100%. I think that’s part of the human condition- in the absence of justice, vengeance is a hollow substitute. (It’s also the heart of good batman interpretations imo.)
P.S. while I’m talking about DC- it’s not cool to like optimistic superman stories over the dark, evil superman stories (including things like the boys, invincible, irredeemable etc.), but I do anyway. To me and many others, superman is a blatant metaphor for a global superpower/the US. Evil supermen stories are reflections of our current reality. Good supermen stories are ones of hope.
