Superdickery

I've been reading Superdickery a funny collection of Superman (and other) comic book covers highlighting the nonsensical plots used in the Golden and Silver age comic books.

But it's also made me think about Smallville, which is setting itself up for the most annoying plot device ever.

Too impatient to not have Superman encounter primary characters such as Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, if the TV series hopes to end with Clark Kent becoming Superman, they will somehow have to explain how all these people who have known him acting normally (as in, not the bumbling, inept Clark Kent who wears glasses to disguise his identity) will forget all that and stop recognising him as he flies around wearing a cape.

Or maybe they'll put an end to all this foolishness and have him wear a mask, like he really should.
