Toon Zone Talkback - Batman: Teacher of Judaic Moral Values

[Ed Liu]

This is the talkback thread for Batman: Teacher of Judaic Moral Values (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=13101).

That Batman. Wotta mensch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensch)!

That's an interesting view of Batman!

You know, he does have a lot of money . . .
Nah.
This does sound like an interesting book though. Never would have though of Batman and Jewish in the same sentance. Well, except for "Batman saved that Jewish man," or some other satisfactory noun. The connection of Judaism and superheroes is typically a Superman thing (which I find horriblly ironic due to the views of a certian German philosopher whose name is rather difficult to spell at the moment). I would like to find this sometime, despite not being Jewish. I believe it would make for an interesting read.

Comicon.com's PULSE News just interviewed Cary Friedman about his book Wisdom from the Batcave (http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=005752). Turns out that Friedman has a bit of a dual-identity as well as both a Rabbi and an FBI profiler, the latter job being a direct result of his love of Batman.
