G. Christopher Williams writes:
"Be it childish play or American optimism, the might of Batman and Robin or of their foes (as you can take on the roles of the likes of the Joker, Penguin, and Catwoman in new story chapters after completing the "good guy" chapters") becomes a form of muscularly-driven "intellectualism" that generates a spirit of authentic progressivism often very uniquely American. The heroes of American myth are deathless and good will win over evil if, as one of the great mythmakers of American culture, William Faulkner, famously pointed out, they are simply able to endure."
