I learned to appreciate philosophy by reading essays by philosophers exploring the philosophy of Middle Earth and Batman.

ER, wait asec, Batman was in Middle Earth? Was That a swap where Frodo or Gandalf was displaced to Gotham City somehow?

(I’d read /watch *that* cross over for sure!)

Thanks for the legal perspective!

What’s good about it is that the author does have a law degree. Several issues are addressed like the “right” to a secret identity (both when someone is arrested and when testifying as a witness), the nature of cruel and unusual punishment (specifically some types of incarnation for powerful supervillains), and the use of superpowers.
