I never really noticed this trend before - interesting! I really love that Buffy had a team, but I didn't want everyone to know. I like the secrecy and think it's important to the character and identity of the hero... then again, I don't like the forced "OMG Lois/Juliette/etc. hasn't figured it out yet??" thing.

And I definitely didn't like... (bear with me, I'm going to try out this SPOILER feature even though this probably doesn't count as a true spoiler anymore...)
that in Man of Steel, it was SO FREAKIN' EASY for Lois to track Superman back to being Clark Kent. What the hell was that?? Alas, there were many things about that movie I didn't like, and some things I did. Sigh.
