Less than two weeks left to Superman Return to the cinemas by James Gunn. With all the advances already presented, now the information comes to us in the form of details about the film, and the last to come to light has been the aspect behind the figure of Clark Kent, more specifically, of its differences with Superman.
Through an interview with the American media Comicbook, the director of the film, James Gunn, explained Why nobody recognizes Clark Kent as Superman for his physical appearance. Well, the answer comes directly from the comics, since the filmmaker loves the most reason Silver age You can face your face.
“As a child, I bothered me … I don’t have so much suspension of disbelief to believe that they are two different people … but Tom King said: ‘You know, there is an answer to that in comics: that They hypnotize people‘”, said Gunn, making clear before the tape that his glasses have much more utility than simply offering a better vision to Clark Kent.
Although it seems to be a cheap trick and the typical “a magician” did, the truth is that, despite its simple execution, it is from my point of view the simplest and what gives it more mystical superhero, since according to some comics, these glasses are made of a Kryptonian material that, with the help of Superman’s vision, gives him the ability to slightly alter his appearance.
In addition, Clark Kent himself adds other details so that his perfect physical appearance is noticed even less, such as changing the voice to a more acute and fearful, or hunting his back to appear bad habits. Of course, It is a simple answer, but not less effective that the others are well justified.
