Ep 48: Who Watches Superman

Published: May 2, 2018, 12:28 p.m.

Should the heroes who enforce justice, also decide what is or isn\u2019t just? Where are the lines between heroism, vigilantism, or just using your powers to do what you want? And does great power actually come with great responsibility, or is that too much to ask of people with powers?
In this episode, Jacob and Matthew use Kingdom Come, a fantastic 1996 run of Superman comic books, as a jumping off point to dive into these questions and more. This episode explores questions around justice, power, law enforcement, and accountability, in the superhero world and our own. And while the books are amazing, (and find-able online!) you don\u2019t have to have read them to appreciate this conversation.
