Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the potential of comic books and movies about Batman in teaching Kant’s deontological ethics, using the comicsophy approach to teaching philosophy. Batman’s actions and moral principles can be analyzed through the prism of Kant’s categorical imperative. Batman’s comic universe can serve as a platform for discussion on numerous issues of Kant’s deontological ethics, and be used as a kind of medium of philosophical thinking, thereby contributing to the consideration of ethical issues.
