Part of why I could never get into Smallville was because it was the "pre-Superman" days o Clark.
I agree, it is infinately more satisfying to see Clark balance being Clark AND Superman. And it was gratifying that LnC showcased just how important Lois was in helping him achieve and maintain that balance.
I admit, I've never been a comics girl. So I don't know much of the Superman stories outside of the movies and LnC. But this whole "new" spin on Superman reeks something awful to me.
