#320 - Being More Than A Hero (The Dark Knight)

From the time we first open our eyes and are able to perceive colours, we are fascinated with heroes.

Batman happens to be one that many get drawn into.But Batman is no ordinary hero. In fact, one may be challenged to call him a hero at all. He is a dark individual, suffering from the loss of his parents. He also blurs the lines quite often, killing being the only line that he won’t cross. Is Batman someone we should look up to? And could we label him as a hero or even a Stoic sage?This episode is also available on YouTube.Transcripts can be found on Substack: https://strongstoic.substack.com/Find this episode on:https://linktr.ee/Strongstoic The Strong Stoic Podcast is a raw, honest, and unapologetically deep podcast about philosophy and self-improvement.
