People are stupid.

But for Superman, I also wonder how many people never actually saw Superman up close and personal. He was too busy flying through the air, moving faster than a bullet, etc. I would wager even without the glasses, most people in Metropolis wouldn't recognize him if he wasnt in his red & blue costume.

True story. Wore glasses all through elementary and middle school. On 8th grade basketball team and wore glasses to practice. Caught an elbow and smashed them.

Next few days at school started getting attention from girls who thought I was a new kid.

I wear glasses every day during work, but it's a lighter prescription, so I can get by without them.

I forgot to put them on one morning, so when I walked into my office, my whole team immediately said how "different" I looked. No one clarified if it was a good or bad different.

Someone please explain how this could happen.


It was a movie. Do you think movies depict real life?

Well, the original superman would stand there, while the bad guy shot him, and the bullets bounced off.
But once the bad guy ran out of bullets, and then threw the gun at him, superman would duck out of the way.

When you assert dominance you can get away with anything.

Same reason good looking women in the movies/TV are considered nerds if they wear dorky clothes and glasses? Yeah i couldnt tell she was hot until she removed the glasses.

Clark Kent wore glasses and not even Lois Lane recognized him as Superman. Are you telling me a simple pair of eyeglasses is the greatest disguise of all time?


That’s the part of the story you find unbelievable?

That’s not all he did as others have said. He slouches his shoulders and changes his gait.

He can fly and has x-ray vision, but this is the part you just can't believe?

I think he slouches when he's Clark, too.

Bullets bouncing off of you is a cool look. A gun bouncing off your noggin is just embarrassing.
