I mention that as further evidence that the movie is equating superman to jesus who was similarly rejected by the aristocracy at the same age (at least by tradition)

Jesus couldn't fly, and he certainly wasn't invincible. And I don't think Superman is a carpenter.

Maybe he could fly and the guys writing the bible were like 'C'mon Hezekiah, we already talk about him walking on water and healing blind people. No way are they gonna buy that he could fly too. Let's try to keep this somewhat reasonable or people 2000 years from now are going to think we are crazy.'

Great point. Same could be said for Jesus' red underwear, probably.
