This Companion explores the evolution, representation, and meaning of superheroes within the broader popular media and culture landscape, as connected to both contemporary and historical frameworks. The volume proposes itself as a comprehensive resource in the interdisciplinary field of "Superhero Studies", acknowledging it as its own area of scholarly and cultural interest. Superhero Studies brings together perspectives from a number of intersecting disciplines such as comics studies, film studies, television studies, fandom studies, game studies, and beyond. In answer to the evolutionary portrayals of superheroes in our cultures, histories, and narratives, The Routledge Companion of Superhero Studies addresses the development, transformation, and meaning of these iconic figures, by taking a transnational, multimedia, and interdisciplinary approach to assessing their importance in our evolving representational contexts.
