abuseI always figured at least a few people should have suspected Clark was Superman. I like how this fic shows Perry both figuring it out and have the ethics to realize that telling the world 'Who is Superman' would be bad for a lot of people for no good reason.

abusePerry is a lot smarter than anyone else. And the part about Lex not going after Martha is probably true. Even he's not that dark. Others, eh. Who knows?

abuseThis is a really well-done one shot. I love how you started with the headline that we all dreaded seeing, "SUPERMAN IS DEAD", and follow Perry's deductive reasoning as he learns one of his best reporters is Superman. It wasn't a grandiose "Oh my GOD" moment, but it wasn't a simple "So, Kent is Superman" moment, it was just a great "Clark Kent is Superman for X, Y, and Z reasons and I've got to protect him".

Ok, I know I'm not saying this well at all, so I'll just stop. But this really is a great Perry White p.o.v. one-shot. Thanks for sharing it!

abuseKudos. This was really well done and a pleasure to read. You captured the chief's inner dialogue superbly and breathed life into a part of the movie that has had little written about it. Keep up the good work- I look forward to reading more of your stories.

abuseI don't think you're rusty! This was really good, addressing some things I'd been wondering myself. I haven't seen anyone else tackle this subject, so kudos on an original idea!

abuseNice piece.

I think you did a great job both with Perry's emotions and his thought processes.

It's only logical that Perry would figure it out. Before becoming editor he was a top reporter himself and could surely pick up the clues.

He's like Commissioner Gordon in the Batman comics -he's smart enough to have surely figured out the hero's secret identity, but doesn't say anything out of both respect and friendship.

I recall one issue of Batman from a few years ago when Bruce Wayne visits the "Planet" and talks with Perry (as Bruce is the paper's owner). He thinks that Perry is far too good a reporter not to have deduced Clark's secret, just like Jim Gordon is too sharp a cop not have figured out his own secret.

abuseThat was really good the way Perry followed the clues to the right conclusion.

So glad he made the right choices. You really should write more.
