there's to much anti-authoriatarianism in comics these days. If DC would look around, there's still just as much hope of "hey maybe we'll get good leaders," out there as there is "damn out current leaders suck," out there.

Given that the superheroic genre is pretty much anti-authoritarian in it's nature (given it's tendency towards vigilante-ism and "One person can make a difference against the odds") that's maybe not too surprising.

It's perhaps the lack of any positive "powers that be" that is more of an issue.

Someone smarter than me once said that the Punisher and Batman are anarchists in the "offical" sense. The government and police aren't protecting society, so they will.

Except Batman uses minimal force and hands those he captures over to the legal system, to follow due process (in a comic book sense), that's hardly anarchic at all.

The Punisher shoots them dead, having appointed himself Judge, Jury AND Executioner, which is why I have so little time for him.

I disagree. THere was a long time in superhero books, where superheroes were basically the fastest first responders, police officers with fancier badges(Batman was actually given a platinum one) and the obsession about "oh it's vigilantism in the real world"

Yesh, well in the real world Superman catching Lois woul kill her. Things don't work the same in the comics
