Superman is by far my favorite superhero of all time. Sure, Spiderman and Batman have recently had some great movies, but in my opinion, none come even remotely close to Superman. Every since I was little, I remember getting excited about the "Superman Theme." I also remember running around the house with a Superman cape, pretending to fly and kick the bad guys butts. (shouldn't be that hard to remember, it was last week) That being said, you can imagine how excited and proud I was last night whenever my wife suggested we watch Superman: The Movie before we go to bed.
I must admit, I was as excited as when I was a child, partly for the same reasons. Who doesn't enjoy seeing Superman fly around and end up putting the evil Lex Luther in jail? It wasn't until a few years back that I began to see a connection between Superman and Jesus. It turns out that the creators and those that had early creative control over Superman used him to tell the story of Jesus. The story involves a Father sending His Son to Earth to save mankind. Knowing this made it that much more fun (and gave me more excuses) to watch these classic movies. Has anyone else seen the connection between Jesus and Superman?
