He would be a centrist, his views would straddle along both of the major party lines and IMO would not identify himself with either one.

That's my view exactly

Not really, I've actually enjoyed it. And I'm saying this as a long time Superman fan. Basically the comic read like a movie and you know what? It would've been a better Superman movie than Superman Returns, quite frankly.

As I'm sure some of you already know, I'm a big Superman fan, I drew some Superman art for my Deviantart account

Actually there are a lot of good Post Byrne Clark Kent stories, such as Kurt Buseik/Geoff Johne's Up, Up, Up And Away, which is one of the better Superman without his powers stories, and a beginning of a great run from Busiek, there's also the final 3 Superman/ Batman issues, which involved Clark investigating a murder in Gotham, the first half of Birthright was a really good Clark Kent story.

I'm going to miss the marriage and the Kents being alive, which gave us some nice moments between Clark and his loved ones. People assume Clark Kent being assertive is exclusive to his Post Crisis counterpart, which it isn't really true, as that was a quality the Pre-Crisis Clark Kent had at times.

One time, when I mentioned that I like Superman more than Batman, one guy acted like I offended him

Nope, not even close to being the most hated.

The Silver Age does have ton of fun stories but the only bad thing about that era was Lois Lane, I dislike Silver Age Lois Lane with a passion, especially when you compare how she was portrayed in the Golden Age, heck GA Lois had her own short series within the Superman titles where she took down criminals herself without Superman's help.

I actually enjoyed the Conduit arc and I'm also a fan of the marriage and the Kents being alive. My biggest gripe with Byrne's Man of Steel is the screwing up of the Legion timeline, a concept I was always a fan of, people defend that saying that Clark getting his powers in his late teens meeting Legion couldn't work, well Smallville had Clark meet up with Legion members and it followed Byrne's concept of Clark developing his powers late, you don't need him being Superboy for him to meet up with the legion. I don't fully blame Byrne for that, I blame DC Editorial for not realizing the screw up it would cause the Legion of Superheroes titles.

As for the Clark vs Superman issue, I've always considered both to be a part of Clark's identity, you have the mild mannered farmboy moving to the big city, you have the ultimate hero who inspires all and you have the last son of Krypton angle. All 3 to me parts of his true identity, an alien raised on a farm with a loving couple with a desire to help others. It's that simple really.
