Teaser Tuesday: Batman and Psychology

Teaser Tuesday is a meme at Should Be Reading. We’re to post two random sentence from a current read.

“Long before he makes the crazy-sounding decision to run around dressed like a bat, Bruce Wayne first makes the decision to wage war on all criminals—a goal in some ways crazier than wearing a mask because one person cannot fight all criminals. To understand how the decision to fight crime anonymously evolved somewhere in between these two points, we should look at how his general thinking ability developed.”

This is from page 56 of Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight by Travis Langley, which I reviewed in last week’s post. Again, this is a clever way to get people to learn about psychology by applying it to the Batman universe.
