But Clark looks like Superman as a schlub. One excuse for nobody noticing is that he slouches, speaks in a higher register, and walks around like he's worried about bumping into things. Clark Kent is kind of a big awkward guy with a strong jawline and bad eyes. Superman is what he might look like if he got in shape.
The other leading excuse is that nobody thinks Superman needs a secret identity. He's an invincible solar-powered alien who can fly. The fuck is he gonna do, walking amongst the rabble? Batman is unmistakably just A Dude, so he's gotta have a day job and a bed somewhere. Superman is a demigod. He doesn't even need to cosplay to see new movies. He can sit on the roof and use his ill-defined x-ray vision. Even gets to bring his own snacks.
