Why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker and end everyone's
misery?
Can we hold the Joker morally responsible for his actions?
Is Batman better than Superman?
If everyone followed Batman's example,
would Gotham be a better place?
What is the Tao of the Bat?
Batman is one of the most complex characters ever to appear in
comic books, graphic novels, and on the big screen. What
philosophical trials does this superhero confront in order to keep
Gotham safe? Combing through seventy years of comic books,
television shows, and movies, Batman and Philosophy explores how
the Dark Knight grapples with ethical conundrums, moral
responsibility, his identity crisis, the moral weight he carries to
avenge his murdered parents, and much more. How does this caped
crusader measure up against the teachings of Plato, Aristotle,
Kant, Kierkegaard, and Lao Tzu?
