(Christopher Nolan, 2005) reveals. Promoting this new release as a work that differed substantially from earlier filmic incarnations of Batman, Bale expressed a desire to tie the rebooted, darker and more mysterious, protagonist of Batman Begins to Kane’s authorial vision, perhaps in order to emphasize the marked departure from the campy aesthetics for which the television series had come to be known and which director Joel Schumacher’s two Batman movies (Batman Forever, 1995; Batman & Robin, 1997) had updated for a new generation of viewers. Batman Begins, Bale noted,“is what Bob Kane intended when he first created the character.... I spoke with his wife, and she said that he was appalled when the (1960s) TV series spoofed what he had intended”(qtd. in Gordon et al. viii). 1 Kane’s distinction between his “definitive” Batman and ABC’s television series as a “marvelous spoof” and Bale’s understanding of the series as a spoof that violated Kane’s authorial intentions raise questions about narrative and discursive authority: who can authoritatively enter the fictional universe of specific superheroes and tell stories involving these iconic characters? Who determines which stories are legitimate continuations of a series and which are illegitimate, or at least non-definitive, spoofs? And what role have parodies and spoofs played in the recent extension of “the superhero comic book aesthetic” into “the wider cultural consciousness”(Ndalianis 4), including the transmediation of comic book superheroes into Hollywood cinema? 2 John Cawelti has suggested that a proliferation of parodies indicates a genre’s stage of final exhaustion:One can almost make out a life cycle characteristic of genres as they move from an initial period of articulation and discovery, through a phase of conscious self-awareness on the part of both creators and audiences, to a time when the generic patterns have become so wellknown that people become tired of their predictability. It is at this point that parodic and satiric treatments proliferate and new genres gradually arise.(200)
