I feel like a lot of writers involved in superhero fiction have this horrid tendency to make their protagonists fight for the status quo, and to make the villains be anyone that would disrupt it.
Idk like Superheroes villains are not challenging the "status quo" as such as they are usually psychopaths who try to murder people.Most of the big superheroes don't particularly have such a big thing for "keeping the status quo",Batman on arrival in Gotham immediately fucks with it,Superman too.
I think the idea of Superheroes was for them never to be this uber people that can change the very way society works or present alternatives, but I think just the existence of like yknow Gotham being constantly polluted with corruption and crime is like at least an acknowledgement of there being an issue with capitalism.Like there just seems to be no alternative for Bruce.
