I'm a senior psych major, and the armchair analysis of Batman villains is too simplistic. Oh well. ( ) Quite an easy introduction to psychology with the “Dark Knight” & a DC comic centric theme , the author goes about explaining mental neurosis and sociopathic tendencies in daily life with Batman and his adversaries as examples . To me Batman’s psycho profile is insipid and boring , but was more interested in the villainous type namely Bane & The Joker . However at times I found the author was grasping at straws - specially the comparison on Bruce Wayne & Hamlet (Shakespeare) using Freudian & Carl Jung psychoanalytic theories . A fascinating and super-serious look at whether Batman is crazy. Some of the pure psychology sections got a little dry for my tastes (probably because I'm not a psychologist), but the book doesn't get too bogged down by that. Langley really knows his Batman and he really knows his psychology! As a writer, it was also interesting in explaining why a character like Batman has stood the test of time. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Batman is one of the most compelling and enduring characters to come from the Golden Age of Comics, and interest in his story has only increased through countless incarnations since his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. Why does this superhero without superpowers fascinate us? What does that fascination say about us? Batman and Psychology explores these and other intriguing questions about the masked vigilante, including the following: Does Batman have PTSD? Why does he fight crime? Why as a vigilante? Why the mask, the bat, and the underage partner? Why are his most intimate relationships with bad girls he ought to lock up? And why won't he kill that homicidal green-haired clown? This book, which is written by a psychology professor and Superherologist (a scholar of superheroes), gives fresh insight into the complex inner world of Batman and Bruce Wayne (and the other characters of Gotham City), using this popular comic-book character as a lens to help explain psychological theory and concepts.
