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?

They are inherently unegalitarian, so yes.
