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?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. |
