What Does The Audience Know? - Writing and Editing Advice by Greg Luti

Superman and What the Audience Knows There is a question regarding one of pop culture’s iconic heroes that a writer can use in order to better understand their own story. The knowledge that Superman is, in essence, a disguise for the real man is not a surprise. The very idea is so well-known that many mock that one person can fool everyone by taking off his glasses.
