Act Up

Yes, great acting. Christopher Reeve is the only one who has ever shown how a pair of dorky glasses could work as a disguise โ€” because itโ€™s not about the glasses. Those are just a prop for Supermanโ€™s/Clark Kentโ€™s own benefit, to remind him who he is (or is not) when the glasses are on.

The actual disguise is every single thing about him is completely different when heโ€™s Clark Kent. The glasses are merely an affordance for easily inhabiting that character.
