How much does he know? Did he help Clark get his job at the Planet?
 
I personally don't think Perry will know Clark is Superman.
 
Goyer:

In our minds there are people in Smallville who know Superman’s secret as well [as Lois], Pete Ross seems to know, there’s probably a couple dozen people who know and we thought it would be interesting if they’re protective of him.

We were able to sidestep the issue of the ludicrous glasses disguise in this film but going forwards, we’re going to find ourselves in a sticky wicket. Zack and I have definitely talked about “Okay, hmm, this will be interesting.” Clearly Perry White and Steve Lombard see Lois kissing Superman at the end of the film. Perry’s not an idiot. Moving forward, he’s probably going to say to Lois “What’s up with that?” We’re definitely going to have to go through some story gymnastics.

I don't think it's necessary for Perry to know Clark is Superman, besides Superman and Lois were a nice distance away when they kissed and I believe he was angled in such a way that there was a clear view of his face.
 
I don't think Perry knows, Goyer didn't say he did in that comment either I think that comment was simply regarding the fact that Lois kissed Superman and maybe if she hooks up with Clark it would make him question it. Him and Steve Lombard were stood quite far away.

Perry early on made it seem he was a smart, compassionate guy - he saw the two kiss, he will wonder how that pans out. We don't know the circumstance of how Clark got the job - my initial reaction is lois putting a word in to perry and then going over his CV/resume and giving him a temp job based on lois's suggestion.

Perry will think - hmmm, smalville, where zod landed... good looking guy, dark hair - looks similar to the guy lois is pinning over - this can work to our (the planet's) advantage.

Perry knows... i think the dynamic of lois knowing, and perry secretly knowing will make a fun triangle.
 
I don't think he knows, he didn't look like he did at the end plus if he knew I think they'd have given some sort of hint.
 
Maybe he "knows" but pretends he doesn't know.

Clark: I need to go reporting on... uh... base jumping.
Perry: Base jumping? That like parachuting?
Clark: Kinda.
Perry: Look, Clark... you don't tell me what's going on, I don't have to lie if I'm asked. But don't think of me as stupid.
Clark: ........

Since Clark was brought on as a stringer, that is a free lancer who gets paid by the story, I don't think Perry knows much. No if he catches Lois snogging Clark when he has only been there a day, Perry might began to suspect.
 
We gonna do a thread on Lennix next?

Well, we don't have confirmation that Lennix is returning, we do for Fishburne.

Anyway, while Perry White may have been not been all that major a character in MOS, he is very big in the Superman mythos. Although maybe I say this because I know it most from L&C and he was big there. Thinking about it, he had a bigger role there than in STAS or STM.

On the other hand back in "The Adventures of Superman" Perry had a big role too. I really want to see him used more in MOS 2.
 
He was good in MOS and i hope he has a bigger part in the sequel. those are all my thoughts on perry white
 
I have always had a soft spot for Laurence Fishburne.His potrayal of Morpheus was legendary
 
I hope we get more DP scenes in this film. Lots of potential for great dialogue. And it's also one place we could visit to quickly bring more character development and be reintroduced to Superman's MoS world before obviously the plot has to move along to other things.

I think it would be cool if Perry could've been investigating something himself in this scene. Like sometimes you get J. Jonah Jameson going out on a lead himself even though he's the editor.
