Henry Cavel stood under the BvS billboard in time square in a superman shirt and no one recognized him.
Well, it’s also Manhattan where the only time that you make eye contact with someone is to silently negotiate where opposing foot traffic is going.
And, knowing it’s New York, if I noticed him, I would have probably seen him and thought, “this guy looks like Henry Cavill and is trying to make a few bucks in Times Square with tourists” Which is kind of a thing in Times Square.
Definitely. I’d be like “look at this fucking guy and his Superman shirt…”
Also, you’d have to be pretty young to think Henry Cavill when you think of Superman instead of Christopher Reeve or even Dean Cain.
If he was alive and I saw Christopher Reeve standing next to a Superman sign, I’d be a hell of a lot more likely to recognize him.
Holy shit that is a amazing stunt. 10/10 decision by Henry Caville. What an absolute lad
I would have.
My biggest gripe with the Clark Kent disguise is that I think it’s truly impossible for someone who’s confident and strong to pretend they aren’t. They’re in the wrong head space for making all of those signals.
Edit: that was supposed to be a gif saying “acting”…
But I’m betting Henry’s girlfriend (if he has one) would have recognized him. Even if he wore glasses.
If Lois puts on sunglasses and looks into a mirror will she recognize herself?
“holy shit I’m superman”
All of the “clark kent” level disguises are completly immersion breaking.
Instead “ooo she doesn’t know he’s the awkward newspaper guy she’s in love with” its “my god woman, are you blind? All he did was take off his glasses and put on tights yet you can’t regonize the man”
She just has undiagnosed face blindness. So she just goes off of people’s behaviors, and since Clark has never turned into superman in front of her she doesn’t realize it’s the same person.
Go watch the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. He makes it completely believable that the disguise works.
My wife points this out every time. His whole demeanor and posture changes when he puts on the glasses.
The hair changes with the costume, too. Neatly combed to one side as Clark, swept to the other with the iconic spit curl as Supes.

Lois Lane has known about Superman’s identity for a few decades at this point, IIRC
I hate it when memes don’t strictly adhere to modern comic book canon.
Me too thanks
