When will Clark start wearing glasses?

[celldog]

It really funny reading all of these way-out explanations on how clark hides is I.D. in Metropolis. The comic book Scenario works because it's Clark with glasses that "First" moves to Metropolis, having never met Lois, Perry, Lex or anyone else. Smallville screws all of that up. It's the cart before the horse.


The only thing I can come up with is Jor - El doing some kind of mind " whammy " on everyone for his son's protection, just before he leaves Smallville for the big city. They've darn near made Jor-El into Lord Odin anyway. So why not use some ol' Kryptonian memory eraser.

Clark used it on Lois in Superman II. She forgot everything.

Otherwise there is no secret I.D.

i would feel so cheated if a mind whammy is done. it would basically be like saying all the events that we've been watching the past 5 years never occurred.

tell me this, if you meet someone at work for the first time and they have glasses on, then you work with them everyday for a while, then one night you're out at a bar and run into that person sans glasses, do you just completely not recognize them? Anyone with half a functioning cortex is going to be able to tell Clark is Superman from meeting them both, especially two people of higher intelligence like Lois and Lex. It's one the weakest parts of the Superman myth, and one of those things you just accept to enjoy Superman.

And actually in the Silver Age comics, Clark not only knew Lex in Smallville but also ran into Lois Lane on occassion, as Superboy and Clark Kent.

suspension of disbelief my friend, thats all I can tell you. The glasses as disguise thing doesnt work without it, regardless of who's seen Clark without them on or not...

I've actually mistook a person I had a class with in school for two different people because that person wore glasses in the morning, but didn't in the evening class. I thought they looked similar, maybe they were related or something , but she carried herself differently in those classes.

That's the first time I realized the Clark Kent-in-glasses disguise actually works!

But if you got to know that person really really well, the way Lois knows Clark and Superman, would you still not realise that they are the same person.

Just a question.

i wear glasses normally, on the odd occaision i wear contacts, everyone still knows its me, even though they say things like "you look different today......have you done something with yur hair?"

people can be dumb sometimes.

This is something I posted on another thread regaurding wether or not clark should fly into the sky in full out fit at the end of the series or not. I thought it would go well here.



Honestly I dont think they should wait till the end, we need to see the costumes origin, and see at least a little superhero action going on. As well we need to know how he keeps everyone from knowing his secret identity. Cuz lets face facts, hes never worn glasses..............little hard to explain why ya got the same face as superman.
Lois: Did I see you wearing spandex?
Clark: W-what?
Lois: Yea, on the news......picking up a bus.
Clark: ...Huh?
Lois: And FLYING!
Clark: Oh....you mean that...superman guy..
Lois: Ya he looks like you
Clark: ....ME!...um..no...um..I wear glasses
Lois: You didnt use to.
Clark: Uh....yea I did...always..*cough*
Lois: ..........
Clark: What I guess....I guess you just didnt notice...
Lois: DIDNT NOTICE! FOR THREE YEARS!
Clark: Well.....I guess your just not that attentive
Lois: Uh-huh....
Clark: Yea...well....I'm late....so.........(OHCRAPOHCRAPOHCRAP!!)

 

[IronLion]

they have to have a way of introducing them that is logical not just some dumb ass way.

When will Clark start wearing glasses?

Clark wore the Glasses in an episode in Season 3 episode "Whisper"

My Guess is Clark will wear The Glasses in The Series finale Episode .

 

[NHawk19]

Lex is the one I really have a tough time with.

Thus far SV has given an explaination for Lois, which may be reasonable. I still dont think she should be slinging lattes in the Talon but that's something else entirely.

 

[Kaboom]

with jimmy comin on, i thought this might be appropriate again.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

In terms of people not recognizing him. Lana knows he's Superman before he leaves Smallville so she's not an issue. As for Lex and Lois, well thats just one of those things you buy into with Superman. Realistically in any version of Superman how do the World's best investigative reporter and a Criminal Mastermind not put 2 and 2 together either?

As far as Lois goes, that's one of the things that I loved about Lois in the original films (or at least how Donner intended it). She was too intelligent not to figure it out and put two and two together. It would be cool if that's how they played it in Smallville as well (if they ever get the chance to go that far). Like how Donner intended Lois to finding out the truth. She knew Clark was really Superman, but she had to trick him into revealing his identity. I could picture Erica Durance's Lois pulling something like that over Clark and tricking him into revealing his secret.

Lex on the other hand, in the comics at least, he had the resources to find out the truth and he did. When he did find out Clark was really Superman, he dismissed the idea. He thought it was too absurd of a notion that the most powerful being on the planet, would lead the life of a mild mannered news reporter. But in Smallville it's different. Lex has had his suspicions about Clark since day 1 when he ran him over with his car. He always thought there was more to him than meets the eye. All it would take would be for Superman to go public for Lex to put two and two together. I would be very interested to see how they would handle this. Perry and Jimmy on the other hand is anyone's guess.

 

[Eddie Brock]

it's interesting that you bring up the series finale..i think (if he hasn't done it already) as the very last shot, we see a little of this:

 

[portentcomics]

I think its about time Clark starts to think "I need to start to cover my powers up a bit - I need people to not think of Clark Kent as Hero"

It really should be this season he begins to develop his new identity to stop endangering those around him and to hid his powers.

Get those glasses on him!!

In High School I use to have Glasses and some ppl did not recognice u with out them. I remember this day when my Glasses broke (I used to sleep with them on sometimes ) and I had to go to school almos blind (LoL) and there was this girl that was in my Civic class and she sat infront of me for almost a year (I was a shy kid ) and that day she turnd arownd and ask me if I was new in class and the guy that was beside me call her stupid and said that I had been behind her for almost a year, she felt so stupid that she turnd and faces foward.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

It's been 6 seasons almost might as well give the specs to him

 

[BaK]

so who's this guy anyway ?

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I dont know, but I wouldnt cast him any big budget super hero flicks....

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

If they're smart enough they will realize that the thing with the plane is a perfect opportunity to make Clark realize that he needs a secret identity. All they have to do is follow the plane sequence from Man Of Steel where he is mobbed by ppl after landing the plane.
Hopefully the glasses will be introduced this season.

There is another fix for the classes and that's simply write Lois and Lex off the show until Clark appears as \S/. Sucks for Rosenbaum and Durance and I understand they have a contract but it makes the most sense.

You think that's silly. When my son first arrived here from Oz he was in 10th Grade and this girl asked him if people in the Southern Hemisphere were worried if they would fall of the edge of the earth, being upside down and all. She was absolutely serious.

Aint gonna happen, so you'd better think of a Plan B.

 

[NHawk19]

Unfortunately I know. . . . .Plan B though would be only Lois gets written off, and Lex' screen time w/ Clark continues to fade. This would make way for 2 spin-offs one about Lex and one for Lois.

Yes I know that wont happen either.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

yes, I do agree that Lex's screen time with Clark should diminish. It seems totally unrealistical that these guys are no longer friends yet Clark is always barging in Lex's mansion without his permission whenever he wants.
They can easily do opposite stories, while Clark deals with his story arc for the episodes we see Lex building his empire on the opposite story arc.
I think the producers fear that having Lex on the show only works if he somehow interacts with Clark.
In season 4 they have 1 or 2 episodes in which they didn't interact at all after their friendship "ended" and those worked beautifully.

 

[Sean Adisano]

NEVER!!!! tht would destroy this show. and its pretty stupid that glasses hide his identity

I love the way Clark barges into Lex's mansion.

It shows us that Clark is going on a hunch and his hunches always turn out to be right.

It shows us that if Clark has a belief in something he's not intimidated to tackle the situation head on.

We also get to see him listening to Lex's spiels and have Clark working out for himself what's the truth and what isnt it.

It has Lex wondering how the heck did Clark get past my security again. (He really should sack that security staff)

I also like to see Lex live by a little hope that maybe Clark has popped in for a chat.
