Ep 48: Who Watches Superman

Should the heroes who enforce justice, also decide what is or isn’t
just? Where are the lines between heroism, vigilantism, or just
using your powers to do what you want? And does great power
actually come with great responsibility, or is that too much to ask
of people with powers?
In this episode, Jacob and Matthew use Kingdom Come, a fantastic
1996 run of Superman comic books, as a jumping off point to dive
into these questions and more. This episode explores questions
around justice, power, law enforcement, and accountability, in the
superhero world and our own. And while the books are amazing, (and
find-able online!) you don’t have to have read them to appreciate
this conversation.
