Nerdist’s Jessica Chobot interviewed me about an interesting legal issue from Batman Begins: is Batman criminally responsible for Ra’s al Ghul’s death? A similar question was asked in a comment to this post back in 2012, but the answer had to wait until now. So is Batman a murderer? What about Jim Gordon? Watch the interview to find out!
