Superman and Clark Kent

[@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.

[@donmcc6573]

Looking right at Clark without his glasses on, and no one recognizes Superman.

How and why would Superman pretend to be a regular Joe like Clark Kent? He's basically a god. Clark and Superman just happen to look similar. Irony aside, the glasses actually work. Henry Cavill sat on a park bench all day in a Superman logo T-shirt, in front of a Superman movie billboard, in the middle of Time's Square, and NO ONE said anything. He was approached by one little old lady asking for directions and that is it.

@@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.

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.

One of the unique features of The Adventures of Superman was the portrayal of Clark Kent as the hard-hitting crime-beat reporter who hung out with the chief of police, rather than the ineffective character in the comics (and later portrayals). This worked for the series because Clark was on stage much more of the time than Superman was - itself a wise decision. Save Superman for the special times he's needed.

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.

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.

The Batman in many ways I've always felt that George Reeves was the best Superman. Granted one can argue that he was a little old for the role, and he wasn't the "perfect physical specimen that some of the Supermen were. The special effects were primitive, and the later plots were poorly written. But George Reeves simply carried himself in such a way, with an underlying self-confidence, that he was completely believable both as Clark and Superman. Few other Superman actors were able to strike that balance.

[@ManuelDiaz-on7tg]

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.

LOL at 3:14 you can see the whole crew reflected in the car. Love this stuff!

[@hemipower3308]

SpockBoy How in the world did you notice that ?

[@markreeter6227]

Good wax job!

[@A1ewing]

Lol I never noticed that.

[@02chevyguy]

A 1953 Nash Rambler Convertible Landau. From 1951-1954, they used Nash cars. In 1955, they switched to Chrysler

[@johnetheridge5833]

As many times I've seen this episode over 50 of my 59 years how can they not see superman in clark's bed.

[@phyllishammond9886]

George Reeves was the only superman I knew since I was growing up in the early 1960's, and there will never be another superman and there will never be another George Reeves who played superman until his death in 1959, R.I.P. George Reeves and all the actor's who played on the adventures of superman, god bless there souls. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

5:17 Every time this scene comes on, my heart leaps.

[@Artisan1979]

If the three of them cannot recognize Superman without the glasses, then the city is in worse shape than Clark even realizes

[@musicfan8048]

coz he didn't hav his Superman costume on lol

[@musicfan8048]

and if he had glasses on and his costume on would they think he was Clark or Superman lol

[@evelynbeveraggi8724]

Love when ladies dress so nice..

[@beckylawler2768]

Great scenes. 👍

[@jw-mr4vl]

Isn't it odd that after Clark walked the plank Superman showed up in a dry costume.

My ex-wife had amnesia for 24 hours after a bicycle accident. It's a real thing. That was my chance to leave, haha. She had no idea who I was. I had to keep her awake for 24 hours. We talked. I'd explain who I was and she would be like, "Hmm, ok, but are you sure?". Then 10 mins later she would say, "Do we know each other?" The nurse said she would get her memory back in 24 hours. It was hard to believe but she was right. So strange.

[@scottloveday8598]

George Reeves was the best Superman, so much like the comic books especially this particular episode,, love the look on George Reeves face when he knocked the Bell off the strongman Sledgehammer strength test. This particular show at the circus could have been in Adventures of Superman comic book.

[@Brace67]

As a kid watching "The Adventures of Superman" it never occurred to me that wooden belaying pins on the pirate ship could be twisted into handcuffs by Superman as if they were metal. Did neither Lois or Jimmy ever see the remarkable resemblance between Clark Kent and Superman? No, not ever. Noel Neill remarked that if everyone wanted to keep their jobs nobody would ever notice.

[@BatMite19]

I had no idea he took his glasses off so much in that show!

[@ayottedrums2]

So Kent is NOT wearing his glasses yet no one recognizes him DOH !!!!!!

[@iamalive.1255]

I know right?

[@johnmoran1317]

fred-hahaha--that whole plot was so ridiculous that it was funny.. and"great caesar's ghost".. Hahahaha

[@allanmayorgacordonrafael4881]

The hat is protecting him

[@kevinpyne5808]

They thought we were stupid I guess.

[@theclephane2914]

It is a fictional show and KIDS were watching it not adults! We loved and and we knew they should be able to see Clark is Superman but we knew it was all for fun just like, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Top Cat, and all the Looney Tune cartoons! Enjoy!

[@user-hx4jo6cy3l]

WHEN CK TAKE OFF HIS GLASSES IN FRONT OF L.L. SHE'S CAN'T TELL IT'S SM.😂😂😂😂

[@hemipower3308]

Today he would be known as Superperson.

[@bingcherry1122]

If I am not mistaken the Little Rascals also had a battle with that Pirate Captain too!!! Lol!!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@pasqualeporpora]

Everyone always says that Lois must be really stupid because she can't see through Clark's glasses that he's Superman. Hell, she can't even see it when he's not wearing glasses.
