Superman and Clark Kent

[@gracealexandre3381]

I loved how George played Clark Kent with a lot more confidence, and not constantly being clumsy like all other versions of Superman made Clark to be. George really was the best Superman!! R.I.P.

This is the best characterization of Clark Kent. He's not a wimp.

[@mlb12041998]

In the source material he isn't, it was really only the films with Christopher Reeve where he acted like that. He can be clumsy and a bit "dorky" in the comics and other adaptations but he still typically behaves like a regular dude. And the "dorky" part is what makes him endearing, at least to me.

[@jessicalillianweinberg4401]

@@mlb12041998 The 90s TV version of Clark said, "Superman is what I can do. Clark is who I am." He WAS Clark Kent (Jonathan and Martha's son) and wanted to be liked for the "real" person - which is why he didn't want to tell Lois he was Superman during the time that she was in love with Superman and dismissive of Clark (and later she actually starts to have feelings for Clark.) But on the other hand, given what we know about his powers, he obviously doesn't really need the glasses, so the only reason for choosing to wear them is to make himself look nerdier and hide the resemblance to Superman. Actually, in the 90s show it seems like he had glasses before he even started being Superman.

@@Brakdayton Lois has her suspicions pop up repeatedly, and in fact, sometimes even tried to set up situations where Clark and Superman would have to be together. And she has a dream where Superman proposes to her, and then later tells her he's Clark - so she either suspected or wanted it to be like that.

[@KutWrite]

It's suspension of disbelief. Rules of that universe. Canon and the like. Similar to the "new history" of "Inglorious Basterds" and "Pulp Fiction."

[@ECO473]

I've always thought that George's vision of Clark Kent was spot on as a guy you'd want to shoot pool with on a Saturday night. For me, it was Clark's natural, quiet confidence that showed he didn't need to do the fumbling buffoon routine to hide the fact that he was Superman. Kent's being just another guy was understated just enough that most people wouldn't connect him to Superman. Thanks to George Reeves, Clark Kent was no punk. It is heartbreaking to no end that George didn't live long enough to see how genuinely beloved he really was. I miss him.

This is a classic program, very well performed by all involved. I think one of my favorite Superman scenes is in Superman Returns, when Brandon Routh’s portrayal of Superman has him walking towards a Gatling gun, and ending with a pistol shot to his eye. No flinching or ducking … just true, superhuman abilities on display. George Reeves is still, and will always be, “Superman.” Sometimes, the writers and director get it right. And in this series, the producers, writers, and cast got it right. Thanks for the upload.

[@markmarderosian9657]

Not to be a purist by from the very beginning in the comic books, Clark Kent was portrayed as a weakling who fled from every fight. Even something mild like a gangster cutting in on Clark's dance with Lois depicted him giving in and earning her scorn. The dual character of Zorro was the same: Feign weakness to divert suspicion. And yet... somehow, some way, George Reeves made this more confident version of Clark Kent work with his easy charm and likeable manner. These episodes are a delight thanks to him and the cast.

I think that a great part of the fun of watching the Superman TV series with George Reeves was that Lois was forever wondering if Clark was Superman.......and sometimes it seemed like Lois, or Jimmy, must discover the truth, but of course they never did. I remember one episode in particular where Clark was actually forced by circumstances to reveal that he was Superman....but fortunately Professor Peperwinkle (Remember him?!) had invented a spray can of memory loss gas and he gave Lois and Jimmy a good spray and so Superman's secret was safe yet again! I never missed an episode when I was a child and I was fortunate enough to buy the complete series on DVD when they were sold off by or Local Library. Still enjoy watching them to this day.

The Clark in bed without glasses....... Jimmy (jack Larson) explained in an interview many years after the show that just after filming that scene he went to the director about seeing Clark without glasses, which was the first time on the show. Jack said the director talked to other production staff and went back and forth on how to deal with it. They thought it would be too strange for him to have the glasses on after the fall in the shower, and they loved the scene so much to cut it. In the end the director just threw up his hands and said leave it in the scene, and not talk about it.

Reeves was to the Superman role what Clayton Moore was to The Lone Ranger.excluding the original film serial portrayal which is excellent in it's own right.

To all those who ask, why can't they see Clark Kent as Superman without his glasses. That question was answered in an old Superman comic book. The mind control is almost the answer. When he looks at people through his glasses, it has a hypnotic affect on the person he looks at. They see him differently than what he really looks like. It's the effect of the lenses. They were made from the window of the spaceship that brought him to Earth. Like his costume, indestructible because it was made of the blankets he was wrapped in when he came to Earth.

[@laurencelevine3955]

Martin Pasko created that fake explanation. It was established that several people looked like Superman, Jimmy & lois. Clark was one of them.

[@christopherfranklin4760]

Manuel: I was going to provide the same information until I read your comment. There was also a time when people kept asking about how his x-ray vision could create fires. Then, DC comics just started referring to an additional power of "heat vision." When people were wondering about what he did with his Clark Kent clothes, the explanation was he compressed them and kept them in a pouch inside his cape. Over the past few years I have purchased all of the Superman Silver Age comics from October 1960 up to November 1970. I also have every Action Comic from June 1960 up to December 1970. Needless to say I had to pay far more than 10 cents, and then 12 cents per copy.

Steven, the idea is so far fetched in their minds, until they just can't conceive it.

[@johncribbsiv4934]

Hey Steven brant you look like Clancy brown (voice of lex Luthor from Superman the animated series 1996-2000) and could be his doppelgänger just like Steve Harvey is the doppelgänger of the late Richard Pryor (dead at 65,2005) cool and you're right the late George reeves and Noel Neil are the worlds best Lois lane and Clark Kent/Superman just like the recently late Margot Kidder and late Chris reeve and Brandon Routh and Kate bosworth who are still alive peace and love my friend you can comment me back whenever you get a chance asap thanks pal peace.

[@megahappy2bemeIntheStarz]

Steven Brant Yeah and unlike Chris Reeves, he acted the same as Kent as when he was Superman, no real change in attitude, voice, posture or goofiness. Sorry, but I always felt he had no interest in Lois, liked Jimmy better, in these old shows. IN that one clip I would have thought Supes was being an ass not saving Clark immediately- yeah, OK you're drowning hang on, I'll get to saving you, be patient ! - WTH.

[@luisquinones1305]

I swear that sometimes people can be so oblivious to see that Clark & Superman are 1 & the same.

[@dbentertainment9148]

I am surprised when Superman arrives that Lois says "Hahaha. Clark, where did you get that Superman outfit?"

[@rayjohnson4741]

[@onlythewise1]

ya didnt seem right he died

[@larryaldrich4351]

He didn't seem like the suicide type.

[@ryanhunter130]

Jimmy @ 5:06 was so scared for Clark’s life...thankfully Superman showed up when he did!

[@johndates9827]

Anyone notice that when the villain shots at Superman, he stands still with a grin as the bullets bounce off. When the villain runs out of ammo he throws the gun at Superman's head who then ducks out of the way.

Wow, it really HAs been a long time. I must have watched every Superman tv episode ever put out, and I don't remember these, though obviously I must have seen them (when I was maybt 7 or 8- but now I'm 71, so...)
