possibility. In the original 1978 movie and the new one, the
superhero’s father tells him: “They can be a great people . . .
They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all
— their capacity for good — I’ve sent them you, my only son.”
Yes, Superman is a Christ figure.

But we must discuss it, for this is where the movie displays its
impressive ambition and cunning. Earlier versions of Superman stressed
the hero’s humanity: his attachment to his Earth parents, his
country-boy clumsiness around Lois. The [director Brian] Singer
version emphasizes his divinity. He is not a super man; he is a god
(named Kal-El), sent by his heavenly father (Jor-El) to protect Earth.
That is a mission that takes more than muscles; it requires sacrifice,
perhaps of his own life. So he is no simple comic-book hunk. He is
Earth’s savior: Jesus Christ Superman. Using snippets of Marlon
Brando’s performance as Jor-El from the 1978 Superman movie, in
which Brando passes on the wisdom “The son becomes the father, and
the father becomes the son,” Singer establishes his own film’s
central relationship. It is not romantic, between Lois and Clark.
It’s familial — the bond of two sets of fathers and sons: Jor-El
and Superman, then Superman and Jason. Each parent tells his child
that he must surpass the old man’s feats, improve on Dad’s legend.
Poignantly, this strength, this divinity, isolates Superman from
Earth’s humans. He can save them but not be one of them. Lois can
love him but never understand him. The movie cogently ransacks
elements from all kinds of myths, classic and modern. Superman is the
god who fell to Earth, enduring a cycle of death and transfiguration.
And since he has sired a boy who is part human, he could be the Jesus
of the Gnostic Gospels. And Lois? Mary Magdalene!
