I wanted Lois to make the decision to return to Metropolis rather than have Clark come for her - so that the decision would be a difficult one and also an active, rather than a passive one. She's not "rescued" by Clark - an action that would have made her decision to return too easy. Also I wanted to show that Lois is more than just the woman who loves and is loved by Clark Kent.
She's Lois Lane - hope that makes sense.
It makes excellent sense, Carol. As a Lois fan, and as a feminist who believes that a woman most certainly
should be more than just Adam's rib, I love your explanation as to why Lois makes the decision to return on her own, rather than having Clark come for her. Thanks for making me see this. I liked this prequel right away, but I like it even better now.
