Have you noticed how Superman was sent to Earth from his own planet to save Mankind and then he performs miracles. He then 'dies' and is born again. Doesn't this sound a lot like the story of Jesus
In the movie, he is
Stabbed in side with Kryptonite - like Jesus stabbed with spear
Empty hospital room - empty tomb of Jesus
Falls to Earth, arms outstretched - Crucifixion-like
Cradled in mother's arms - like Michelangelo's Pieta
Superman says world needs saviour
Superman's five years in space echoes the Ascension
Shown with weight of world/sin on shoulders

Nice observation, the truth is though that many Western entertainment her stries have strong echoes with Biblical imagery... Lord of the Rings... Gormenghast... Narnia... Batman... Robin Hood.....
The list is quite long and is probably a demonstration of the limits upon 'originality' of the human mind as even Biblical stories are often based on similar concepts or templates of cultural or religious tales e.g Isis and Horus (Mary and Jesus)

Yes a lot of people have commented on this along the way. I am really not a fan of what Singer did with the Superman saga the original intent when superman was created was not to parallel Jesus's life it was to create harmless fiction.

God suggested to interest, the place have been you as quickly as I placed the jewelry around Orion? yet in simple terms those days has technology got here across that Orion has jewelry. there are a number of others like this. technology is often proving issues that the Bible says. yet those interior the international that don't settle for the Bible as reality is unquestionably not swayed by using such ordinary issues as technology proving it. it quite is because of the fact if somebody does not desire to have faith it, they gained't pay attention no rely what somebody else says. somebody as quickly as advised me, 'your pals will continuously understand and beleive you, your enemies will on no account pay attention you in any respect.'

In the next movie, Superman goes back in time and beats the crap out of Jesus, so there.

I believe that Brian Singer(the director) has commented that the similarities are intentional :)
