 As an antagonist in a limited number of Batman comics during the 90 's , Anarky was largely reserved for stories in which Grant wished to press a political point . Early incarnations of Anarky portrayed the character as an anarchist , and were intended to act as a medium for Grant 's personal meditations on political philosophy , and specifically for his own anarchist , socialist , and populist leanings . However , according to Grant , anarchists with whom he associated were hostile to his creation of the character , seeing it as an act of recuperation for commercial gain . With libertarian socialism being the primary theme of the first three storylines in the collection , other concepts explored in the stories were informed by the umbrella of anarchist theory . Anti @-@ electoralism and the tactic of non @-@ voting are the dual focuses of " Anarky : Tomorrow Belongs to Us " , while economic exploitation , environmental issues , and political corruption are repeatedly referenced in the three remaining stories .
