I just have this uneasy feeling that the same Clark we see now, will be the same Clark we see wearing the suit and flying off like Superman, i.e., it won't really have changed by then, it'll just the douchy Clark we all know and love wearing the suit, no difference.
They already think that he is the best hero ever. Well, 99.5 percent.
Week before last he admitted the biggest reason he loved Lois was that she was a poor speller. So alien is his arrogance that he can't imagine a mind so flawed (human) as not to learn easily and well every single world in the English lexicon... As if she's the only crap speller in America, as if she could even be pretending to be illiterate as some sort of sexy accoutrement to push up her personality like human men by large want to see boobs pushed up.
This completely plays into (comics) Luthor's theory that as pathetic as Clark Kent is, as massively flawed and deficient as "Clark" is, as bumbling as Clark Kent is, that this is exactly how little Kal-El thinks of the human scum he is forced to toil above.
Though it's always been the delight of the rich and so called intellectuals to "like a bit of the rough" because it's contraindicative to who they are allowed and expected to frakk.
The bigger the inner hillbilly, the harder his post modern futurtist dong of tomorrow rages... L'll Clark probably used to jerk off to 8 by 12s of Daisy May Moses.
