Not the Man of Steel

I was shocked to see this article http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/14/film.supermanchristfigure.ap/index.html on CNN.com this morning.

Haven't evangelical Christians staked their claim on enough? Why is it that any story that involves someone returning after a long absence or someone's father sending him somewhere to help is obviously a Christian allegory. Oh, and anyone who can't see that is clearly a moron.

Best part of the Superman one is that Superman was created by two Jews. It was originally intended as a metaphor for the isolation and duality of being a Jew in America in the late '30s and early '40s. Now, it's being claimed as a Christ tale? Isn't this just what the creators were commenting on?
