    The superhero narrative is typically premised on the conflict between the hero and the villain, the mythical struggle between good and evil. It therefore promotes a Manichaeanworldview where good and evil are clearly distinguishable quantities. This bipolar model is questioned in the Batman movies of Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan.Since his creation in 1939, Batman has blurred the line between black and white unlike any other classic comic book superhero. As a “floating signifier”, he symbolizes thepermeability of boundaries, for his liminal character inhabits a world between light and darkness, order and anarchy, hero and villain. Drawing on the complex ambiguity of the character, Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan deconstruct the traditional dichotomy of good and evil in the superhero narrative by reversing its polarity and emphasizing the fictionality of it all. Although they differ in style and method, both filmmakers invite us to overcome the Manichaean belief in favor of a more ambivalent and sophisticated viewpoint.

    Drawing on the theories of cultural studies, this study investigates the “Golden Age” of comic books in context of the broader power struggles of their time. It traces the comic-book medium’s cultural roots, its rise to popularity, and its persistent struggles for meanings, cultural space, and an audience. Characters, genres, stereotypes, myths, styles, reflexive devices, and many other narrative elements are discussed as encodings of ideology within the systems of production, consumption, and textuality. ; Basierend auf den Theorien der Cultural Studies untersucht diese Studie das "goldene Zeitalter" der Comic-Hefte im Kontext der Machtkämpfe ihrer Zeit. Sie zeichnet die kulturellen Wurzeln des Mediums, seine Erfolgsgeschichte und sein andauerndes Ringen um Bedeutung, kulturellen Raum und Publikum nach. Die ideologischen Dimensionen von Figuren, Genres, Stereotypen, Mythen, Reflexionen und anderen Erzählelementen werden im Rahmen der Produktions-, Rezeptions- und Texualitätssysteme analysiert.
