    Superman doesn't control the Oscars.

    Actually Jerry Siegel an Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman were both Jewish. Superman's origin story of being sent to be raised by other parents has much in common with the story of Moses also. It doesn't seem unusual to me then he would be considered Jewish.

    It's just a bit of fun, that article. Though I did hear the Kal-El = Hebrew "Voice of God" story before. I doubt that Kal-El was circumcised, since the knife that could get through that foreskin probably doesn't exist even on Krypton.

    I wonder whether the new movie shows what happens when young Clark discovers masturbation? His bedroom ceiling must look like a huge slice of Emmental cheese. If he and Lois Lane ever get it on, can you imagine the carnage he would wreak on her frail body? (More on this topic here: Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.) :eek:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Yep old news that he has jewish influences...the bulletproof aspect comes from either Siegal or Shusters father being shot during a store robbery. The book of Lies gives a good insight into his history.

    As a baby on his home planet superman is normal.

    It's a bit of fun. Ludicrous thinking of an ET having an Earth religion.

    I don't think so.

    He went back in time to save Lois Lane.
    Didn't go back to kill Hitler.

    I think Clarke Kent is an Eastern Orthodox Jew. But Superman is a methodist.

    Lois Lane is a member of the Cargo Cult.
