Something similar happened in a 1987 comic. Lex Luthor used a machine to gather facts about Superman and the machine came to the conclusion that Clark Kent is Superman.
But Luthor simply rejects the idea, thinking the machine must have got it wrong because the idea is preposterous, and he as a person obviously knows better to distinguish between Superman and a mere human like Clark.
I imagine something similar would happen with Lois here, with her dismissing the facial recognition as an error.
damn lex for a super evil genius ur a fuckn moron
I attribute it more to just plain old arrogance and stubborn pride than anything.
It’s pure projection really. If Lex had the power of a Greek god, he would never pretend to be anything less. So he can’t imagine anybody pretending to be Clark fucking Kent if they had better options.
Even in the recent story arc where the world finds out Clark Kent is Superman, Lex still kind of refuses to believe it.
okay so theres an episode of whats new scooby doo where the gang goes home on valentines day, and i guess the studio really wanted to avoid the implication that daphne and fred were sleeping together because daphne and velma live together and fred lives with shaggy and scooby
but that attempt at avoiding anything risque backfired spectacularly because now it just seems like daphne and velma are a comfortably domestic couple and fred is trying to learn how to live with his boyfriends over excitable and really hungry great dane
It’s far cuter like this anyway.
OOOOOOOOOOOOH SNAP
CANON
i don’t have a source for this just a gut feeling, but doesn’t everyone in the gang call him “freddie” at some point?
which would imply that the entire gang is poly and dating
If any group in pop culture is poly, it’s definitely the errant kids from the 60s with a groovy hippie van
