In Politics in Gotham, scholars from a variety of fields-political science, philosophy, law, and others-provide answers to the question: 'What does Batman have to do with politics?' Contributors use the Batman canon, from the comics to the feature films, to explore a broad range of issues in politics and political thought. What can Batman's role in Gotham City teach us about democracy? How do Batman's vigilantism and his violence fit within a society committed to the rule of law? What's the relationship between politics in Gotham and politics in our own communities? From Machiavelli to the fake news phenomenon, this book provides a compelling introduction to the politics behind one of the world's most enduring pop culture figures.
Damien K. Picariello is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Carolina Sumter, USA
