Devils advocate response: He's not wrong that they are for children/teens. Perhaps there is something telling about our culture by the kind of movies we prop up?

Full response: While he is correct that comic book superheroes were intended to be for children, movies tend to be made for a general audience. And no matter which generation, every body looks back at what they enjoyed as children for any reason from nostalgia to it being the foundation of their character as an adult. A good source of media is a media that can cross demographic barriers. Children's media should not only inspire but appeal to a more general audience as their parents are usually exposed to the media as well, and the child should be challenged of their world view and to think constructively. Superhero comics should serve as needed drama, action, moral ambiguity, and creative liberty that a child can reflect upon not only as a child but once one reaches adulthood as well. And with films made for a more general audience, yes how the topics are handled tend to be more juvenile, still can appeal to adults who appreciate the message far more that what a child can comprehend.

His comments are no less hypocritical, coming from a man who wrote the adult comics Watchmen, and V For Vendetta. His further comments become political so I'll refrain from stating too much, but to address it shortly, all media tends to be regional. If the region is of a majority ethnic group, then the majority of the media from that region reflects that. That by no means is there some kind of conspiracy for a particular ethnic supremacy.
