Spoilers "Superman & Lois" Season 2

What did she lie about?

Kids call it DTR.

Define The Relationship.

Its a conversion a couple/group has when they are (entry level) serious, to establish rules.

So they both promised to be monogamous and faithful, with a verbal contract, or they defined the relationship otherly, which may allow for random exploration of other peoples mouths.

If they didn't DTR, then they were DTF with anyone, and she did nothing wrong.

But what sort of idiot doesn't say at the very least "I don't want to date other people" when they want the person they are casually dating to start seriously dating them, or they'll eventually wind up raising someone else's baby?

(Which can get confusing because DTF also means Down To F%ck.)

Uh...you know DTF is not "Define the Relationship", right?
 
It might have been a lie but a white lie. She always planned to tell Jordan. She just had to work up the courage to do it because she didn't want to hurt his feelings so it wasn't a lie to cover up something dark or terrible.

After four years of Trump...

When you promise to do something, and then don't do that thing you promised to do, that's a lie.

"I promise to do the dishes before you get home from work mum"

"I promise to clean my car ever Sunday mum."

"I promise to stop smoking cigarettes forever mum."

"I promise to be faithful because we are going steady mum."

But the Cavill version is not only recent, but visually, its clear where the Superman and Lois shots are taking its cues from.
Perhaps. Or the presentation of Superman flying has just evolved. Similar to how Superman never returned to the jump-into-the-air takeoffs of George Reeves after the 1978 film.
 
Or she could be the target from someone from the future who wanted to know my identity…
That’s a very specific scenario. I think that’s actually happened. :)

It works the other way around too.

Doctor Octopus was in love with Aunt May, so he went out of his way not to kill Peter, for years and years, because he didn't want to make May sad.

Also...

Lex Luthor was in love with Lois, so he went out of his way not to kill Clark, for years and years, because he didn't want to make Lois sad.

What was Norman's deal when he killed Gwen Stacey? Was he fathering children with Gwen, just because he knew that every child he had with Gwen would hurt him more than the last?

Joker killed Lois, Jimmy and Perry on Earth 78. Earth Prime/39 Clark probably knows all about that.
 
Aren't the kids like 16? I think some leeway is allowed in their relationships and she was honest about what had happened. Sorry Jordan, you may not have found the one and only love of your lifetime on your first swing in high school.
14 going on 15. Sarah is going to have a Quinceanera

Lex has never gone out of his way to not kill Superman outside the odd specific circumstance story.

Obviously you're right, but I was referring to Action Comics 850-something which was co-written by Richard Donner, who probably had not read a comic book in 50 years.
 
Does Super Hypnosis work on Kryptonians?

It's not cool to program your children, but isn't "parenting" just another word for programming?

(Shades of Identity Crisis, but Lois didn't mind at the end of Superman II.)
 
It's the Earth Prime body that's been hijacked by the earth 39 consciousness.

Nope. E-39 Superman wasn't one of the Paragons, he's one of the secondary characters who just got the pre-Crisis wikipedia history downloaded into his mind from J'onn. His soul/personality/what-have-you is indigenous to Earth-Prime, just like his body.

They were rather vague about whether the precrisis memories overwrote the native meories, or coexisted side by side peacefully.
