Film
In Kevin Smith's movie, Dogma, Metatron (portrayed by Alan Rickman) introduces himself as "herald of the Almighty" and the "voice of God." Although the film portrays Metatron in a comic light (as both sardonic and vain), the character is depicted as having a close relationship to God, and superiority over other angels. Metatron expresses irritation when the main character Bethany does not recognize his name, but immediately picks up on a reference to the tenth plague.
