It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The irony being that Superman was first penned by people looking for a hero and Batman is kind of a reactionary answer to him. Community building was never in the lexicon here. And that is why, I think I realise, I really dislike most classic comics. It feels like a response to a collective trauma. Something something simple answers to complex problems.

(Edited for confusion on origin.)

Superman was penned in response to 1930's anti-semitism by two Jewish artists and is literally an adopted refugee baby.
