Martinico on Whether Batman Is Above the Law: Law and Justice In the Batman Fictional Universe @martinicogi @SantAnnaPisa

Giuseppe Martinico, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna Pisa, has published Is Batman Above the Law? Law and Justice in the Batman Fictional Universe as STALS RESEARCH PAPER 4/2023. Here is the abstract.

In this essay I shall attempt to explore the relationship of law and justice in Batman, seeing how he understands law and how he relates to law. To do so, an itinerary will be proposed, looking at comics and animated series (excluding, therefore, the film versions, except for a few "raids" in Nolan's trilogy).
