There weren’t that many superheroes in the 40s. And not all comics come from America, most of Europe has a comic tradition, but we don’t read those over here. Of course if you’re going to talk roots you need to remember that Batman is really just a ripoff of Zorro.

Batman was explictedly drawn (by his Jewish creator) from the Go’el Haddam, the Avenger of the Blood — the Next of Kin whose mitzva it was to avenge the murder of his family.

Zorro was a 20th century creation for pulp magazines. There is no connection to any Spanish/colonial tradition.
