Batman is one of the most recognized and popular pop culture icons.
Appearing on the page of Detective Comics #27 in 1939, the
character has inspired numerous characters, franchises, and
spin-offs over his 80+ year history. The character has displayed
versatility, appearing in stories from multiple genres, including
science fiction, noir, and fantasy and mediums far beyond his comic
book origins. While there are volumes analyzing Batman through
literary, philosophical, and psychological lenses, this volume is
one of the first academic monographs to examine Batman through a
theological and religious lens. Theology and Batman analyzes Batman
and his world, specifically exploring the themes of theodicy and
evil, ethics and morality, justice and vengeance, and the Divine
Nature. Scholars will appreciate the breadth of material covered
while Batman fans will appreciate the love for the character
expressed through each chapter.
