Análise do mito pessoal de Batman à luz da novela gráfica “O regresso do cavaleiro das trevas” de Frank Miller: A hipótese da “Chiropterantropia”
Abstract(s)
Após 78 anos de ter sido criado, a personagem de Batman tem vindo ganhar nas últimas décadas relevância mediática, impulsionada pela transição das narrativas da personagem da banda desenha para o grande ecrã. Na actualidade, Batman é considerado como um dos super-heróis mais emblemáticos, adquirindo o estatuto de ícone cultural, sendo igualmente reconhecido tanto por fãs, como por leigos. Face a tal mediatismo, torna-se pertinente refletir sobre uma personagem tão relevante nos dias de hoje. Entendeu-se por mito pessoal de Batman, o conjunto de elementos canónicos que formam a narrativa base sobre o mesmo. Com o presente trabalho pretendeu-se analisar o mito pessoal de Batman à luz da novela gráfica “O regresso do cavaleiro das trevas”, de modo a compreender as motivações e fantasias de Batman que estão por detrás da sua transformação em “Homem-Morcego” e da sua demanda contra o crime. Formulou-se uma conceptualização do mundo interno de Batman e com base na mesma colocou-se a hipótese da “Chiropterantropia”, processo transformativo intrapsíquico, que assume duas funções defensivas (refúgio psíquico; repleção narcísica) e que culmina na transformação externa em Batman. A hipótese formulada foi posteriormente comparada com o mito pessoal de Batman. Concluiu-se que o mito pessoal de Batman resultou da reorganização e reconstrução dos seus dados biográficos, sob a influência das suas fantasias precoces, que conduzem, em última instância, à “Chiropterantropia” e à sua demanda contra o crime. A culpa inconsciente de Batman é o elemento central e oculto a partir do qual o seu mito pessoal se constrói.
ABSTRACT: After 78 years of being created, the comic book character Batman has been gaining in recent decades media relevance, driven by the transition of the comic book narratives to the big screen. Nowadays, Batman is considered one of the most emblematic superheroes of all time, acquiring the status of cultural icon, being equally recognized by both fans and laymen. Faced with such mediatism, it is pertinent to reflect on such a relevant character. It was understood by Batman's personal myth, the set of canonical elements that form the narrative base of every Batman story. The present study, aims to analyze the personal myth of Batman in the light of the graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns”, and be able to understand Batman's motivations and fantasies that induce his transformation into "Batman" and his crusade against crime. A conception of Batman's internal world was formulated and an hypothesis was created based on the latter:"Chiropteranthropy", an intrapsychic transformational process, which assumes two defensive functions (psychic retreat, narcissistic repletion) wich culminates in the external transformation of Batman. The hypothesis created was compared to Batman's personal myth. It was concluded that Batman's personal myth resulted from the reorganization and reconstruction of his biographical data under the influence of his precocious fantasies, which ultimately lead to "Chiropteranthropy" and his crusade against crime. The unconscious guilt of Batman is the central and hidden element from which his personal myth is built
