Metamorfosis del Superhéroe: Batman. Análisis narrativo audiovisual de las películas “El Caballero Oscuro

Abstract

The central point of this research is to present the audiovisual narratives of the character Batman as a source of teaching for the audience on issues that are found in everyday life and that they tend to evolve over time. Therefore, this thesis shows a comparison between the superhero movies: Batman: The Movie (1966), Batman (1989) and Christopher Nolan's trilogy (2005-2012), all part of the world of DC Entertainment belonging to the United States. At the same time, it exposes the debate on the ideological and political discourse that is created around the films with respect to the social, economic, military, cultural and political issues that American society is going through in each of the eras. It also contemplates a brief description of the main characters, detailing their physical features, psychological aspects, existing changes, and the role they play in each installment, to perform a discourse analysis based on the Teun Van Dijk and Patrick Charaudeau theory of the most important scenes of the three films, in which we try to highlight the changes that are raised in each production. With the results obtained, it was possible to reflect how these films created a new way of looking at superhero cinema, in which more realistic or critical narratives about the contemporary world can be shown.
