Reviews
In this, the latest in Wiley's Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series ( South Park and Philosophy , The Office and... , Metallica and... ), editors White and Arp assert upfront, and without qualification (apparently, that's the contributors' job), their belief that Batman is "the most complex character ever to appear in comic books and graphic novels." Exploring certain works that have broadened the philosophical undercurrents of the Batman mythos (Frank Miller's Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns are cited often, but rarely the new movies), a raft of professors, students and PhD candidates paint Bruce Wayne's choices as, most often, either utilitarian or deontological, with basic descriptions of these systems helpfully provided for the novice. A few contributions broaden the discussion beyond the well-worn (origin stories of Batman and foes, etc.); casting butler Alfred as Kierkegaard's "knight of faith" to Batman's "knight of infinite resignation," contributor Christopher M. Drohan actually gets close to the archetypal sources that keep the serialized exploits of Batman and other comic heroes from getting stale. Unfortunately, most of these essays get old fast. (July) ( Publishers Weekly , July 28, 2008)

Good experience, only problem is crib doesn't stay together. One side is missing nubs to keep it in place which holds it all together. So.... not really as pictured.

  • Awesome book

    This is a sweet book. I am so relaxed when I'm reading it. The book is very easy to read and understand, and you don't have to be a philosipher to get it. At the same time, it's really smart, and makes you think about different perspectives. You learn a lot about Batman, philosophy, and yourself.
