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?
That’s not true. The US has plenty of flesh and blood celebrities. From Tom Brady to Taylor Swift to Elon Musk to Joel Osteen to Donald Trump, we’ve definitely got people that we’ve placed on pedestals.
We don’t have war heroes because we have a military focused on terror bombing and assassinations, rather than street fightering and militia building. But we do have warmongers, who we regale as bold truth tellers and spiritual leaders.
If the Iranian government were to assassinate the Op-Ed section of the NYT, far more tears would be shed than if they knocked out a David Petraus or a Lloyd Austin.
If they really did pull a Sum Of All Fears and blew up a football stadium during the Super Bowl? Killing famous singers and ballers and countless middle managers and political mega-donors? Bedlam.
