Superman, you’re not the boss of me
The new Man of Steel trailer is interesting. I do enjoy a good origin story – endless reboots are no problem for me, as long as each one is fresh. But Jor-El’s instructions to his son to go out and be Jesus to the poor benighted heathens who aren’t as awesome as he is…

The trailer made me sympathetic with Lex Luthor’s point of view that Superman is a dangerous alien invader who wants to impose his terrible will on the people of Earth. Mind you, I’m already fairly sympathetic to Lex. He’s a great character.
