As Eco declares, this is impossible seeing as this would make the figure consume itself. Snyder intends simply to provide the character with another intriguing obstacle: that of a modern, hyperreal, cynical society. The hyperrealism of Zack Snyder's latest films has come to be one of the most defining traits of them. The context of these superhero movies is very much a parallel to our real world, working as a mirror to it, where post 9/11 paranoia is still real, race relations are shaky with tensions at an all time high, and an honest, yet cynical view of the fervent religious fervor that captures a significant sect of our population. While Snyder aims to give us a what if" situation of how these heroes would be received, exist and live in our own world, he at the same time refuses to stop there. He still adheres to the comic book aesthetic, perhaps more so than any other director. He refuses to apologize for the look of these heroes, forgoing the usual "functional armor" look that many cinema superheroes are chained too. No, these heroes look AND act as if they leaped from the pages of a graphic novel, and the world they leaped into is our own. By imbuing the DCEU with the most uncompromising comic book influence there is, while not disregarding the mythical traits of these characters, and at the same time grounding the characterization of these heroes within the context of our world, Zack has created one of the most hyperreal cinema concepts perhaps ever executed. The reaction of the public to these stories validates this thesis. And in a genius meta-infused gesture is depicted in the film itself as the urine jar in the Capitol hearing.

The entire idea behind the Congressional Hearing was Piss Christ. The idea of the movie in itself is Piss Christ. Snyder is completely aware of all the themes at work here, including that of a "realistic" take on Superman being detrimental to the character, moving him closer to death. Placing Superman in a real world setting -that of cynics, corruption, and apathy-is the same as placing Jesus in a jar of piss that is our contemporary society. This doubles down on the prediction that Superman's miracle of resurrection will usher in a new era for this world free from the cynicisim and 'realism' where Superman can live up to his potential. >Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne,George Pell, sought an injunction from the Supreme Court of Victoriato restrain the National Gallery of Victoria from publicly displaying Piss Christ, which was not granted.

LEX LUTHOR Lex Luthor's Painting was inspired by Gustav Dore's Illustrations for Milton's Paradise Lost. The poem begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defoated and banished to Hell, or, as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus.
