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?
I mean the Joker usually has a goal, even if it may be one that is hard to understand. They reboot and speculate Joker’s origin pretty often. It’s usually somebody either ordinary or someone with a mental illness being completely broken and humiliated by American society to the point of nihilism. With no coherent ideology or education, the Joker is typically somebody who is now only able to express themselves through bombastic violence and tries to mindfuck Batman into seeing himself in the Joker or something. Granted, these characters are shuffled through dozens of hands over the course of decades so this isn’t always accurate
