"This book examines the dominant popular culture convention of the superhero, situated
within the most significant global event of the last twenty years. Exploring the explosion
of the superhero genre post-9/11, it sheds fresh light on the manner in which American
society has processed and continues to process the trauma from the terrorist attacks.
Beginning with the development of Batman in comics, television and film, the authors
offer studies of popular films including Iron Man, Captain America, The X-Men, Black
Panther and Wonder Woman, revealing the ways in which these texts meditate upon the
events and aftermath of 9/11, and challenge the dominant hyper-patriotic narrative
that emerged in response to the attacks. A study of the superhero genre's capacity
to unpack complex global interplays which question America's foreign policy actions
and the white, militarized masculinity that has characterized major discourses following
9/11, this volume explores the engagement of superhero films with issues of authority,
patriotism, war, morals, race, gender, surveillance, the military industrial complex,
and American political and social identities. As such, it will appeal to scholars
and students of cultural and media studies, film studies, sociology, politics and
American studies"
