Did anyone have a clue how long after the final scene when Clark shows up as a stringer at the Daily Planet is from when the big battle happened.
Part of me wants it to be a while since it makes Clark getting higher more realistic. However since he is a stringer, he probably ran a few articles in smaller papers, and is now going big time. He is still only a stringer so he does not need too much experience, so a few months will work.
It has to be a few months, because Steve is asking Lois and then Jenny to go out to a sports event. I would assume all sports events in Metropolis would be cancelled until some rebuilding was done. So it was a few months. Long enough that rebuilding has started but not much more.
