it’s easy to mock the concept of batman’s secret identity and think it’s ridiculous that nobody would realize that he’s bruce wayne but if some lady suddenly showed up late at night dressed in full military grade kevlar and started fighting crime in los angeles i wouldn’t look at that and think "ah it’s kylie jenner
you-got-it-capstar:
Same logic applies to Clark Kent tbh I wouldn’t see Superman, the crazy powerful alien, zooming past me and go “i think he’s secretly an award winning journalist”
the-swift-tricker: "it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…anderson cooper?!
appendingfic:
Me: "sees masked man fighting both crime and police corruption* Me: I have no idea who that is, but it is NOT a billionaire.

Exactly. Tony Hawks is the ultimate proof that the Clark Kent disguise would work on most people.
He’s world renowned, but because he looks like just a regular guy, nobody recognises him, and he’s not even trying to disguise himself in any way
in The Expanse SOOO many people recognize the Deputy Under Secretary of the UN, and know her name.
Honestly, I could have a full on conversation with Kalama Harris where she’s introduced as “Ms Harris” and she says “call me Kamala” and I may not twig.
You’d be surprised at how well this works on the Internet too.
All I have to do is say some funny things here and there once in a while.
Anderson Cooper
Oh, don’t start that again! Anderson Cooper wears glasses. Captain Amazing doesn’t wear glasses.
He takes them off when he transforms
preposterous. no one who wears glasses ever takes them off and doesn’t wear them again for 3 or 4 days and lives in a perpetual blur that would be easier to navigate if they just wore their glasses but for some reason don’t
In the comics, they’ve shown Batman moderating a website called ‘Bruce Wayne is Batman.’ It’s like ‘birds aren’t real,’ and constantly plays off the idea that Wayne is a complete wuss and a giant coward.
Somewhere in Gotham City, there’s a planning and zoning guy probably making bank for playing dumb about all of Bruce Wayne’s “totally not a batcave you guys” building permits.
Something tells me the batcave does not have OSHA’s stamp of approval.
I don’t think I would be surprised if Anderson Cooper was a vigilante.
IMO 90% of the Tony Hawk stories he made up. Also, dudes a dickhead, he told a child to fuck off when he asked for an autograph at my local skatepark when I was younger.
To be fair with super man I’d imagine at least one of his coworkers would think man Clark looks a lot like super man with glasses
I’ve definitely seen a page from an issue where one of his coworkers says something like “Hey, you guys ever think Clark kinda looks like that Superman?” and they all bust out laughing before another one says “Imagine Clark saving anyone!”
