Adaptation in Other Media
Elements of No Man's Land are used in the film The Dark Knight Rises; while there is no earthquake, Bane sets off various bombs that damage key areas of Gotham and destroy all but one of its bridges, forcing the citizens to remain inside Gotham as a nuclear bomb counts down, leaving them forced to band together as various gangs to survive the anarchy created by Bane's actions. Also used is the notion of Bane serving as an enforcer for John Daggett, who fills in for Lex Luthor with a similar agenda to take over Wayne Enterprises, instead of taking over Gotham. This is also a slight reference to Batman: The Animated Series.
Elements of "No Man's Land" are also used in the video game "Batman Arkham City", using the idea of a supervillain turf war after Gotham is cut off from the rest of civilization (Although in this case only part of Gotham has been cut off, with parts of the city turned into a prison to contain the various criminals).

Famous quotes containing the words adaptation and/or media:
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
