(In an earlier draft, Superman was a villain. Its certainly not the case that the original point of influence was Moses)<br /><br />Unlike Jesus, Superman isn't sent to earth with a purpose other than survival (though they added more Jesus symbolism in the 78 movie)<br /><br />I don't find the fact that the Moses story has an ending particularly relavant- virtually no superhero story has an ending. Open endedness is just part of the genre. <br /><br />I don't think there's anything inherent in the original character to say he can't age, either. One imagines Lois certainly will.Pallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409693747482226529noreply@blogger.com
