“As a follow up to the Batman at 700 episode, any real fan of the Dark Knight needs to pick up the book "Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul." This book takes you on a journey through the mind of all that makes up the Bat. It takes you through the real-life arguments as a justification or condemnation of all that Batman does or does not do. You go through classic discussions like: Why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker. Everyone in Gotham would be better off, and no one would hold Batman accountable. Is it right to make a Robin? Batman is putting other lives in danger in the quest to uphold his promise to his murdered parents. Is it even right to make a promise that he know he can't keep? The book also goes through other interesting arguements such as: If the court system routinely allows the defense of insanity, can we hold the Joker responsible for his actions? Is it Bruce Wayne the Batman, or is the Batman Bruce Wayne? Can they be mutually exclusive? Can the Batman be the Joker? Is it right for Batman to operate outside the law, and is his hatred of criminals virtuous?
Personally, Batman is my favorite of all the DC characters. The one thing that seperates Batman from ALL other DC heroes is that he is mortal. The same bank robber that Superman can just whack in the skull, THE END...Batman has a real world fear that any mission could be his last. Is this the day that some creep just gets lucky and ends the life of Bruce Wayne? This is the main reason the he keeps his little circle close to the cowl. The risks he takes are his and his alone and shouldn't endanger anyone else.
Love the Major Spoilers. Love the Critical Hit. I wait in anticipation of future episodes.

“I've been looking for a quality comics podcast for a ling time and thought I had found one here. But, sadly, in the weeks leading up to the DC relaunches, these guys (one in particular) became such boosters for products that hadn't come out yet and went so far as critiquing not the...”Read full review »
