I think it always goes so much better when Lois knows right away that Clark is Superman. That was the biggest mistake ever, and I loved that Lois knew him well enough to recognize him as Superman right away.
And the best thing John Byrne ever did was to bring back Martha and Jonathan from the dead!!
Those midwest values have so shaped the person that he is.
As an aside, and I deviate, sorry, last year I was driving across country, and I stayed overnight in Hays, Kansas. I stopped for breakfast and on the radio was Five for Fighting's "Superman - it's not easy". How ironic to hear that in Kansas!!
Looking forward to lucky #13!
