James Gunn confirms Clark Kent wears hypnotic glasses in Superman’s new film

Until Superman has existed, there has been an annoying question that fans love to hit … How does no one that Clark Kent is only Superman with glasses? It has been the subject of infinite jokes, memes and topics, even among irreducible fans.

WELL, James Gunn He listens to you and protrudes in a solution directly from the comics with Hypno glasses.

While chat with the comic, Gunn faced the classic identity problem and admitted that he used to disturb him … until the comic Tom King He reminded him that Superman’s glasses actually have a superpotent explanation.

Gunn said Hypno glasses that protect Clark Kent’s identity:

“This is the canon in the comics. It is a bit forgotten, but this is from the comics. I was sitting with Tom King, the comic writer, and I was the guy, ‘you know that the thing I don’t really know how to reconcile in myself are glasses because the glasses have always annoyed me as a child.’ They annoyed me because I don’t have so much suspension of incredivity to believe it.”

It turns out that glasses alter the perception. Gunn continued to explain it, yes, David CorenswetClark Kent will seem and act differently from Superman, but the idea that glasses help deceive people is interesting and Gunn has continued to say:

“You know, they are two different people even if I think from all the actors who played Superman, Corenswet seems the most different as Clark Kent to Superman, even more than Chris Reeve. But he said:” You know, there is an answer for this in the comics, it is a canon that hypnotically “.”

If you go back to Superman Vol. 1 #330 (Published in 1978), the comic explains that Superman uses the “super hypnosis” through his glasses to subtly manipulate the way others perceive it as Clark Kent. It is strange, of course. But it works and Gunn is embracing him.
