13 Awkward Moments That Must Have Happened After The End Of Famous Movies
4. Clark Convinces All Of Smallville To Keep His Secret - Man Of Steel
The Actual Ending: Although Man Of Steel managed to present a twist on pretty much every element of the Superman origin (the spaceship of solitude, the school bus, the lack of red underwear), Zack Snyder still deemed it necessary to have Clark Kent's only disguise be a pair of glasses. The film ends with Kal-El taking up the Superman mantle (but not the rule of no killing) and slotting into the the real world as a Daily Planet reporter.
The Awkward Moment: Now let's buy people falling for the glasses trick because that's a tired joke that gets us nowhere and look at what the film itself tells us. The people who know Clark is Supes are Lois Lane, Ma Kent and potentially some of the army.
Oh, and all of Smallville. Yeah, let's not forget that everyone in his hometown knows about the whole school bus incident and when the Kryptonian's attacked the Kent home odds are many people joined the dots. Which means that if Clark didn't want them running to the press with a juicy expose there must have been a moment when he approached the town and asked them to keep mum. Maybe he just threatened to snap their necks and scream loudly.
