Hollywood's live-action superhero films currently dominate the
worldwide box-office, with the characters enjoying more notoriety
through their feature film and television depictions than they have
ever before. This book argues that this immense popularity reveals
deep cultural concerns about politics, gender, ethnicity,
patriotism and consumerism after the events of 9/11. Superheroes
have long been agents of hegemony, fighting for abstract ideals of
justice while overall perpetuating the American status quo. Yet at
the same time, the book explores how the genre has also been
utilized to question and critique these dominant cultural
assumptions.
