John Lennon as Superman?

Today, in limited release (New York and LA), The U.S. vs John Lennon documentary opens, detailing the Beatle's struggle with the US government not to get deported back to England, as he promoted peace during the Vietnam War. In an article promoting the film, Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, compares her late husband to a superhero.

The struggle that he went through confronting these big powers, it's almost like a very interesting Superman kind of thing -- bad against good.
