The city in the superheroes movies
Abstract
In this paper we analyze the image of the city in the superhero film through: the study of the city as a sign of democratic values and the relationship of the superhero with the laws, the role of the narrative city and its filmmaking, the city as the setting for the fight between superheroes and villains, and the mass media as a determinant factor in the relationship between the superhero and citizenship. When we mention the word “city”, we also refer to citizens as well as to urban structures.
