The scene acts as an example of both action and comedy. We see Clark Kent run towards a phone booth, a comic favorite for a Superman quick-change, which appears to be a newer type of phone booth. Clark Kent runs to some rotating doors, in order to change into Superman out of the public eye. When Superman appears and saves Lois from the helicopter, we end with one of Superman’s most famous lines “You’ve got me? Who’s got you?” The scene is definitely serious, partly because Lois Lane is falling out of a helicopter, but overall, the mood is quite comical and funny. To add to the humor, Clark Kent is changing into Superman, which is in fact Christopher Reeve in disguise changing to Christopher Reeve. Christopher Reeve, in public at least, never wore glasses, so in reality, his face is truly the face of Superman. Superman disguises himself as Clark Kent in glasses, which is exactly what Christopher Reeve has to do for the role. It is very funny and uncanny to watch this bustling scene with ambiguity, which lies between the identity of Superman and Christopher Reeve. Both Superman and Reeve wear glasses as a disguise, emphasizing the combining of identity between Superman and Christopher Reeve.
