Hadrian also worked to secure his popularity outside the city, traveling the empire to cultivate alliances, particularly with the Greeks. Through iconography, he cast himself as the protector of Greek culture, which still held sway throughout the eastern Mediterranean and beyond: an imposing statue of Hadrian in military regalia shows him trampling a barbarian - powerful imagery in the Greek portion of the empire, which had been traumatized by rebellion. His breastplate further emphasizes the Greco-Roman union, displaying the Greek goddess Athena standing upon a she-wolf that was a symbol of Rome...
There's a beautiful high-angle shot, early in The Dark Knight, that looks down on Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) in full Batman regalia as he perches atop a Gotham skyscraper, surveying the city he lives to protect, then leaping off and spreading his majestic bat wings to swoop down into the night. Bruce's trajectory is also the film's. It traces a descent into moral anarchy, and each of its major characters will hit bottom. Some will never recover, broken by the touch of evil or by finding it, like a fatal infection, in themselves...
...over the city, squads of anxious riot police manned street corners as Chelsea and United fans - easily distinguished by their, respectively, blue and red-and-white regalia - strolled the streets, drinking beer and riding the famous Moscow subway.

...knows - Mutt is Indy's son by Marion. (Why is he called Mutt? Presumably because, as we learned at the end of The Last Crusade, Indiana was the name of the Jones family dog; Mutt's just extending the breed.) He enters on a motorcycle, in the leather-jacket regalia Marlon Brando sported in The Wild One, and soon displays some of the athletic skills he must have inherited from his absent dad. Whether the smooth-visaged LaBeouf can grow into Ford's craggy machismo - or even whether he can top the teen Indys that have been played by River...
...been transformed into a very un-sexy music video. Jack McBrayer, who plays Kenneth Parcell on the hit comedy “30 Rock,” stars as a nerd in the video whom Mariah hires to fix her computer. He shows up in full geek regalia with large rimmed glasses that belong in the 70s and a polka-dotted bow tie. Stranger than his attire is the ensuing wet dream he has of Mariah while supposedly working on her computer. After McBrayer sits down to work, we are inflicted with his vision of Mariah lying seductively...
