The actual line said by Power Girl is: "To murder Superman in his Fortress..." This occurred in The Brave and the Bold #7 by Mark Waid.

Since this is Wonder Woman’s 75th anniversary I just wanted to remind ya’ll this happened. This shit is canon
Only if Greg is actually working at an IT company that services the White House. And there are times where Greg disappears just as Obama appears in situations that Greg should actually be there. And Greg lived in a small town where strange political wrongs were righted. I don’t know what the Obama equivalent of a superman physique would be, but it’s probably a love for affordable health care, so maybe Greg is constantly helping people sign up for Obamacare at work?
I still think it’s hilarious that the reason nobody ever figures out Superman’s secret identity or where he lives or what he does when he’s not saving the planet, is because he already told them all the Kryptonian stuff that can’t be tied to any of his human friends or family. I guarantee you the in-universe wikipedia article on Superman lists his name as Kal-El and the “personal life” section says that he lives full-time at his private fortress of solitude at the north pole. Nobody in the world looks at Clark Kent and thinks “oh my god, maybe he’s superman!” for the same reason nobody ever starts to suspect that their coworker who looks KINDA like Barack Obama is actually secretly Barack Obama – They know who Barack Obama is and know what he does and they know their coworker Greg is Greg and not Barack Obama. They have no reason to assume Barack Obama secretly moonlights as Greg The IT Guy at their workplace even though they’ve never seen Greg and Obama in the same place. At best, “Greg is secretly Obama” would be a running joke at the office, and the same is true at the Daily Planet. “Kal-El of Krypton, who lives in a CRYSTAL PALACE at the NORTH POLE and whose dayjob is SUPERMAN, sometimes puts on a suit and pretends to be a clumsy reporter and lives in a one-bedroom walkup in Metropolis” is a ridiculous concept to anyone who doesn’t already know it’s true

In Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s All-Star Superman, artist Frank Quitely does a particularly good job at creating the contrast between Clark Kent and Superman in his panels by changing small details about the two that results in understanding why characters who live in Clark’s life don’t see through his secret identity. Obviously this is easier to pull off in a comic than a movie, but the changes made between the characters aren’t a difference in proportions, Clark and Superman still seem, in the comic, to have the same height, frame, and jaw line. Below are a few pictures of how he changes Clark.
Y’know, I really enjoy the concept of Clark Kent.
Like, minus the whole superman aspect.
because, like, okay I can buy that maybe he can disguise himself well enough to hide the fact that he’s superman, but i doubt any amount of slouching and glasses wearing can truly disguise that he’s a very tall EXTREMELY muscular man with a jawline that can cut glass.
So basically this newspaper office has this guy who looks like a weightlifter/supermodel just hanging around but he wears glasses and acts like a huge nerd and everyone just goes with it???
Like “Oh yeah, that’s Clark. No no he works here. Oh no don’t bother being intimidated by him, talk to him for five minutes and he’ll devolve into a lecture on proper tractor maintenance. We like Clark.”
I wonder if the ladies in the office ever drag him with them to bars so they don’t have to worry about creeps trying to harass them like “back off creeps our friend here is 6′4″ and grew up chucking hay bales” And then it’s funny because (as far as they know) Clark is like, the meekest lil nerd around. (He don’t look it though!!!!)
It’s just incredible to me that Clark Kent can pull off being a quiet harmless dork while still looking like, well, superman.
I never read the subtitles in this scene, I never want to miss a single one of her expressions.
This scene.
If you didn’t cry when Kira danced with Chuckie at the end of the second movie, then you should seek professional help.
Seriously, Rugrats was not fucking around.
