Frederic Wertham published Seduction of the Innocent in 1954. It was at best a reaction to McCarthyism and its like and at worst low-grade, fear induced, pop psychology. As well as stating the Homoerotic tendencies of Batman, it took Wonder Woman to task for bondage, submission, and sexual perversion(not that WW's creator William Moulton Marston was psycho-sexually pure).
The Seduction of the Innocent can basically be viewed in context to its age of nascence. Where psychology and psychiatry is today is literally and figuratively years beyond where it was then. It was an academic approach to dealing with fear and trying to explain it. It was a suspicion of youth culture as comes every generation. They dug much deeper than they needed to. Comics were meant to inspire and entertain. End of epilogue.
