Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker and end everyone's suffering? 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 city? What is the Tao of the Bat? Batman is one of the most complex characters to appear in comics, graphic novels, and on the big screen. What philosophical trials does this superhero face in order to keep Gotham safe? By studying seventy years of comics, TV shows, and movies, Batman and Philosophy explores how the Dark Knight grapples with moral dilemmas, moral responsibility, his identity crisis, the moral burden he carries to avenge his murdered parents, and much more. How does this cloaked crusader compare with the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Kierkegaard, and Laozi?
