And Superman doesn’t have a place to change.
They made fun of that all the way back in Superman The Movie (1978)
Telephone booths were still pretty common until the early 90’s
I thought it was a weird idea anyway, since every phonebooth I have ever seen is see-thru. Was there a time when they were just opaque boxes or something without any kind of window?
Supes can move so quickly he’s all changed and his work suit is neatly folded and tucked into its pouch while anyone watching would just see a brief blur. But he’d rather nobody bumps into him while he’s doing it.
What if you saw Kent go in and Superman come out? Wouldn’t that be slightly suspicious?
I think part of the appeal was, every kid was thinking exactly that. “I would be the one who figured out Superman’s secret identity!”
I like this explanation better than the official reasoning.
