New picture of fabulous Lois Lane with an iPad from Man of Steel
We've long since realized that Amy Adams won't be ditching her signature red hair to play famous brunette Lois Lane i Man of Steel, but that's just about all we do know about the character. She's appeared briefly in the film's trailers, but most of the marketing has, intuitively, focused on Clark Kent or Superman. If Lois Lane is playing an unusually big role in this one, they're keeping it under wraps for now.
In fact, the reveal of Lois Lane is apparently so minor that Warner Bros. has handed the honors off to the Spanish sit Desde Hollywood(vi Bleeding Cool), which posted the image in black and white for no apparent reason (are there black and white flashback sequences in the film? Probably not). Either way, you can see it belo above.
The iPad in her hand, combined with that 70s/80s throwback style of the collar and vest, makes for a pretty clear signal that this will be a very, very modern Superman, or at least a very modern Daily Planet office. That could mean for a lot of unnecessary jokes about the paper suffering cutbacks or needing to fire dead weight like Jimmy Olsen, but it could also be a refreshing spin on the character, deliberately getting away from all the glossy reverence that Bryan Singer' Superman Returns ot caught up in. You know that if another image emerges of Superman using an iPad, all the rival tablet makers are just gonna get furious.
Man of Steel omes to theaters on June 14 this year. For everything else we know about it so far click here.
iPad, huh? Better tell me why no one recognized Superman as Clark Kent in the era of Facebook, Google and nosy Internet users. His ass would be busted on reddit or 4chan faster than he can say, "you are my kryptonite".

If the people of Metropolis are that stupid he shouldn't be saving their ass every twenty minutes. Let natural selection play out. Damn.
It's not perfect, as people close to them can figure out mannerisms - episode 2 had Sailor Moon hide from her brother behind a curtain cuz of this. Usagi's best friend, due to the constant attacks against her and her frequent associations with Sailor Moon, also figured it out by the 3rd season. Observant people can pick up on stuff like scent (Sailor Moon noticing Sailor Uranus wears the same perfume as Haruka), speech patterns (Fish-Eye figuring out that Usagi repeated word-for-word what Sailor Moon earlier just said to him, in the same context), and physical traits (Sailor Venus' old flame seeing her perform a volleyball move only Minako knows because she invented it).
Breaking the glamor requires actually seeing the transformation. Even telling the person their true identity won't work if they don't believe. Usagi stated she was Sailor Moon to Kaolinite, but she didn't buy it after seeing !disguised!Sailor Moon in place of the real one. Sailors Uranus and Neptune also didn't believe Usagi for a long time, as they thought she was too much of a dumbass to be a crime fighter. The glamor doesn't screw with your senses or mind totally - if you see a Sailor Senshi go into a Port-A-Potty, and out comes their civilian identity, you'll probably figure it out, which is why it's important for the girls to change in a hidden area.

The only people that would see him everyday are his co-workers and I doubt most people can recall every feature of a room of 50 people they work with every day. Eye color, moles, etc.
