In the source material he isn't, it was really only the films with Christopher Reeve where he acted like that. He can be clumsy and a bit "dorky" in the comics and other adaptations but he still typically behaves like a regular dude. And the "dorky" part is what makes him endearing, at least to me.
@jessicalillianweinberg440115 күн бұрын
@@mlb12041998 The 90s TV version of Clark said, "Superman is what I can do. Clark is who I am." He WAS Clark Kent (Jonathan and Martha's son) and wanted to be liked for the "real" person - which is why he didn't want to tell Lois he was Superman during the time that she was in love with Superman and dismissive of Clark (and later she actually starts to have feelings for Clark.) But on the other hand, given what we know about his powers, he obviously doesn't really need the glasses, so the only reason for choosing to wear them is to make himself look nerdier and hide the resemblance to Superman. Actually, in the 90s show it seems like he had glasses before he even started being Superman.

I've always thought that George's vision of Clark Kent was spot on as a guy you'd want to shoot pool with on a Saturday night. For me, it was Clark's natural, quiet confidence that showed he didn't need to do the fumbling buffoon routine to hide the fact that he was Superman. Kent's being just another guy was understated just enough that most people wouldn't connect him to Superman. Thanks to George Reeves, Clark Kent was no punk. It is heartbreaking to no end that George didn't live long enough to see how genuinely beloved he really was. I miss him.

One of the unique features of The Adventures of Superman was the portrayal of Clark Kent as the hard-hitting crime-beat reporter who hung out with the chief of police, rather than the ineffective character in the comics (and later portrayals). This worked for the series because Clark was on stage much more of the time than Superman was - itself a wise decision. Save Superman for the special times he's needed.

Jimmy (jack Larson) explained in an interview many years after the show that just after filming that scene he went to the director about seeing Clark without glasses, which was the first time on the show. Jack said the director talked to other production staff and went back and forth on how to deal with it. They thought it would be too strange for him to have the glasses on after the fall in the shower, and they loved the scene so much to cut it. In the end the director just threw up his hands and said leave it in the scene, and not talk about it.

Not to be a purist by from the very beginning in the comic books, Clark Kent was portrayed as a weakling who fled from every fight. Even something mild like a gangster cutting in on Clark's dance with Lois depicted him giving in and earning her scorn. The dual character of Zorro was the same: Feign weakness to divert suspicion. And yet... somehow, some way, George Reeves made this more confident version of Clark Kent work with his easy charm and likeable manner. These episodes are a delight thanks to him and the cast.

The Batman in many ways I've always felt that George Reeves was the best Superman. Granted one can argue that he was a little old for the role, and he wasn't the "perfect physical specimen that some of the Supermen were. The special effects were primitive, and the later plots were poorly written. But George Reeves simply carried himself in such a way, with an underlying self-confidence, that he was completely believable both as Clark and Superman. Few other Superman actors were able to strike that balance.

To all those who ask, why can't they see Clark Kent as Superman without his glasses. That question was answered in an old Superman comic book. The mind control is almost the answer. When he looks at people through his glasses, it has a hypnotic affect on the person he looks at. They see him differently than what he really looks like. It's the effect of the lenses. They were made from the window of the spaceship that brought him to Earth. Like his costume, indestructible because it was made of the blankets he was wrapped in when he came to Earth.

When people were wondering about what he did with his Clark Kent clothes, the explanation was he compressed them and kept them in a pouch inside his cape. Over the past few years I have purchased all of the Superman Silver Age comics from October 1960 up to November 1970. I also have every Action Comic from June 1960 up to December 1970.

Lois is obviously the worst investigative reporter on Earth. I grew up with this show, and loved the entire cast. My kids hated it, Superman didn’t battle any aliens.

@@garycwelch6782 You also have to look at where American culture was at the time. Teachers and policemen were in positions of authority. Almost everyone trusted their government. Television never showed men and women sleeping in a single bed, and so on. That was the formula for TV programs then. Did you ever see any blood on people who got shot in a western? Rarely, if at all. And the Lone Ranger pretty much always shot the guns out of the hands of the bad guys. There is Hollywood fantasy and there is the real world. Big difference.

George Reeves was the best Superman, so much like the comic books especially this particular episode,, love the look on George Reeves face when he knocked the Bell off the strongman Sledgehammer strength test. This particular show at the circus could have been in Adventures of Superman comic book.

"Who is Superman?, asks Superman. Ace reporter, newspaper editor, news photographer, collectively have the brain power equivalent to a piece of pound cake.

Somewhere in the 1950s two young brothers are watching a man fly through the air as he helps the desperate simultaneously taking down the bad guys. George Reeves was a real Superman to these children. Gone too early Reeves left his mark on generations of children.

I just discovered this and the very first episode of Superman. Today is 9-11-2019 18 years since we needed Superman. The captian went on to play bad guys in the old westerns. I think George Reeves actually thought he was Superman. It was a fine show to grow up with now that I am 62 and just finding one of my fav shows!

Wow just seeing the late murdered George reeves and the late Noel Neil working together just as they did 66 years back to today is the best and cleanest possible way to have TV in black and white and 3 years later technicolor itself too bad all the Superman characters are dead including Christopher reeve (dead at 52,2004) and Margot kidder (dead at 69,2018) that is too bad we'll miss them forever forevermore oh well but their performances and characters live on in our hearts and minds for years to come hopefully that simple peace and blessings to you all.

I watched this when I was 5 or 6 I am 68 now and it is shown on Heroes and Icons Network on Sunday mornings and I still love to watch it. As I got older and watched in reruns, then George Reeves became my first crush.
