You'd think that Clark would be better at keeping his own secret that he's been hiding his entire life. "It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)

Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Yeah, this is one of those eps where you have the urge to chase them with a 2x4 to beat some common sense into them. Great untwist.

They fought a lot in public -when he was Superman. I guess it made for a 'funny juxtaposition' but it was annoying to me, as a viewer.

Makes me want to just slap some sense into them. This is so much more sensible. Thanks for taking up the challenge!

It really seemed like once Lois found out Clark was Superman, and especially after they got married, they got really sloppy with his identity. "It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
