i like that it's a continuous process.... i want CK/Supes to make mistakes and learn from them and grow alongside the franchise. I don't want a perfect goody two shoes type of hero because that doesnt work anymore. That's something that i loved from TAS, the fact that they didnt just jump right to his morally righteous side but that they allowed it to grow and made him make mistakes and be a little arrogant as all teens are, especially after losing a loved one. So at the end of the day i think that, even after the careful consideration of SNyder's words, i do get where he's coming from and agree with it wholeheartedly...process beats instant gratification and the journey beats the destination

If they're trying to take on a realistic approach to Superman which they keep saying they're going to do. How in the world is even possible for him to have the alter ego of Clark. Because if they're going for realism that glasses disguise simply cannot work LOL. I mean it was already the worst disguise ever, but if you want to be realistic it's even more ludicrous.

Clark Kent's glasses are Batman's batarang.

Warby Parker, a glasses company, as Man of Steel inspired glasses and promotion going on: http://www.warbyparker.com/man-of-steel/men

So I think we'll see glasses.

Getting Clark Kent right is as important as getting Superman right. You can skimp on just about any 'true identity' from comics when doing a film except CK, Peter Parker, and maybe Bruce Wayne, but on film BW always seems to take a back seat eventually. I have to wonder why any director would not want to fully realize CK. Not as much of a bumbler as Chris Reeve played him, certainly, but he's got to be there to show Supes can be more than human but still one of us.

Clark's face will just be too recognizable to hide in plain sight after battling Zod's forces in the era of the Internet and cell phone cameras. Also, how could he realistically hide the Superman outfit under civilian clothes?

Maybe the new daily planet Clark will be a jerk so that nobody suspects this selfish dude is actually this selfless hero. Or maybe he pretends to be a wuss w/ soft feelings so that nobody suspects he's this uber macho dude. Either way, the need angle is outdated.

To clarify, not a problem with the approach, just concerned he won't have the time to develop CK if without CK it comes off as concentrating too much on Supes and lacks character... something Snyder is familiar with.

they should have him act like a latino ... then that would throw the scent off.

@ClarkKent420: which is wrong on a simple fact: he may be alien but he was brought up by very terrestrial parents since he was a toddler, the man behind the "mask" is neither clark nor superman but something in-between, they are both faces of his own personality.

The Comics have always stated that Clark Kent is the character/person. Superman is just a costume and persona that he becomes. Yes it's a shout out to his roots etc. but he was raised a farm boy, and feels isolated.

Conversely Batman is the character/person. Bruce Wayne pretty much died the same night his parents did. He is batman 24/7 with the costume on or not.

Clark is cooler using his powers, but you need to see him as a regular person, with more abilities.

@ Supercat

I always thought that until I read a Batman comic where he was saying that Clark was easier to hide his secret identity than Bruce because he was wearing clothes too big for him, raising his voice of an octave and other stuff...

Let me come back too you I thought the way it was explained was awesome

If anyone remembers that please mention it
TheClemster
TheClemster - 5/30/2013, 11:09 AM
@ supercat

correction man :

The explanation most commonly offered is simply that, despite their physical resemblance, Superman and Clark are perceived as being too different in mannerisms and personality to be the same individual. Some comics note, in the words of Barry Allen, that "Clark slouches, wears clothes two sizes too big and raises his voice an octave," making him appear shorter and overweight instead of muscular

"If they're trying to take on a realistic approach to Superman which they keep saying they're going to do. How in the world is even possible for him to have the alter ego of Clark. Because if they're going for realism that glasses disguise simply cannot work LOL. I mean it was already the worst disguise ever, but if you want to be realistic it's even more ludicrous."

First, they're not going for a dead on realistic approach. It's a more realistic approach. It's the emotions and the psychology and the Earth reacting to first contact from alien life that's more realistic. It'll be the physics of the powers on Earth that'll be more realistic.

As for the identity, he's able to get away with it, oddly enough, for the same reason Luthor doesn't know it. It's the ability to fathom that Superman even has a secret identity. It's just hard to imagine that someone so god-like wouldn't want to revel in their powers 24/7 and bask in the glow of being Superman all the time.

The idea that someone like that would so desperately want be "one of us" is just not the most obvious conclusion to jump to, particularly if you don't know he's been among us all his life and has grown up rather humble. The world comes to see Superman as Superman, not the identity Clark develops in order to use his powers to help the world so he can go back to being Clark at the end of the day. That's the ludicrous notion, not the other way around.

@DetBullock I can agree with that, but I dont think its completely wrong. At a young age, he had to learn to control his power therefore doing his best to "fit in" with everyone at that point.

As soon as he ends up at the Planet, with glasses as his only disguise, I'm out. That is, without a doubt, the worst of all superhero story lines. Make him a crabber or a fisherman or a homeless dude, just don't make him a nerd.

I think he'll be more like Dean Cain's interpretation of Clark Kent, just slightly different.

Sounds like Superman: Earth One, Superman: Birthright, and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman's version of Clark Kent all combined into one, with a little bit of Smallville's in there as well. I'm perfectly okay with that.
