It does feel absurd. Superman's whole thing is meant to be about looking out for everyone, right? Stopping buildings from coming down but also rescuing cats out of trees, giving a depressed person a hug, etc.

Why can't Clark see the beauty and wonder in the small stuff too?

I mean, the man's career was basically just tanked, by his wife of all people. I think he's allowed to be disappointed, professionally.

He's either got to be happy treading water reporting dog shows for as long as Lois is editor, or he's going to have to quit and work elsewhere. That's really the only two solutions here, and the first one assumes that he'll get his beat back when/if Perry returns.

Does he even need to be working at the Planet, though? For the passion of it, he could work for an indie publication, and for the cost-of-living, surely Lois' paycheck would cover both of them. Maybe he could even take up a hobby!

This is barely a problem. If it were on "Am I The Asshole" I'd find it childish.

he's a quality reporter though, why should have to minimize himself because Lois got a promotion?

[numeronone]

What's minimizing about taking the focus somewhere else?

[jlbarnett]

the Daily Planet is clearly positioned as the best paper in the DCU, so it would be a lesser paper. And taking up hobby? How insulting

Clark actually cares bout his journalism career

Lois said it was temporarily until she figured something out, and in the mean time, she is giving another reporter a fair chance.
