The Superhero Multiverse focuses on the evolving meanings of the
superhero icon in 21st-century film and popular media, with an
emphasis on re-adaptation, re-imagining, and re-making. With its
focus on multimedia and transmedia transformations, The Superhero
Multiverse pivots on two important points: firstly, it reflects on
the core concerns of the superhero narrative-including the
relationship between 'superhero comics' and 'superhero films', the
comics roots of superhero media, matters of canon and hybridity,
and issues of recycling and stereotyping in superhero films and
media texts. Secondly, it considers how these intersecting textual
and cultural preoccupations are intrinsic to the process of
remaking and re-adapting superheroes, and brings attention to
multiple ways of materializing these iconic figures in our
contemporary context.
