This reminds me of a comic that was just the opposite and everyone in Smallville knew Superman's secret identity.
The funniest thing is that they asked Superman this same question and he answered something similar to this
>Reeve's portrayal of Clark is that Clark is an embarrassment to humankind.
Yes, that's how it was in the comic back then. Clark was a nimrod. A nebbish. A Schmendrick. A mama's boy. Clark Kent was a worse milksop than Bruce Banner ever was.
Clark was the everyman, the beaten-on, and the beaten-down.
The Nerds have been strengthened in the past 30, 40 years. This world was not the one they knew then. So yes, Clark was embarrassing to you, or as you say it, 'cringe.'
forget where it was from but I remember at least one story where everyone in Smallville knew, they just kept it quiet since it was a close-knit community and Clark was one of their own
Nobody from small town nowhere is going to think that one of their town's kids grew up to be an alien superhero. Gossip will be "Oh do you remember Clark, the Kents' boy? Maybe he should be an actor and play that Superman fella in a movie!"
Superman for All Seasons had the best version of the Smallville question
The people who know don't say anything about it because it's not their damn business and the people who make everything their damn business never realize it
>how do they explain THAT?
no explanation was needed
christopher reeves simply changed his posture, his expression, took off the clark glasses, and everybody was shocked that he basically looked like a different person
we see this all the time, with celebrities able to pass through public with out being recognized because they arent wearing their usual makeup
>“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-Jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So, as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says, ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’ — and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing, and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.”
People truly don't see famous faces. They only see aura.
Because Clark Kent is a farmboy dork and Superman is... well, Superman. Like, imagine the lamest, nerdiest kid you went to school with happened to look like the world's most powerful superhero. You'd probably chalk up the resemblance as a coincidence, because would believe THAT fricking loser is actually a superhero of ANY sort?
There's also the longstanding tradition of Superman having robot doubles that fill in for him when necessary. So whenever Lois is getting wise Clark and a Superman Robot just have to be in the same place at the same time and she thinks she made a mistake.
The simplest truth that most people like you don't seem to get is that most people just won't ever think to make the connection. Random strangers might recognize him as sort of looking like the that Kent boy from way back but was just a regular person as far as they knew. Superman being, well, Superman just makes him to big and amazing to have anyone consider that anyone normal might be the same guy.
Right? Luthor think's about the big blue boyscout CONSTANTLY and can't recognize him when he's right in front of him. And it's not because of a disguise. It's because, and this isn't even Lex's cynicism, it's just too unreal for the person they know to be Superman. He could ditch the glasses entirely and still nobody would consider it. You ever see a cartoon where the superhero has to dress up as themselves for a Halloween party? Everyone sees through even the masked ones IMMEDIATELY because it's a normal situation they can process.
It's even funnier because in the Byrne-era stories, all his friends from Smallville ask why he's wearing glasses now whenever they see him. So they explain that Superman is always vibrating his head slightly whenever he's photographed so no one can get a clear picture. But he does make public appearances in Smallville as Superman so yeah it's a wonder no one else put two and two together except Lana
Yeah, also in the Byrne comics he tries to project the image that he's Superman 24/7. Since he doesn't wear a mask, there's no reason for most people to think he would even have a civilian identity.
Because DC civilians are incredibly stupid. They could somehow guess Batman's identity while staring at his photo but couldn't figure out who Superman is.
You’re just using a MoS image to implicitly hate on the film like too many others despite the fact that this could be said about innumerable other Superman stories.
Furthermore, it shows you DIDN’T actually watch the film because Smallville never sees Clark when he’s older except for very, very brief instances; those customers in iHOP — and who’s to say aside from the bully-turned-friend that any of them would know who Clark is?
You fools have been hating these films for years and all your baseless points prove is that you’ve never actually watched them, or that you have but intentionally lie about what happens.
Cavill didn't get recognized in public either, while wearing a Superman shirt

nobody saw his movies tho
Who is that guy supposed to be?
I think it's Wonder Man?
I don't know what you're trying to prove by posting two different people.
Bro for most of them it's been like 12 years.
Superman is balding
Snyder forgot that Clark actually carries himself differently compared to Superman.
And he was right to do so. the goofy ass nerd "acting" from Reeve is cringe.
Next time you cross the street don't bother looking both ways.

Superman has a secret power that makes it so people don't recognize his face, I forgot what it was called but it was something long

In Snyder's case it's mostly because Clark is an afterthought. A non entity.
But also because his Superman is more of a plot device than a character.
Suspension of disbelief.
Nobody in my hometown would recognize me if I moved to a big city and got famous.
Zooey sexo
>Women
>Fakeup
Flyovers are moronic

hello sir
>nobody from Smallville recognizes Clark (without a disguise) is Superman
>how do they explain THAT?
One of his powers is "induced prosopagnosia".
