The first iconic episode and a classic example of the intersection between pop culture and Christianity that the SFC does so well.

Is Batman justified in his vigilantism?

There are four areas Batman must be justified:

  1. General morality
  2. Legality
  3. Motive
  4. Effectiveness
20:04 We're talking about Jesus the man, not Jesus the God-- You can't separate them. Oh, you're going to separate Jesus now?
22:27 'All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.' Is that from a comic book?
42:04 Even if you can say that Batman created supervillains (which I'm not even sure if you can 100% say that), you can't say that Batman created all bad. Otherwise he would be called 'Badman'.

Archivist Note

Check out the original episode for some "firsts", a prophecy, and some great feedback.
