Some see Superman Returns as Jesus Christ?
Superman Returns is coming to theaters starting June 28th. Previews for the movie show the hero with his eyes closed as the voice of his father tells him he was sent to Earth because humans “lack the light to show the way. For this reason I have sent them you, my only son.”
Before being kidnapped by villain Lex Luthor, Lois Lane assures Superman in another preview, “The world doesn’t need a savior, and neither do I.” Lex Luthor says, “Gods are selfish beings who fly around in little red capes and don’t share their power with mankind.”
But Superman Returns director Bryan Singer, who is Jewish, says the notion of Superman as a Christ figure is simply another case of contemporary storytelling borrowing from ancient motifs.
