Could've been done better but I think that the artist's intentions were sound.
Perhaps I got a little swept away by my own argument and preferred to ignore this inconvenient but valid point. Can't you put your interpretation into a spoiler or something?

I'm not sure about that Batlord, any more than any opinion that includes the word "men" or "women" is stereotyping them monolithically. People make generalisations all the time, usually with the tacit understanding that there will always be exceptions.
( Although not all people, of course; I wouldn't like to stereotype the human race as being monolithically generalisers.)
