The devil gets his due in the latest entry in the Pop Culture and Philosophy series. Supervillains and Philosophy features an international cabal of philosophers and comics industry professionals conspiring to reveal the dark details — and deeper meanings — lurking behind today's most popular comic book monsters. Whether it's their moral justification for world domination or the wavering boundaries they share with the modern anti-hero, everyone's favorite villains generate as much attention as their heroic counterparts. The 20 essays in this accessible book explore the nature of supervillainy, examine the boundaries of good and evil, offer helpful advice to prospective supervillains, and untangle diabolical puzzles of identity and consciousness. All the legends are here, from Dr. Doom and the Spectre to the Joker and the Watchmen, reconsidered through the lens of classic and modern philosophy.

Supervillains and Philosophy
I enjoyed it. Much like the other books in the "... and Philosophy" series it's a collection of essays on philosophy in relation to a particular subject. As you can imagine, the theme of this collection is supervillains. My biggest complaint is the same as most other anthologies: it's somewhat uneven. I also think it suffers a bit from not having a longer page count and the various authors not getting to go into more depth with their essays. Both minor nitpicks for an otherwise good collection.
I would recommend this to fans of comics and philosophy.
