520    "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 zwinsy 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
       Übermensch? 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?"--|cProvided by publisher.
