Now that I think of it though, the comics evidently did a kind of mini-series based on the idea of Supermans rocket landing in the Soviet Union rather than the US. However, the whole bit about the mild mannered reporter who's forced to routinely save the day simply because no one else can, who never lies and never kills due to the good old fashioned heartland values his foster parents instilled, well, it's just so typical of our self image. Presumably, hopefully, no one's ever in danger between 9 and 11 on Sunday, or Superman might miss church. Which of course brings to the Christ parallels so numerous it's hard to track them all.
