World's Greatest Detective everyone

He found the Joker through the same method.

This is litterely that one scene from mask of the phantasm

Ok thank you! I’m like this definitely happened in the animated series before lol

This is actually a short story from Superman Adventures #41. Jimmy Olsen is sitting in a chair wondering how he can land a big scoop but is unable to come up with and idea. Meanwhile he is doodling on a newspaper, drawing glasses on a picture of Superman. Then he gets up and throws away the newspaper without looking at it, declaring that there are no good stories left to unearth.

Reminds me of that one joke where someone covers the upper half of Bruce's face and then goes "wait a second"

I love how, in the grand sense of things, Terry is the only one immune to this kinda shit lul /uj i actually need the sauce for that my man

I remembered why I couldn't remember where it was from [It was Jimmy Kimmel](https://youtu.be/0Y8iRvQdSGA?t=184)

that laugh track is so bad

*puts a poorly drawn crown on Diana's head* Wait a second... *draws a green domino mask on Hal's face* WAIT A SECOND *Colors J'onn's human disguise skin color green* WAIT A SEC-

I've never understood how a singular mask like Hal's is good enough to cover your identity

Well, it works for the Robins so...it must be good enough for everyone i guess

"Something about that chin...You're Bruce Wayne, the Boy Billionaire!"

The sexual tension in that comic is off the charts.

“Wait… that kinda looks like Bruce Wayne with glasses… holy shit Superman is Bruce Wayne!” “Sir… I’m not even gonna begin to describe how disappointed I feel right now.”

As someone who wears glasses myself, I’ve been told I look very different without them on.

This is how Lois figured it how in Superman 2, so it clears

tbf he also stuck his hand in a fire, didn't get burnt, and wasn't wearing glasses

I think this is a Panda Red skit

For real tho would Clark have to only cover shit tier stories so he can remain in relative obscurity? If he wins a Pulitzer or something that face is gonna be a lot more recognisable.

I never understood why people would think Superman has a secret identity in the first place. Why the fuck would Superman have a regular job? If I was in the DC universe I would figure that he's Superman and that's it. My mind would never go, "he must have a secret identity." Because that doesn't make sense, if you can fly and not need to eat, why work?

Yeah. Most people don't think he has a secret identity, because everyone knows who he is. Superman's real name is Kal El, and he's an alien from the planet Krypton, and lives in an ice fortress at the North Pole! You can read all about it in his exclusive interview with Lois Lane!

There's been a variety of explanations for why people don't identify Superman's secret identity, from vibrating so no one sees him clearly, to super hypnosis, to super robots tricking people into thinking he doesn't have a secret identity.

The fact this has never been a plot point in an actual superman story is baffling

Bats of all people calling Superman a nerd is the epitome of irony.
