While much of the scholarship on superhero narratives has focused on the heroes themselves, Batmanโ€™s Villains and Villainesses: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Arkhamโ€™s Souls takes into view the depiction of the villains and their lives, arguing that they often function as proxies for larger societal and philosophical themes. Approaching Gothamโ€™s villains from a number of disciplinary backgrounds, the essays in this collection highlight how the villainsโ€™ multifaceted backgrounds, experiences, motivations, and behaviors allow for in-depth character analysis across varying levels of social life. Through investigating their cultural and scholarly relevance across the humanities and social sciences, the volume encourages both thoughtful reflection on the relationship between individuals and their social contexts and the use of villains (inside and outside of Gotham) as subjects of pedagogical and scholarly inquiry.
