We, as audience with privileged information, have no problem connecting the dots, but otherwise:- Why assume that Superman has a secret identity? What need would superman have of it, in the first place? He´s seen as almost a god, so it would seem somewhat idiotic that he needs to disguise as a reproter and look for a house like a normal guy, instead of living elsewhere: his spacecraft, the north pole, or the Moon.- At least in the films, the costumed Superman appears the first time as a full adult. I don´t remember the details, but while it´s known that he comes from Kripton, there´s no reason to assume he did that as an infant and was raised here; the logical thing was to suppose he arrived in spacecraft, already fully grown. Clark, on the other hand, has a researchable life as a nomal (if maybe a bit too much healthy) human infant.- He looks like Superman. ¿So what? Looking like someone isn´t so uncommon, and surely Clark isn´t the only one that looks like him. Of course, those things aren´t foolproof. He´d be discovered, sooner or later. But if I´m going to accept that he´s able to lift a kriptonite rock the size of a big city (that won´t split in half), that little fact doesn´t bother me so much.</blockquote>
