There were three things that led to this video. First, I just happened to see Jesus Christ, Superstar on the Sundance channel a few months ago.

Second, I remembered a comment I read from one of the PTBs at Smallville. He said that one of differences between the Superman movies and Smallville is that in the movies, Superman is the real person and Clark Kent is a disguise he puts on, whereas in Smallville, Clark is the real person.

Third, I remembered the episode with the kid who could see how people would die when he touched them. When he touched Clark, all he saw was the Superman cape fluttering in the wind. Some people said that meant that Clark would never die because he's Superman. I thought, perhaps it means that Clark Kent has give up his life in order for Superman to live.

This video goes along with canon. I've used clips from Smallville and from the various Superman movies.

Thanks to my wonderful betas, mkitty_03, euphony_m and talitha78. Your comments, suggestions and support help me to be a better vidder. *hugs*

I hope you enjoy it!

The video was great! An awesome job!
I love the song; it's perfect for the vid. I'd have preferred the version by Ted Neely, but nevertheless it goes perfectly with the clips you chose. The concept, the editing..., everything was just amazing!

Thanks Roxy for reccing it and thanks capnzebbie for this outstanding, moving, superb video!

Thank you! I appreciate the compliments! *ggg* One of my betas said she preferred the Ted Neely version as well, but this is the version I hear in my head, because we had this on vinyl when I was a kid, back before the movie had even been made. We listened to it over and over, so it's imprinted in my brain from long ago.
