Well you got me there DJ I didn't think about that. Then again I got the feeling that he wanted to make sure she had gotten home safe from her date with Luthor, not really that he wanted to check out her private conversation. Maybe it's because it's written darker but in SR he seemed just like the creepy ex-boyfriend. Especially since he does his level best to wreck her relationship with Richard.
Or maybe I'm just biased.
To me it's not so much that he got a kid out of wedlock either, we have plenty of fic were that happened, (think Sue's FB).
But I would expect fatherhood to mean the world to him. In SR it doesn't seem to be a big deal, all he says is that "he is always around" For what? Nothing about shared caretaking, coming clean with Lois etc.
Anyway, the pre crisis superman concept, where Clark is the disguise feels so two-dimensional. I never really got why Superman is so nice to people, he just is. I would think that is blatantly obvious when you put the post and pre crisis concept side by side.
But evidently not. I would have thought those who liked the comic books would have liked LCTNAOS, but they hardly mention it. OTOH, they don't slag it either, like smallville.
