One of the biggest running “what the hell is wrong with this comic, movie, TV show” type of queries is the whole Clark Kent is Superman thing. In every comic, movie, or television show that he’s in Clark Kent is merely Superman with glasses and yet all of us sit there thinking “what the hell? are people this stupid?” We all just sit there and take it because that’s what’s given to us in the story. If all of us refused to watch the movies, read the comics, or engage in the shows then the franchise would be bankrupt and that would be the end of that.
But because it’s fantasy we accept the fact that no one in the entire world knows Clark Kent is Superman simply because he’s wearing glasses and it’s impossible to tell these are the same beings. However, did you know that there was a television show once upon a time that did in fact make fun of this incredible gaffe?
It was none other than Lois and Clark. The Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain starred television series had a great moment in its second season in which Teri Hatcher is called one of the stupidest people in the entire universe. Best part? The guy on the left is Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s.
But seriously, it was about time someone called out the whole glasses thing.
