#320 - Being More Than A Hero (The Dark Knight)
About this episode
From the time we first open our eyes and are able to perceive colours, we are fascinated with heroes. Children may not understand the philosophy or psychology of a hero, yet they can easily become encapsulated by the virtuous acts of other people. Batman happens to be one that many get drawn into.
But Batman is no ordinary hero. In fact, one may be challenged to call him a hero at all. He is a dark individual, suffering from the loss of his parents. He also blurs the lines quite often, killing being the only line that he won’t cross. Is Batman someone we should look up to? And could we label him as a hero or even a Stoic sage?
