Abstract

Dark Night: A True Batman Story adalah sebuah novel grafis karya Paul Dini, seorang animator dan penulis dari banyak animasi dan novel grafis DC yang pernah di terbitkan. Studio komik DC telah dikenal dengan ikon pahlawan berjubahnya, Batman, sebagai gambaran seorang pahlawan dengan tema dan kepribadian yang gelap dalam tema ceritanya. Setelah Paul Dini menerbitkan novel grafis pertamanya dengan kisah pribadi dirinya yang menceritakan konflik psikologis yang menggambarkan karakter imajinernya dalam bentuk karakterkarakter pada dunia Batman, penulis memutuskan untuk mencari implementasi dalam penggunaan teori psikologi dan semiotika pada novel grafis berjudul Dark Night: A True Batman Story yang penulis telah pilih sebagai objek penelitian yang dimana pada novel grafis ini terdapat cerita yang berhubungan dengan kondisi psikologis yang di miliki penulis novel grafis itu sendiri. Penulis mengaplikasikan teori Analisa psikologi dan semiotka untuk menemukan data-data yang terkait dengan peneliatian itu sendiri. Teori psikologis Freudian digunakan oleh penulis unutk mengambil konsep-konsep tertentu dari teori the dynamic model of mind untuk mengungkap penggambaran Id dan Super-Ego dalam karakter-karakter imajiner Dini. Teori semiotik digunakan pula untuk mengungkap simbolisme yang ditanamkan oleh masing-masing karakter imajiner Dini yang melambangkan makna tertentu. Data yang telah dikumpulkan diambil dalam bentuk screenshot dari panel komik yang menggambarkan banyak ilustrasi dan dialog yang terkait dengan konsep psikologi Sigmund Freud dan teori simbol semiotik. Penggambaran psikoanalisis dan simbolisme dalam novel grafis Dark Night: A True Batman Story diterapkan dengan benar pada teori psikoanalisis Sigmund Freud dan simbolisme semiotik. Saran untuk peneliti berikutnya adalah untuk menggunakan teori atau pendekatan akademik yang berbeda

English Abstract

Dark Night: A True Batman Story is a graphic novel written by Paul Dini, the animator and the author of many DC animations and graphic novels ever released. DC Comics studio is known for its famous caped crusader icon, Batman, as the portrayal of the hero with a darker persona and theme for its story. As Paul Dini released his first graphic novel with its personal story about his psychological conflict that portrays his imaginary characters in a form of Batman’s universe characters, the writer decided to find the implementation from the psychology and semiotics theory in the graphic novel. In this research, the writer took the Dark Night: A True Batman Story graphic novel as the object for this research as the graphic novel itself contained the story that would relate to the psychological issues which its author has. The writer applied the theory of psychoanalysis and semiotic to find any data that would be related to the research itself. The Freudian psychological theory is used as the writer took particular concepts of the dynamic model of mind to reveal the depiction of the Id and Super-Ego within the imaginary friends of Dini. The semiotic theory is also used to reveal the symbolism which each imaginary friends of Dini were investing to symbolize specific meanings. The data that had been collected were taken in the form of screenshots of the comic’s panel which depicted many illustrations and dialogues that were related to the Freudian concepts and semiotic symbol theory. The result of this research shows that the graphic novel applied the dynamic model of mind concept from Freudian psychoanalysis theory and symbolism concept from semiotic theory within the story illustrated in the graphic novel. The depiction of psychoanalysis and symbolism within his graphic novel applied correctly to the origin theory of Freudian psychoanalysis and semiotic symbolism. The suggestions for the next researchers are to use different academic theories or approaches
