Superman portrayed as Christ

To Future Students:

I did my research paper on Superman and how he relates to Christ throughout the the film. If you are interested in Superman, I would recommend another topic about him such as;  how or why he was created, Maybe looking into the creation of Superman and how it all started, Superman was the first "superhero" and also starred in the first "comic book". Professor Hicks is also one of the best professors I have had at CSULA, dont hesitate to email her late or ask any questions for she really is there to help and wants to make sure you have what you need to succeed.
