It does raise an interesting question, though. What's going to happen when Clark becomes Superman and leaves for Metropolis? I mean, will Lois leave before him, forget what Clark was really like, and fall for the inept reporter routine? Or will she always secretly know that he's Superman, but not reveal her hand until the time is right?

Oh jeeeeeeeeez quit b!tching about it already. We were all told SMVL wasn't going to follow canon. Continually whining about the addition of Lois Lane isn't going to change it and it just makes you seem petty and small.
Im glad they added her, since his other love interest sucks.

No disrespect intended, and I'm saying this as a fan of the comics myself, but they didn't betray anything anymore than the comic has already "betrayed" itself. Superman is a really, really old comic, and a great one. Even looking within the confines of just the comics, you have the Crisis, which fundamentally altered Superman's history more significantly than Smallville ever did, and did so at the *expense* of his pre-crisis identity. Even in the comics you have various incarnations of Superman, all of which contradict the others in some way or another, and you know what? It doesn't matter. It's still Superman. People are going to take, and should take, creative license with the character. If they didn't, you'd be stuck with a rigid set of inane rules for what Superman 'has' to be, and there would be no guarantee that they'd even be particularly good rules. As it is, as long as Superman is portrayed as a good, honest person, I won't feel like he's been betrayed.
Go back and read the first Action Comics that Superman was in. Was that the best Superman incarnation that you can think of? Is that the one that you prefer? If not, then your concept of him is based on reimaginings, and as such it's pretty dumb to take offense when someone goes and reimagines that. And besides, look at comics in general. You think Frank Millers Batman gelled with the previous versions? Hell no, but it was certainly better than most of what came before it. And if the artistic license that allows that version to be created also allows for the creation of "Batman and Robin", then so be it. It's not that hard to ignore that garbage. Look at the original incarnation of the X-Men. Hint: they weren't *that* cool. It was subsequent incarnations that made them into what they are, although I'll be the first to admit that they ultimately went overboard in a lot of the Miller-esque aspects. Hell, look at Spiderman. They've written in and written out key parts of his storyline like it's their job. Basically, the point that you made is just a dumb argument, and I'm sick of hearing it.
If you don't like the characterization in Smallville, then that's fine. Don't watch, it's your prerogative. If you think that the whole characterization departs from what Superman actually is, then that would be a betrayal; however, Smallville did no such thing. If you're going to argue, however, that minor continuity changes betray the Superman history, then you're wrong.
borg That started out as a good episode but when clark replied when AM said "maybe we should start a junior lifeguard association" and Clark replied "I'm not ready to join the JLA" and the guy who played AM had a pure lantern jaw but i liked underwater effects for him. My mom is wondering which young justice leaguer they will bring onto the show. And samual8.5 is right about Erica, damn she is hot in a bikini.
