I was looking into some of the older batman comics and I wanted to know more about the personal politics of the writers. Frank miller, moore, etc, and needless to say I didn’t really find much in that regard.

I posted an article above; just as an example to what kind of info I could find about that subject. I’m not satisfied.

Like are superheroes just a right wing ideal? That issues in the world need (a few) very powerful people in order to solve instead of just systematically solving them?

Or is that the superheroes we do have are made by people with rightwing leanings?

    They’re definitely a right wing ideal, and in fact many of the most popular superheroes are fascists in colourful costumes.

    The concept of a superhero is inherently liberal (as in liberalism, not the USian meaning of “liberal”).
