This is a BBC news report about how some universities are using comics to engage their students into thinking about moral dilemmas...
A popular one would be "Should the Batman kill the Joker?" and another that is considered in the article above is "Does Peter Parker have an obligation to be Spider-man?"
These types of questions are being posed to students as a way to introduce them into thinking about ethics and morals.
Which comic character has had an effect on how you act in these moral situations?
Ironman's drinking?
Batman's duty over Jason?
Punisher chosing to kill every criminal?
