i did think it was kinda interesting that in one breath the movie was likening him to jesus and then in the next breath he's seen savagely breaking someone's neck.
was that there way of saying superman ISN'T jesus? that he's still only human?
or is it not even that deep and they just wanted to give the climax a very loud and definite conclusion.
either way, it wasn't very well executed and i hope that it is not a major plot device moving forward into BVS. but sadly i'm thinking it may.
Jesus killed some people in some of the lost books just to show that he could revive them
Not a coincidence a lot of the things that "humanized" him were left out of the final edits.
