The Strangers: Theme Kit
Superman meets a cult of followers and their analagous cynicism advocates.
The Man of Steel could always use a good fan base, but it seems such stories draw attention to a modern age fantasy storytelling theme trend: The Strangers.
If you've seen the Liv Tyler Hollywood (USA) movie "The Strangers" (2008), you may have noticed that the motion picture industry has always paid artistic attention to suspense-themed movie-story ideas about unanticipated visitors or uncomfortable events.
Well, this theme goes back to original versions of "The Fly" (Jeff Goldblum) and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (Donald Sutherland): can we use sociology to explain the unanticipated uncertainty associated with 'mob psychology outbreaks?'
While Batman (DC Comics) and Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) seem to rely more heavily on press support and mob support, Superman (DC Comics) certainly benefits from reduced threats from the masses or even from underground cults.
As a fan of Green Arrow (DC Comics), I like linking the super-archer to Robin Hood. Certainly, Superman wouldn't mind if a cult praised his deeds (as long as the Man of Steel can shield them from strange forays).
