If I remember correctly, post-Crisis Clark did write the occasional murder mystery novel.

Silver Age Clark was a writer beyond being a reporter as well.
Didn't know that. I'm most familiar with Post-Crisis Clark, and a bit Bronze Age Clark. The latter I never saw as anything other than a journalist and/or news anchor, and the few Silver Age comics I've read didn't show Clark doing much of anything beyond insisting to Lois that he wasn't Superman.
Maybe Clark and Lois are just farmers now. Wake up every day and go milk the cows. Feed the chickens. Water the corn fields Take other cows to the Slaughterhouse. Pay off government officials to look the other way with some the pesticides they use. Make sure the workers are taken care off and the bunkhouse is stocked in food.

What would happen if Clark tried to milk a cow at Superman speed?
It would be an udder disaster.
Brand spanking new trailer (premiered nine minutes ago on YouTube):
The classic rock puts me in mind of Supernatural.
Redditor 'roebear' has seen an incomplete version of the pilot (no final VFX or score), and has been teasing details on the Superman reddit page.

Ugh. I'm already sick of Superman's whiny teenage offspring and Lois Lane's lack of support for Superman's responsibilities as a hero.
I'm having flashbacks to that awful Man of Steel movie in which Clark's adopted parents taught him that he doesn't owe the world anything.
I'm wondering how much of the rewritten, post-Crisis timeline will be a factor for Clark. He was surprised to learn he had two kids after Crisis, right? So does he not remember his kids' histories/lives? The kids seem to remember seeing (and/or having interactions with?) Superman so does he remember that too?
Does Lois not remember the pre-Crisis history? Or did Martian Manhunter do the whammy on her to0? Do the other heroes (Flash, etc) remember both timelines? I can't remember.
My concern is that the writers will just ignore it to keep it simple.

I don't think that's going to be these characters. Certainly Hoechlin's version to date has been the virtual antithesis of Snyderman in every way.
My guess? They won't ignore it completely, but they also won't spend excessive time noodling over it and belaboring it. It's not actually a story so much as it is convoluted comicbook self-abuse, and they'd be better off disposing of it efficiently so they can get to telling stories about characters, instead of concepts.
This version of Superman was part of the reset; all his pre-Crisis memories are second-hand, provided by J'onn. The apparent surprise when Lois mentioned their sons having trouble was probably to "trouble," not "sons," in-universe, though it was meant to play the other way around to the audience.
Ohh, then you might be signing up for the wrong series, since whining teens, etc. are found in almost every CW (and its predecessor) series ever produced.
Man of Steel was great in presenting parents realistically warning their son about the way humans would really see and treat an overpowered alien, instead of the majority of Superman adaptations, where he was Daddy/camp counselor loved by all out of the gates, which was such a ridiculous concept that even the Superman titles' editors at DC worked to change that in the late 1960s.

A preemptive request to all to avoid untagged spoilers in this thread, as these reviews start to come out and possibly spill some beans.
"Remember son... the permanence of a loved one's death is not even close to as important as keeping a secret for hopefully a long time, but probably not forever."
