King T’Challa / Black Panther – being a superhero AND a ruler

Bat Therapy: Mental Health through the Lens of Comics and Film by Dr. Emilia Brown and Keeden Hopkins

Episode notes

We use Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther to explore the impossible juggle of being the leader of your country while also being a superhero. And being the leader of Wakanda? King T’Challa has multiple secret identities to maintain with the outside world. We look at the cracks in Wakanda’s façade and wonder how the country would have felt toward its leader if the snap had not happened.
