minor fix?

| Dec 27, 2022 at 16:09 | comment | added | Theo Brinkman | This is the key for Superman. Clark Kent is his real identity. 'Superman' is the secret identity he puts on to do 'super-heroing'. With Batman it's the opposite. 'Batman' is the real identity, and 'Bruce Wayne' is the secret identity he uses to keep himself and his loved ones safe while he sleeps. The 'Bruce Wayne' persona is so far removed from what Batman is that no sane person would ever come to the conclusion that they're the same person without actually seeing the mask removed. (Google 'the butts match' for a good take on that aspect.) | |
