Commercial or Deeper Meaning?

Today in class before we had our screening the question was brought up of "Are our super hero films and TV shows focused on the commercial side or do they have a deeper meaning?" This really had me thinking and I actually think it's both. If I had to chose one it'd probably be the commercial side. However, even when just focusing on the commercial side of things I believe that the writers of these shows and movies still subconsciously add a deeper meaning. Quentin Tarantino actually talks about this in an interview. When he writes it's always about the text, but he knows that he's subconsciously writing a story with some sort of deeper meaning. I feel like I'm going off track, but bottom line, I think that Super Hero films and television shows are both money driven, but also have a deeper meaning in them.
Heres a cool video where a guy talks about the deeper meaning behind the Batman of the animated series. Really cool and very emotional.
