Summary: In this episode, we'll go over the purpose of the flashbacks, see what we can learn from the classroom scene, tackle whether Clark is a thief, look at the subjectivity of Superman, explore some of the themes of the film using a parable, and finally, we discuss that infamous answer: "Maybe." We've got some very short clips from D.J. Des Jardin, Diane Lane, and Dylan Sprayberry. Maybe we raise the following questions:<br> <br> <br> * Why use flashbacks instead of a chronological structure?<br> * Is Superman a criminal?<br> * How did the editor show passage of time with the cuts?<br> * Why is Mrs. Ross visiting good for Clark's secret?<br> * How do legalism and principles differ?<br> * Will BvS feature flashbacks like MOS?<br> * How does the parable of the old and new garments apply to MOS?<br> * Why organically grow Superman from principles instead of retreading codified absolutes?<br> * What distinguishes the kids on the bus from the strangers under the overpass?<br> * Why did Jonathan say "maybe" to Clark?<br> * How does a teenage pregnancy help explain that answer?<br> * What does bar mitzvah have to do with Man of Steel?<br> <br> ...and much more!<br> <br> <a href="http://www.empireonline.com/features/man-of-steel-secrets/p13">Goyer on religious elements 1</a> <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/17/entertainment/la-et-mn-man-of-steel-christian-link-20130617">2</a> <a href="http://www.jewishjournal.com/the_ticket/item/man_of_steel_screenwriter_david_s._goyer_on_superman_and_religion">3</a><br> <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/14/showbiz/zack-snyder-man-of-steel/">Snyder on religious parallels</a><br> <a href="http://manofsteelresources.com/">WB's religious marketing</a><br> <a href="http://www.supermanhomepage.com/tv/tv.php?topic=reviews/smallville-knockout">Smallville KO Count</a><br> <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/maybe">defintion of maybe</a><br> <br> Web: <a href="http://www.manofsteelanswers.com" target="_blank">ManOfSteelAnswers.com</a><br> Twitter: <a title="@mosanswers" href="http://twitter.com/mosanswers/" target="_blank">@mosanswers</a><br> Subscribe: <a title="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/man-steel-answers-insight/id920711642" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/man-steel-answers-insight/id920711642">iTunes</a> / <a title="RSS" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ManOfSteelAnswers" target="_blank">RSS</a> / <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=54386&refid=stpr">Stitcher</a> / <a title="YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/mosanswers" target="_blank">YouTube</a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ManOfSteelAnswers" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"></a><br> Proud member of the <a href="http://www.supermanpodcastnetwork.com/">Superman Podcast Network</a>!<br> <a href="http://www.manofsteelanswers.com/mosaic/Ep13.txt">Software Generated Transcript</a>
