You're right. I had forgotten about that, at least consciously. Maybe my some part of me remembered that voiceover and that was what sparked the idea for me.
Superman is not, however, without sin.
Good point. Although I hadn't explicitly thought of this with my list, it could be included under the bulleted item that Clark "was a mere mortal, with all the limitations inherent therein." In the Christian worldview, it is believed, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
"Superman doesn't lie" except that Clark lies constantly to hide who he is.
Very true.
A fascinating post, cookiesmom. Thanks! :-)
