Is this a valid interpretation? Is it possible that this was the point all along, or is this looking too deep into things?

Nope.
Miller characterized Superman as a government stooge who deserved a beat down. No more, no less.

Nice work refuting those points, oh wait, except you didn't at all.
Are there seriously people who didn't pick up on this stuff...? This is like the basic plot of the book. People here really don't have any fucking reading comprehension, do they?
>>78202839
I don't have to, Miller had mad very clear what he was doing.
He wrote both as icons showing their age, and trumped up Superman to be blindly patrioctic and loyal to the government, aloof and privileged.
Batman's need for control and his army of child soldiers is done without irony. Miller truly presented Batman-as-fascist-power-fantasy as an ideal.
Jerk harder, fanboy.

Actually Frank Miller has made several statement to the contrary of that interpretation.
Miller really was presenting Batman as being in the right. Because Batman doesn't have super powers like that hoity toity Superman on his high horse in his ivory tower. Not like salt-of-the-earth Bruce Wayne.

If you have to write that many words about a cape comic, especially an old one, then your interpretations is probably wrong and you're reading too much into things or projecting.
>>78202544
It's a valid interpretation, but whether or not it's the point is up for argument.
>>78202544
this is definitely how it came across to me- although I'm not sure it was intentional

Why is it a very disturbing lolita-like relationship just because it's Carrie Kelley?
I know it's not exactly new to point out how weirdly incongruous the whole Robin deal is to modern Batman, and that's fine: what I want to know is why, when there are already a couple of wards mentioned, is the relationship with Kelley the weird one?
He's a guy who dresses up as a bat and trains children to fight with him. That's fucked in the head. Why do we have to have this cognitive dissonance from Batfags?
