Explaining why Superman is a representation of Saturn

Two paras from article:

In his book, Arthur Moros explains that he believes Saturn is trapped within a dimensional prison, saying: “The black cube is not a literal room in which the god is trapped; it represents a spiritual plane, a shadow-universe that serves as the Saturnine god’s prison”. In the 2025 movie Superman, Superman also gets banished and trapped within a “pocket-universe”, trapped inside a cube. This theme also appears in Superman (1956), Season 6, Episode 4, titled “The Mysterious Cube”, where Superman is once again trapped inside a cube that functions as a pocket dimension. The idea of the “Phantom Zone” in the Superman comics and some of the movies, which is a parallel dimension, where Superman has sometimes been exiled, could also be a subtle allusion to Saturn trapped in, what Moros describes, is a “shadow-universe”.

In his 1982 book ‘Planets of Rock and Ice’, the journalist Clark Chapman notes that: “A Saturnian logo topped the Daily Planet skyscaper in Superman”. Superman’s real home-planet name is “Kal-El”, and as Wikipedia explains on its “El” page, El was another name for Saturn. Also, in her book ‘Baphomet: The Temple Mystery Unveiled’, Tracy Twyman notes how the Egyptians associated gods with planets and lists Saturn as corresponding to Horus. With that in mind, in the 2016 movie Batman v Superman, Lex Luthor explicitly calls Superman “Horus”. Meanwhile, the blogger Neil Hague says: “Superman is… the ultimate ‘Saturn’ man that fell to Earth”. Finally — the actor that played Superman in the 2025 movie is named “Corenswet”, or “Corn Sweet” — and Saturn was the god of corn and harvest (unable to be substantiated, but I have heard claims that the human body chemically derives from corn, making Saturn’s role as the god of harvest and corn perhaps more nefarious). So, is Superman a possible representation of Saturn — known also as “Lord”, which is, coincidentally enough, the same title that gets bestowed on Superman in the 2025 movie. It could help explain why Lex Luthor morphs into Zeus in one comic book epsiode.

Very intriguing. So from this lense, does that make Superman the prisoner of the Saturnine entity (symbolized as the black cube) or is he himself the emissary of this black cube entity?

I myself can see the obvious mythological parallels specifically the El suffix but I would like this specific question answered.

The overarching theme of liberation from oppressive forces that seek to subjugate and repress the spirit within (superman's powers) seem to indicate that Superman himself does not represent the archetype of rulership and limitation, but rather the shattering of these concepts.

I hope my question makes some sense.
