Lois knowing about Clark...could they

[Prison Mike]

I will be so pissed if Lois hints to Clark about knowing his secret and he acts like she's crazy and then whispers to Martian Manhunter "psst, mind wipe her please"...

 

[MJZ]

No one here seems to have mentioned that Clark kissed Lois knowing that she would figure out that the Blur was actually him.

It was his way of revealing to Lois that he is the Blur.

I guess you have to be a romantic to see that one. :heart:

Yeah I was gonna say, the fact that she says "Clark!" after the kiss makes it apparent that she knows the secret. Couldn't make it anymore clear than that...

 

[Webhead2006]

man its going to suck all summer waiting to see what direction they ultimately decide to go with this whole lois thing.

At this point, the only way for Lois to not remember that the Blur is Clark is to have Clark tell MM to mind wipe her. BUT, the reason they won't do that, IMO, is because that's an idea that was touched upon in the AoS. Lana berated Clark for purposely mind wiping Chloe.

Lois knows the secret now. Clark knowingly let her in on the secret.

Season 10 is going to kick so much ass that it'll be ridiculous.

I actaully think it's one of those changes to the mythos that works better in a more realistic setting. That lois had a love triangle between herself, Clark, and this superpowered vigilante she’s never seen. That makes more sense than lois not recognizing that Clark and Superman are the same person when she’s staring him in the face. I hope Smallville sticks to their guns with this and lets her even help him develop the superman id and “nerdy” Clark, or something like that.

 

[Webhead2006]

smallville clark was probably never going to be "nerdy"/goofy as reeve's clark kent persona. Sure they love to take things from the reeve films, but smallville's clark has been his own thing, sorta like how cain's clark was more regular guy type of persona.

I liked how in the beginning of the series they played around with the bumbling persona for Clark being an after effect of all the kryptonite around Smallville (and Lana's necklace).

They didn't do a lot with it, but I did enjoyed that twist on it.
I always thought that was a great way to establish that Clark was weak or less-than-super to those around him setting up his future disguise.

 

[Superfreak]

Could they just be setting things up that Lois knows Clarks secret? I mean this past few years storylines are very similar to the first few years of the mythos Lois & Clark. Smallville has adapted many of the plot points of the mythos.

it's been leaning in that direction ever since they introduced Lois way back when. It was when she told Clark that she would never reveal someones secret, until they were themselves ready to reveal said secret.

I understand she knows it was Clark after the kiss, but does anyone else see them possibly going with this angle. I don't want to see it but what if they have Lois see Clark badly wounded after being stabbed and use that angle to make her have doubts about him being the Blur. Again I hope it doesnt happen it will just piss more of us off.

Yeah i kind of doubt they'd use that as a cop-out since she said that to Zod. "How can you be the blurr, i saw you dying" etc, then zod says his powers healed him. So she knows that someone with those powers can still be hurt, b/c she's seen Zod both injurred and using his powers in the finale.

 

[elgaz]

I'd be very disappointed if they did a cop-out now.

At this stage, Lois knows -

- Clark has some type of secret which he hasn't told her
- He had diagrams of Kryptonian symbols and the book of Rao in the diary which Dr Swann gave him
- She recognised him from the kiss
- Zod told her Clark wasn't who he said he was

....... and in my perception at least, there was a few seconds of realisation after the kiss where she seemed to work out it was Clark and everything added together - it was written on her face. I would imagine at that point in time she was piecing together all the times Clark disappeared, all the times something strange happened and he was involved, etc.

I think the writers really have a great opportunity to have some fun here and introduce a new dynamic to the Lois/Clark relationship. She knows he's the Blur, but chooses to keep this to herself - and Clark doesn't know she knows. That can make for some great moments when he comes up with excuses as to why he has to disappear, or why he has to cancel a date, etc. And then later in the season, maybe even the finale, Lois can admit she knew for some time.

Otherwise, if they choose to have a mind-wipe or some other plot device and Lois ends up not knowing again, we're back where we were at the start of Season 10. With the added difficulty that Lois - in her mind at least - has now kissed someone other than Clark. Is that cheating?

 

[Bad Superman]

I think she should know about Clark. They've spent enough time together, she's known him since Smallville before moving to Metropolis, so I wouldn't mind if she already knows when he makes his first appearance.

 

[Cracker Jack]

I think they've spent enogh time on the blur. It's time for him to fly.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea there is a few different ways they can play with her knowing, and hopefully she doesnt just get a simple mind wipe.

Great points! I totally forgot about those scenarios

 

[SpideyVille]

Maybe Clark gave Lois the "Kiss of Forgetting" or what it was that Lester came up with for the cop-out at the end of Superman II.

Donner's turning back time was also a cop-out.

i agree totally.

it's a shame when people would rather remember the films than the comics.

For the zillionth time: that NEVER HAPPENED. Watch SIV. (I'd never tell anyone to watch SIV again, unless they missed something so painfully obvious)

as for the thread: SV will certainly cop out the Lois knows angle. They've done it so many times before, and they will do it again. I cite blue kryptonite used in the finale, after spending the entire season building up to a superbattle.

 

[Webhead2006]

well we dont know for sure yet superfreak. there is so many different directions they can go. Hey sure it was blue k in the zod/clark fight, but at least we got a decent fight out of them out of the non fight last season with doomsday.

 

[Prison Mike]

what happened in Superman IV that would negate the super kiss at the end of Superman II?

 

[Superfreak]

"You don't even know my name Lois"..."Kal'el. I remember everything" Lois Lane in SIV. She chooses to be ignorant of the fact that Clark is Superman. It's not that she doesn't know. It's especially clear at the beginning of SIV (at which point it is still a decent movie, not until later does the movie start to suck) that Lois is speaking to Clark, but talking to Superman. "Clark, you KNOW Superman will do the right thing" etc.


in the end, it's nothing more than a kiss from a man who is more than just a man, it's a kiss from a Superman. It knocks her off her feet, but it doesn't wipe her memory.

 

[Dark Raven]

It seems to me the moment was intentionally left ambiguous. They kissed. He left. She said, "Clark." While I personally hope that they will allow Lois to know Clark's secret, I am willing to bet that the writers intended that after the passionate kiss with the Blur, her thoughts immediately went to Clark, which demonstrates that she "chooses" him.

In Spider-Man 1 and 2, Spidey kissed MJ both as Spidey and Peter. At the end of Spider-Man 1, MJ seemed to have figured out his identity, but by Spider-Man 2, she wasn't sure, and needed to try it again to be certain she wasn't imagining things. Maybe in the same way, Lois won't be sure, and thought that her mind was playing tricks on her, and she begins to rationalize things away.
