Batman or Superman? Which of these heroic figures is morally
superior? Which is more dramatically effective? Which is more
democratic? Which shows us the better way to fight crime? In
Batman, Superman, and Philosophy, 26 philosophers evaluate Superman
vs. Batman in order to decide which of them "wins" by various
criteria. Since both Batman, the megalomaniacal industrialist, and
Superman, the darling of the media, sometimes operate outside the
law, which of them makes the better vigilante -- and how do they
compare with Robin Hood, the anonymous donor, the Ninja, and the
KKK? Which of them comes out better in terms of evolutionary
biology? Which of the heroes works more effectively to resist
oppression? Which one is better for the environment? Which of these
two makes a better model and inspiring myth to define our culture
and society? Is Batman or Superman the more admirable person? Who
conforms more closely to Nietzsche's Ubermensch? Who makes the
better god? Who is more self-sacrificing? Whose explicit code of
morality is superior? Which superhero gives us more satisfying
dramatic conflict? And why does a battle between the two make such
a compelling drama?
