On thing i really liked about Lois & Clark was that they made Clark the suave confident one, and supes the one who was slightly unsure about himself.
As Clark explained it to Lois after (he said: Superman can't to that. - she said: What do you mean Clark, you are Superman)
"No Lois, Superman is just what I do. Clark is who I am."
He's been Clark all his life. Superman is the disguise. And it's his humanity that makes him a hero, not the sub-adolescent power fantasy of this script.
