  We examine the high energy (Regge) limit of gravitational scattering using a
Wilson line approach previously used in the context of non-Abelian gauge
theories. Our aim is to clarify the nature of the Reggeization of the graviton
and the interplay between this Reggeization and the so-called eikonal phase
which determines the spectrum of gravitational bound states. Furthermore, we
discuss finite corrections to this picture. Our results are of relevance to
various supergravity theories, and also help to clarify the relationship
between gauge and gravity theories.
