The Dark Knight as the Knight of Faith: Batman, Faith, and the Teleological Suspension of the Ethical
摘要
In George Michael’s 1987 hit song Faith, he croons a declaration of faith. The chorus goes:With classic rock-and-roll rhythm, George Michael laments the love that broke his heart. He fights the temptation to return to this torturous love. Rather, in jeans, a leather jacket, cowboy boots, and aviator sunglasses, he resolves to hold out for something better, for someone better. He has faith that true love does not amount to the pain and suffering he went through. He has faith that if he gives up the love he has now, he will receive and give love that is much more.
