To answer your question simply, it would be a maybe. I don't think the topic as put forth would be enough for me to attend. What would matter more than just comparing Christ to Superman would be the content and/or approach.
For example, if you were to compare many different 20th century notions of "superman", for example, including the Nietzschean Ubermensch, Dostoevsky's Idiot, Jerry Siegel's Superman, etc to Christ then I would be interested.
But if it was just "Superman saved people ergo, ipso facto, Christos" then I wouldn't attend. Latin or not.
