It was always kind of there. His name is Kal-el (voice of God) and I think the creators specifically connected him to Moses. He's always been connected to religious symbolism.
It is interesting the link up being set up in the new Superman movie between Superman and the Messiah.
‘Because of [the people of Earth's] capacity for good, I have sent them you …my only son’,” – Marlon Brando as the father of Superman
When the anti christ comes he will be convincing people he is the Messiah by doing superhuman feats, Someone wants to start linking super human feats with the Messiah now.
The inventers of Superman was Jewish. It reflects more the Jewish understanding of Messiah.
And as you should know, they reject the Christian version of Messiah.
If you want to be alarmist and be scared about Superheros, how about you look up how Wonder Woman was invented. That will be enough to have most of the conservatives here losing sleep. LOL
So Superman pictures the Messiah... hmmm.
Does this mean that when Jesus comes back he'll be wearing tights?
I'm kinda struggling with this.
: )
If they are saying man is basically good isn't that a form of Pelagianism?
*sigh* Why can't people enjoy thigs for what they are? Superman was a comic book made for kids to read and show that no matter how much bad there is you should always fight for the good. Same with Batman, Flash, Robin, X-Men, Daredevil, etc. It seems you can't have anything without someone comparing it in some twisted way. Any book/movie that has a hero can be compared to Jesus conquering evil. SMH lol
