James Gunn on How Clark’s Glasses Really Hide His Superman Identity

Superman director James Gunn recently unveiled details about the Hypno glasses that Clark Kent wears to hide his secret identity. Kent’s disguise to conceal his Superman persona is one of the most popular covers used by a superhero among comic book fans. Superman, which features David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, sees the actor integrating the glasses perfectly into his Clark Kent persona, as shown in the movie’s trailers.

James Gunn says Clark uses hypno glasses to hide Superman identity

The Suicide Squad director recently talked about the hypno glasses, which Superman uses to conceal his secret identity.

James Gunn revealed to Comicbook.com that he forgot about the glasses possessing a power. He was reminded of the same by comic book writer Tom King. Moreover, the hypno glasses, which allow Clark Kent to appear different from Superman, are also canon in the comics.

The DC Studios co-CEO said, “It’s kind of been forgotten, but that’s from the comics. I was sitting with Tom King, the comic book writer, and I was like, ‘you know the thing that I just don’t really know how to reconcile in myself is the glasses because the glasses always bothered me as a kid.’ They bothered me because I just don’t have that much suspension of disbelief to believe that. But he said, ‘You know, there’s an answer for that in the comics, it’s canon that they hypnotize people.’”

Additionally, Gunn asserted that David Corenswet “looks the most different as Clark Kent to Superman, even more so than Chris Reeve.”

The description of the hypno glasses Clark was given to comic book fans in 1978 in Superman (Vol. 1) #330. Furthermore, in the trailer, fans have seen Clark Kent alter his voice and persona according to his secret Superman identity. He does so when he gets interviewed by Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan).
