In Other Media
In the Witchblade television series, Nottingham was portrayed by Eric Etebari. Irons used the preserved stem cells of Elizabeth Brontë, a former wielder of the Witchblade, to create Nottingham and raised him as his son. In the first season finale, he was killed and Irons replaced with an overly-aggressive clone (however, time was rewound and his death was averted). Irons maintained control of Nottingham by stunting his emotional growth and Ian remains a virgin. Nottingham was shown as an enigmatic figure dressed in black that appeared before Pezzini to give her cryptic advice (usually veiled warnings of what his boss had planned for her), then disappeared into the shadows. He is obsessed with Pezzini, and shared a kiss with her doppelganger, Aras.
There have also been two separate action figures released of Nottingham. The first was the 1997 release of the Witchblade action figure series which depicted Nottingham in the full battle armor that he wore in Witchblade issues 1-8. The second figure was in the Witchblade series II action figures, released in 1999, that depicted Nottingham bare-chested.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
