DC’sSupermanhas magnificently never worn a mask to hold back his human face , making him one of the outliers of the genre when comparedto the the likes of of Batman , Spider - Man , etc . But theSupermanfranchise , as is the case with life in general , changes over time , almost always for the good .

When Clark Kent left Earth , he passed on the mantleof Superman to his young son Jonathan Kent . Jonathan has inherit all the tycoon of his father , his general worldview , and his power to see the capacity for good in all creature bang-up and small - but lacks his experience .

But just like his father , he does n’t don a masquerade party when he fly into action … until now .

Superman ’s novel boyfriend Jay Nakamura , an dauntless diarist in the same vein as Lois Lane , invites Superman to the float headquarters of The Truth , Nakamura ’s organization that seeks to weaken and eventually end the evil President Henry Bendix ’s vice handle on the island nation of Gamorra . Before boarding the gravy holder , Jay bid Superman a mask to wear . “You suppose I ’ll attract less attention if I tire out a mask in public?“asks Superman . Jay responds in the negative ; he ’s offer Superman ajobat The Truth . But the veridical true statement is exactly what indistinguishability the mask is covering up .
While Superman does have a confidential identity ( at least in the past;he forsake it to save civilian students from a torpedo ) , his personality is precisely the same as his alter ego . Peter Parker becomes observably more convinced and prostrate to clever comeback and prank when he puts on the mask of Spider - Man . Meanwhile , Batman see his hood as his true identity andBruce Wayneas the mask . But Superman puts on the mask to obscure the fact that he ’s Superman , not Jonathan Kent - because Supermanishis personality . His selflessness is no bit .
Superman quickly ditches his mask as soon as a creature appear from the ocean flooring and fly off to stop it from imperil the city ( to no avail ; the creature was set upon by henchmensent from Superman ’s modish supervillain ) . Note how heremoveshis masquerade party while decease into battle , not assume it ; Superman is as tolerant , heroic and optimistic as his repute that keep him . Superman’ssecret identity element is , in actuality , not a secret at all , but the honorable truth .
