"Super" Questions
So, I saw Superman Returns today, and there are a few things about which I would like to complain. Now, I know that I should be past this by now, but why does no one recognize Clark Kent as Superman? Just because he wears a pair of glasses as Clark doesn't disguise him. If I went to school one day without my glasses on, would people not recognize me? Maybe I can be a superheroine in my spare time and no one will know it's me. I mean, even Lois Lane doesn't recognize him. She'll fall in love with Superman but won't look twice at Clark? And does no one notice that whenever Superman is around, Clark is nowhere to be found? And that when there's trouble, Clark suddenly disappears and then suddenly Superman is at the scene of the catastrophe to save the day? I guess you have to forget about that and just enjoy the story. I mean, the rest of the story isn't exactly plausible, either. I mean, when have you seen a man who can fly and hold up enormous objects with his bare hands? It would be cool, yes. But it's not exactly believable. And neither is the fact that people don't recognize Clark as Superman. So I guess I'm only splitting hairs. Although it does bother me. I can accept that Spiderman and Batman aren't recognized, because they wear masks. But Superman is right next to people, showing his face. I think if Superman were real, and I saw Clark Kent, I'd recognize him in an instant. Unless he's controlling people's brains so they won't recognize him....
