[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2946539, member: 707"] Fair enough, we can agree to disagree. I've never met the coworker who could come to work one day wearing (or not wearing) glasses, and convince me they were somebody else. Even when I was doing theatre work in college, I can't think of a one of them that was so good an actor that a pair of specs would be all they'd need to fool me. I'm not saying the two personas--Clark and Supes--don't have very different mannerisms. I'm just saying that without a pure faith suspension of disbelief, it'd be patently obvious that they were the same person, affecting different mannerisms. At least, for people who are familiar with their features through daily exposure. In [i]Spider-Man[/i], the Goblin/Osbourne dichotomy is a good example. Especially in the mirror sequence, the actor did a brilliant job of giving life to two distinct personas. But despite the fact that he has completely different mannerisms and personality, if the Goblin persona had put on a pair of specs and walked into the OsCorp board room, the board members' likely reaction would be, "Wtf? Osbourne, have you gone bleeping crazy?" Not even close to, "Who the heck are you?" [/QUOTE]
