Rubie's Superman Clark Kent Glasses Standard

Product Information

His first appearance in Man of Steel was the classic ‘farm-boy-to-godlike-humanitarian’ origin story but in his two flicks since then he’s had to shoulder barge for screen time against Batman, Wonder Woman and a whole host of other spandex-clad supers. In the miniseries Superman: Secret Origin, Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Jon Sibal offered a new take on Clark Kent’s early years after DC Comics rebooted their universe again. Although Newton only lasted for the first season, he did give us some great glasses inspiration in the form of these enormous '80s style oversized acetate frames. Some comics even showed that Clark kept his wallet and keys in the pouch, although how Superman accomplished this without creating unsightly lumps in his cape is unknown.

These large square spectacles emphasized Clark Kent's studiousness, contrasting and hiding his hidden super powers.As a youthful Clark Kent in Smallville, Tom Welling showed us a more modern and sleek outlook, whilst he went back to the square and thick-rimmed frame from before the frame were more professional rather than geeky.

The glasses that Reeves wore were made of tortoise shell acetate with traditionally round lens rims.A graduate of Arizona State University with a PhD in 20th Century American Literature, Michael has written novels, short stories, stage plays, screenplays, and how-to manuals.
