Superman refers to himself as a saviour superman was written as well as being created by two Jewish authors, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman and his father's Kryptonian names both end in the Hebrew name for God, Kal-El and Jor-El, and that Superman's departure from Krypton can be taken as an echo of the story of Moses' childhood. and of course, "superman returns" |

Scripture tells of Jesus saying that he is in the Father, and the Father is in him. interesting how the two can be so related. was it done this way on purpose? perhaps by using comic and comic characters, the child mind can be controlled at earlier ages? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 126878 Panama 08/05/2006 01:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another thing that's been discussed extensively in comic book circles is Superman's inability to have any offspring with a human (and even whether or not he's capable of having sex with a human woman without killing her -- though that's a subject I won't be going into). So, Superman has been this squeaky-clean, childless, "messianic type" for a very long time, and TPTB understand that many people view Superman as a "type of Christ" without consciously realizing it. Now, what have TPTB done to Superman? They have tarnished him (especially on the TV show "Smallville", sheesh, that Superman does "drugs", robs banks, and kills people). AND, immediately after the movie "The Da Vinci Code" came out, all of a sudden we're presented with a Superman who has a son with a human woman. I found this portion of the article to be most interesting: "And Mervyn Roberts, a broadcaster and Anglican vicar, says although he has not seen the movie it is unlikely to be blasphemous or be difficult for a Church that has largely shrugged off the Da Vinci Code." But, what Mervyn Roberts does not realize is that "Superman Returns" reinforces "The Da Vinci Code", and does it much more subtly and even on a subconscious level. |

NO COMPROMISE / NO SUBSTITUTES User ID: 89397 Japan 08/05/2006 03:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yah and back in 1977 ppl were comparing STAR WARS to christianity till future stories/movies more and more revealed the pantheism ideals behind the movie if it aint the real deal, its no deal i believe GOD can use any or all things to reach any one ... but this over usage of using media to catch the eye of a bored person to "join the flock" is really not biblical IMHO for salvation keep your eyes OFF icons/idols (and project blue beam!) and onto the real thing! ONE way - not many & btw hehe thx for the spoilers - being in JP means i wont see this movie till it hits rent (not going to pay $20 to see a movie at a theatre that takes me $5 & 1 hr on a train to go see ... then to top it off see it in JP language) -- but for the sake of watching a possibly good movie, i will rent it -- but bible comparisons ended for me when i was a teen and made that mistake with Star Wars |
