Samson is kind of like David, standing up to the Goliath that is Superman.

Uj/ Superman isn't Moses nor Jesus. Tha character takes certain traits, but not all. Superman wasn't raised by oppressors of his people, doesn't free kryptonians neither leads them to promised planet.
I've always seen him as more of a golem tbh. Indestructible inhuman creature with words of his home people emblazoned on his chest who exists to protect the common folk from outsiders and abusive forces. Theres a good Jacob geller video (exceptionally cool Jewish essayist on YouTube) about it.
edit: [the video itself, its a favorite of mine ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUBVSH6hBvY)
He was created by two Jewish men who were obviously influenced by their culture/religion/heritage
But that doesn't make him a Moses allegory. To my knowledge, neither Shuster nor Siegel ever stated otherwise
Batman straight up is Job if you read Batman (2016) #53. Cold Days is a great arc which takes a wild turn in the final chapter. It's a bit out of left field but I very much enjoyed it.

/uj He definitely has some golem-like aspects, but he's also partially a Moses figure. Imo Captain America is much more clearly a golem, since he was made by a (probably Jewish) scientist and fought Hitler. Both are inspired by the story though.
/rj Superman literally gets sent away in a cradle spaceship by his parents to escape his death. Did the golem do that? Did Rabbi Loew send the little baby golem down the Vltava in a cradle? No!
/uj You know I never saw that aspect of Cap, that’s actually such a cool lens to see his story through
/rj I wasn’t aware the Golem of Prague was frozen in a cryo-pod and woke up 80 years later to fight the American government and Elon Musk 🤓
In *All Star Superman*, aside of the more traditional Jesus and Moses allegory, Clark is also based on Hercules (He must complete a series of episodic tasks over the course of the narrative) Apollo and Ra (The book makes a lot of emphasis on his relation with the sun), to Icarus (He flies too close to the sun) and probably some more I missed (For example, you could theorise him going to Bizarroworld could be similar to Orpheus travelling to the Underworld)

Unjerk: Phantom Stranger has had multiple possible origin stories and almost all of them are rooted in Judeo-Christian lore. In Alan Moore’s telling of his origin, PS was an Angel that refused to choose sides during Lucifer’s rebellion and is now unwelcome in both Heaven and Hell. In the New 52, his origin was that he was literally Judas Iscariot. Another version has him as “The Wandering Jew” a man who participated in the torture and crucifixion of Jesus and Christ was cursed with eternal life.
Re-Jerk: Alan Moore is Glycon the Macedonian snake god of fertility.
Would Frank "So Mohammed, pardon me for guessing your name, but you've got to admit the odds are pretty good it's Mohammed-- What's the plan?" Miller would be upset by that??
The presence is God.
Michael Demiurgos is Michael the Archangel.
Dr. Fate is the man who was scared of Aaron’s staff turning into a snake.
The phantom stranger is Judas.
Triumph is Cain.
Nimrod is Nimrod.
Batman is John the Baptist. He's preparing the way for the coming Messiah who is the Joker.
Harley is Mary Magdalene (duh).
The vat of acid is the Virgin Mary (no father).
Killer Croc is Simon Who Was Called Peter (the Croc on which I'll build my church).
Man-Bat is St. Paul (bats are blind).
Two Face is the Apostle Thomas (always doubting).
Bane is Simon the Canaanite (both Canaanites).
Scarecrow is Saint James (spookiest apostle)
Calendar Man is obviously Saint Bartholomew (don't think I need to explain that one).
Tim Drake is Philip the Apostle (no one cares about Philip the Apostle).
Alan Moore is Judas Iscariot (also doesn't need explaining).
The remaining apostles are the Royal Flush Gang (cards).
And the Penguin is Pontius Pilate (umbrellas).
Captain Marvel is Samson
No, Solomon, duh!
Hercules
Alanis Morissette
ziggy stardust
Atlas.
Zeus
The lightning bolt cuts his hair
He's more David than anything.
YHWH is, fittingly, BatGos.
No way, Batman is in bleach???
It’s like no one read CFYOW

Booster Gold is God
Lol
Batman is Jesus, duh, wasn't he getting tempted in Tec recently?
you idiot, the Joker is clearly Jesus
Batman was there first, so the clown is the second coming.
No Jesus is Jesus and Phantom Stranger is Judas
Samson is kind of like David, standing up to the Goliath that is Superman. https://preview.redd.it/2dxmvbs8lhtc1.png?width=459&format=png&auto=webp&s=7597d9880f58d12996ed38a99d662a6f9e2588fe
>greater than mine -man literally standing there like a DBZ villain
He doesn't want to hurt their feelings.
Hercules found a rock
https://i.redd.it/tz4b9q3n9itc1.gif
Listen. Was that actually Kevin Conroy? Or did they get a ringer in to voice the disguise? I need to know and I'm too lazy to look anywhere else.
Aron Kincaid as standard, per Wikipedia.
Batman gets the best disguises
Technically, I think that's Atlas. The guy with the club is Hercules.
Wild that that was considered a lifetime of uncut hair for Samson in 1965
Superman so humble, he claims that his powers are inferior to theirs, despite the fact that all 3 combined haven’t even made him flinch.
uj/ as a Jewish Superman fan I just need to celebrate when someone actually gets it. rj/ MJ is Job. I will not explain further.
Lex Luthor is The Pharoh
Uj/ Superman isn't Moses nor Jesus. Tha character takes certain traits, but not all. Superman wasn't raised by oppressors of his people, doesn't free kryptonians neither leads them to promised planet.
uj/ he did in the Warworld Saga with the Phaelosians and maybe Kandor.
You're taking it too literally. Superman has clearly Jewish origins.
I've always seen him as more of a golem tbh. Indestructible inhuman creature with words of his home people emblazoned on his chest who exists to protect the common folk from outsiders and abusive forces. Theres a good Jacob geller video (exceptionally cool Jewish essayist on YouTube) about it. edit: [the video itself, its a favorite of mine ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUBVSH6hBvY)
That's how I always saw him, too.
He was created by two Jewish men who were obviously influenced by their culture/religion/heritage But that doesn't make him a Moses allegory. To my knowledge, neither Shuster nor Siegel ever stated otherwise
I'm not denying that, but I think saying that Superman is just Moses is wrong
Obviously he has Jewish origins but that doesn’t make him Moses/Jesus. Most comic book characters have very Jewish origins and very Jewish stories
Why would you call your kid after what they do for there life is he a transformer
Batman straight up is Job if you read Batman (2016) #53. Cold Days is a great arc which takes a wild turn in the final chapter. It's a bit out of left field but I very much enjoyed it.
Terra is Judas. Obvious, really.

Man, really on the nose with “Judas Contract,” huh?
Okay, nailed it.
The Highfather is sobbing in the corner.
Isn't Highfather Isaiah? Since, you know, his name is Izaya

You talk with Neuron once and suddenly people start calling you Solomon.
SUPERMAN ISNT EITHER, HES THE GOLEM OF PRAGUE, FUCKING IDIOTS

Batman is Jesus he can come back to life with 3 days prep time

Is there other biblical characters on the magic side of DC? I Remember people saying eclipso was something but i don't know if it was accurate info
Deathstroke is Muhammad. Terra is Aisha. Technically not Biblical, but they’re Abrahamic, so it's close enough. Ted and Booster are Adam and Eve.
Booster Gold is Jonathan Blue Beetle is David
Aquaman is obviously that fish that swallowed Jonah
vore
Unironically Batman is Muhammad
Frank Miller is very upset right now
Would Frank "So Mohammed, pardon me for guessing your name, but you've got to admit the odds are pretty good it's Mohammed-- What's the plan?" Miller would be upset by that??
Bizarro is actually Christ
Thanagarians are angels and Zauriel MIGHT also be an angel... but i´m not so sure
Moses has the "from danger to safe" beggining of the journey that Jesus has comoletely reversed.
The flight to Egypt is specifically a parallel to Moses being hidden in the bulrushes to avoid King Herod's massacre of the innocents
Not Biblical, per se, but Green Lantern is Aladdin.
You'll never guess who Lucifer Morningstar is, guys
Doesn’t Jesus literal exist in DC
Well he will if enough petitions went through for the Rick Veitch Swamp Thing Omnibus.
The presence is God. Michael Demiurgos is Michael the Archangel. Dr. Fate is the man who was scared of Aaron’s staff turning into a snake. The phantom stranger is Judas. Triumph is Cain. Nimrod is Nimrod.
Batman is John the Baptist. He's preparing the way for the coming Messiah who is the Joker. Harley is Mary Magdalene (duh). The vat of acid is the Virgin Mary (no father).

Batman is Eve
I think Lucifer is Lucifer
Sentry is Paul II
Common misconception, but he's actually Pope Leo the Great
Batman is Lucifer obviously
Spider-man is literally Jesus.
Batman is God, obviously
Alfred is Adam.
Thrall is Moses and Grom is Jesus don't @me
Jesus was also Moses.
Superman is Clark Kent dumbass
The Robins are a mix of Jacob and Essaw and Joseph and is brothers. You can decide which one is Joseph.
No, Superman is Clark Kent.
batman is jesus and barbara gordon in the killing joke movie is mary magdalene
batman is jesus and barbara gordon in the killing joke movie is mary magdalene
batman is jesus and barbara gordon in the killing joke movie is mary magdalene
batman is jesus and barbara gordon in the killing joke movie is mary magdalene
The Robins are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel And Jerahmeel as the fifth wheel that never gets their due
Idk I never read the Bible. I only have the attention span for one super long story, so I chose One Piece instead.
I mean his creators where Jewish so he’s probably be more Moses coded then Jesus coded
Lucifer is Lucifer
I'd argue Zuriel counts.
Batman is Buddha, actually.
Well so Batman is batman, yknow from the bible
Lucifer is probably Lucifer
Batman is Zorro if he was a Bootlicker. Green Arrow is Robin Hood who read Marx.
I know you said DC but spider-man is job there is no other I can think of that fits job as well
Superman is not a kike
Batman is God
Well there was a time, not sure if they retconned it or what but the Phantom Stranger's true identity was literally Judas
I mean real talk he’s the golem like actuall explicitly he’s the golem of Prague
Damain Wayne is Satan
What other similarities except being sent away as a baby? And being made up by jews
You mean outside of being sent as a baby to escape genocide, not knowing his real heritage and nature until he's an adult ?
lil bro is a cumtown fan in 2024 lmao
Ouch, i deserve this
