Movie :	Superman - 1978
Nitpick Category :	Plot
Approximate time of Nitpick :	Throughout the movie
Summary :	How come nobody notices that Clark is Superman? (Refuted)
Detail :	Is it possible that no one has ever realized that Clark and Superman look exactly alike? I mean, I don't suppose that clumsiness and a pair of glasses are so good a disguise! One would expect that at least Lois should have made the connection sooner or later, since she is constantly in contact with Clark and has spent a good amount of time in Superman´s company (even flying with him). She´s a journalist, so I would expect her to be a little <a href="http://www.howtoearnmoremoneyonline.com" alt="earn more money" target="_blank">more</a> observant!

Summary:	The comic book explanation
Detail :	I remember around 26 years ago or thereabouts when they finally published an explanation for that. In the story, there was a villian who used mass hypnosis. Superman found a way to nullify hypnosis to keep the people of Metropolis safe, but in the process he discovered the reason why people couldn't see through his disguise: he unconsciously created an illusion of a weak, frail Clark who appeared to be bigger and broader from the back. When he looked at people through his Clark Kent glasses, the illusion came on. When he nullified the effects of hypnosis, people started asking him what he was up to, trying to dress like Clark Kent. And, of course, for those who ask how this could work with photos and television, the answer is simple: SUPER hypnosis!
