This weekend I watched Superman Returns and marveled at God. Although I had read commentaries that suggested that Superman was an American metaphor for Christ, not until I saw this movie did the truth jump out and kiss me square on my lips. Superman isn't Christ. Doesn't pale in comparison to him. But this movie does open up a lot of questions for me about the God who woos us, and the son that was born and adopted into this world to save it. Click here to learn more.

Huh. I watched "Superman Returns" this past weekend, and I, too, caught the allegory -- the "Superman as Christ" thing. It totally jumped out at me, espcially at the part you mentioned, about the world needing a Savior!
Thanks so much for posting on this! I'm glad I wasn't the only one that saw it like that! :o)
glad you chimed in. i was beginning to feel like a comic geek on this entry. :)
