It may be entertaining but, if it portrays superheroes as jerks, what kind of message is it conveying to kids? I can't help thinking this is another effort to undermine any sense of decency and responsibility in the next generation(s) or the American populace. In short -- it's brainwashing.
I'm old enough to remember the original Superman television series, with George Reeves as Superman. Even though he was an extraterrestrial (the show never called him that), the opening for each show made it expressly clear that Superman supported "Truth, Justice, and the American way." They made Superman someone that kids could look up to. They couldn't aspire to having super powers (well, they could aspire all they wanted, but they learned that using a bath towel as a cape doesn't mean you can fly), but they could aspire to being decent human beings.
The Lone Ranger was the same way. Another hero whose real identity was known only to a very few people, and who provided an example for kids to look up to and aspire to emulate. Clayton Moore, the actor who played the Lone Ranger for most of the show's run, spent the left of his life touring the country and promoting "the Ranger's Code" (or maybe it was "the Ranger's Creed") to young audiences.
Portraying superheroes as jerks may appear to be just amusement, but it may also be a deliberate attempt to isolate kids from positive role models.
