A KNIGHT SO DARK: BATMAN VS. PSYCHOLOGY

Panel Room 1

Saturday October 16, 2021 - 2:30 pm to 3:15 pm


What goes on inside Bruce Wayne's head? Does Batman have PTSD or show posttraumatic growth? Why does he fight crime? Why as a vigilante? Why the mask, the bat, and the underage partner? Why are his most intimate relationships with "bad girls" he ought to lock up? And why won't he kill that homicidal, green-haired clown? Dr. Travis Langley (Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight; The Joker Psychology: Evil Clowns and the Women Who Love Them), the man Stan Lee called "a genius" and Adam West dubbed "Batman's psychologist, sends out the signal to get a real discussion going with experts in crime and mental health: criminologist Dr.Shelly Clevenger (Sam Houston State University) and therapist Ben Stover (Popcorn Psychology). Does Batman have bats in his belfry?
