FARCE: Lois realizes that she and her boyfriend, Clark, are from two different worlds and that he’s not the man she thought he was. He’s Superman, and living with a superhero isn’t all it’s cracked up to be! The couple has to live paycheck to paycheck in an apartment with bad plumbing because Superman has no income, and when somebody tries to pay him he turns the money down. He continuously monitors hotspots around the globe, disappears for weeks at a time, and is always in danger. With Superman too busy solving other people’s problems to focus on their relationship issues, Lois has decided to end their relationship over dinner at a restaurant, but not before Superman unexpectedly departs to save a bus full of middle school students.
