Week 4: Batman comics

This week i read the Batman comics from both 1940 and 2010. I can see how the style of Superhero comics have changed through time. The Batman comic from 1940 is definitely more simplified. The colors are very limited. Most of the colors are red, green, blue, yellow and orange. They are very saturated.  I think that's because of the limitation of the printing techniques. There are not so much shadows in the drawings. The drawing are very flat. There are only a little bit details on the characters. I think Batman and Robin may still be just a symbol of superheroes. They don't have many personalities. They are just a hero and his sidekick. The change of Robin is also very interesting to me. I think in the 1940, the Robin was Dick Grayson. He looks like a 15-year-old teenager. He looks almost like an adult in the comic. He is too muscular for a teenager. When i look at the comic from 2010, the Robin is more like a kid. I guess Damien Wayne is the Robin now. Even though he is younger than Dick Grayson, we can see how the way of depicting teenager characters changed. Also, there are more colors in the comics. We can see burning flames and shining lights. When Batman was fighting in the underground, we can feel how the poisoned water glowing in the dark. Dick Grayson is the Batman in the comic 2010. He is depicted more detailed. He also has more personalities. I think it is very interesting to see how the comics changed.
