My reasoning for not using it that I think it presupposes some knowledge of the history of not only Batman, but of the whole DC universe that might be inaccessible to new readers, in terms of content as well as artistic storytelling choices. I thought Year One was a more accessible work for a new reader. For my class specifically, this also introduced the superhero genre, so I didn't want to begin with something that deconstructed it as much as DK Returns until they were exposed to something a little more traditional. But, any of these things are debatable and, depending on the class and who's teaching it, mileage may vary.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419225915112178634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060877244096516182.post-70907220067545739392019-02-11T10:37:42.643-08:002019-02-11T10:37:42.643-08:00Interesting!

I'm glad for a much more in-depth report. It sounds like a terrific experience, Wayne. I make the joke every time, but it's not really a joke to say that I wish I could take the class. <br /><br />As always, thanks for sharing.<br />TerryUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904084154744212623noreply@blogger.com
