RESUMO

This paper provides a way to interpret geographic space trough the use of super-hero comics - mainly Batman - highlighting the importance of cultural icons and the comic book language in the modern world. We attempted to demonstrate that the landscape itself, as well as what this landscape represents, confirms or legitimizes the values and ideas of american/capitalist society which, directly or indirectly, generates them. The most important contribution of this paper lies in its application of the little used theme of super-hero comics in geographic studies. In addition, this study facilitates the establishment of an interdisciplinary bridge to the area of Communication studies
