A new adaptation of Superman is set to hit theaters this week. The Man of Steel’s origin story, which tells the tale of an alien sent to Earth as a child and struggling to find his place, has drawn comparisons to the experiences of refugees and immigrants. This narrative thread was recently highlighted by the film’s writer and director. Meanwhile, the production’s impact on local economies is being overlooked. The filming of “Superman” in Northeast Ohio last year generated over $80 million for the region and created thousands of jobs, according to the Greater Cleveland Film Commission.
