Resumen

OLIVEIRA, Luísa de. Hero journey in Batman trajectory. Bol. psicol [online]. 2007, vol.57, n.127, pp.139-152. ISSN 0006-5943.

This article offers a symbolic analysis of Batman, a contemporary hero image, from his creation by Bob Kane in 1939 up to the present based on the concepts of Analytical Psychology and Joseph Campbell. Crucial stages in the heroic cycle are identified, discriminating the main themes in comic books, series and films at the length of the different periods into the character’s evolution. The analysis focuses on the hero’s characteristics and tasks accomplished, emphasizing transformations that take place. The dynamic analysis of this type of character provides ways for approaching the prevalent psychological issues of our times. The completion of the heroic cycle, as formulated by Joseph Campbell, evidences archetypal aspects of the character Batman.

Palabras clave : Super-heroes; Hero archetype; Batman; Analytical Pasichology.
