I needz stuff - next week I'm teaching my freshman an essay on camp that uses Batman as a primary instance, mostly older comics and the Adam West series. Can any of y'all recommend images/videos for me to show the brats? They're the Nolan Generation, and most of them have never seen a Robin. I've got a few panels - the best one is the "Robin, what have I done?!" - but I'd rather have more stuff than less, and I know some of you actually, yanno, read comics. Unlike me. Erm.

You're quite welcome! I hope it's useful.

Also, you do know about superdickery.com, yes? As a source for brain-breaking Silver Age DC comics, it's pretty hilarious. Do not drink while surfing.

I LOST THE URL FOR THAT AND I'VE BEEN GOOGLING FOR IT TO NO AVAIL LAUREN I LOVE YOU.

. . . glad to be of service?

I'm dubious about providing links to silly, dubious comics. It always makes me want to go, "It's an art form and a legitimate storytelling medium, I swear! Please stop looking at terrible covers from the Silver Age and give Astro City a read!"

But, class on camp. Happy to help.

I know - but I've been beating them over the head with bell hooks for the last two weeks, and they're in need of a giggle break. FWIW, it seems like they know more of the legit medium stuff than the silly comics - last semester I got v. puzzled looks at the suggestion that Batman could be extremely silly and kinda gay.
