Any here into Star trek or Superman then?

I know Superman only from movies and TV, but I've seen all the Trek except the Abrams and post items.
Hello YeshuaFan and LearningToLetGo;
As kids my Mom would go the Air Force Base Exchange each week and buy comic books - Superman, Batman, Archie, Beetle Bailey, etc...
We followed Superman and Batman comics and let our imaginations run wild. My Dad was a Star Trek fan and would watch their marathons on TV.
In 1979 the first Star Trek movie came out starring all the original characters. I thought it was 1974.
In 1978 I was at the movies with a date and they showed the previews of Superman starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty...You could hear chuckles from the audience at the thought of a Superman movie. Personally, I enjoyed it!

That movie certainly seemed to be presenting that Superman as Jesus in tights, as a visitor from heaven, sent by His father, to be the light to humanity, with powers far beyond mortal men
I do admire the moral lesson of Superman, i.e. a man of infinite power who uses it to serve rather than rule.
