The Batman trilogy
an ethics of evil, the law, and the rise of Trump's fascism in the USA
pp. 117-145
Abstract
A schizoanalysis of the Batman Trilogy is ventured here. I explore an ethics of evil in relation to the Law and the rise of Trump's America First policies. There is a schizophrenic struggle, a conflict between Gothic fear and heroic justice, a thread that I follow through these three films. My intention in this venture is to show how the schizo-paranoid extremes play off of one another as desire and interests are manifested into actions through Batman and his adversaries.
