Are comics (dc marvel) conservative? Like are superheroes inherently a right wing idea? Where does that come from? (bleedingcool.com)

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?

Actually, there have been many famous villains who want to change the status quo for the better. But they always pull some Pol Pot move and blow up an orphanage or massacre a retirement home because…. ANARCHY!!!!

For example, in the latest Batman movie, The Riddler spends the whole movie slowly exposing the city’s elites and how Bruce Wayne benefits from his family neglecting orphans and cozying up with the mob to murder investigators. Then Riddler just decides to flood the entire city lol.
