Batman and Philosophy: The Dark
Knight of the Soul (The Blackwell
Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)
Great Book. An Interesting Read For Fans.
Why doesnt Batman just kill the Joker and end everyones misery?
Can we hold the Joker morally responsible for his actions?
Is Batman better than Superman?
If everyone followed Batmans 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?
Personal Review: Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of
the Soul (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)
If you're looking for a light, cheap (in the intellectual sense) read that
doesn't require any thinking, this isn't your book. If you're looking for a
book that shows a surprising depth of understanding both about both
subjects, one that will make you think about aspects of both Batman you
had never considered before and maybe teach you a few (or many) things
about philosophy and interpretation of great philosophers along the way,
this is definitely the book for you. I highly recommend it for anyone
interested in Batman (or anyone involved in his crazy large batfamily!), and
anyone versed in or just curious about great philosophers.
