Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul

Batman is one of the most complex characters ever to appear in\ncomic books, graphic novels, and on the big screen. What\nphilosophical trials does this superhero confront in order to keep\nGotham safe?

\n

Combing through seventy years of comic books, television shows,\nand movies, Batman and Philosophy explores how the Dark\nKnight grapples with ethical conundrums, moral responsibility, his\nidentity crisis, the moral weight he carries to avenge his murdered\nparents, and much more. How does this caped crusader measure up\nagainst the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Kierkegaard, and\nLao Tzu?
