I think being Clark Kent is just as important to the character. I would really be upset if he has little to no role, but I hear the trailers are only the tip of the ice berg. Either way, I am looking forward to this movie. I think Superman Returns kind of gets bashed for all the wrong reasons. Creatively, it wasn't the way to go about it, but I don't call it a bad movie. I think if it came out in 83 instead of Superman 3, it would have been great, but Superman did change after 1986. I think Lois and Clark did a great job of capturing a good fraction of those qualities. I like how it made Clark Kent more of an average Joe and with some sex appeal (in a 90s sense of course) instead of a bumbling nerd. Will Henry Cavill's Clark Kent also be like the New 52 Clark Kent? Will he be a bumbling nerd? Or will they make him an every day guy?
Probably not the bumbling nerd.
Personally, I've always hated that representation of Clark Kent. It makes no sense. I've read many instances in the comics of Clark Kent wanting to be accepted by the world for who he is as a person, and not for how much weight he can lift. That's part of why he even does the whole "regular Joe with a job" thing. So that he can just be himself.
And from that perspective, why would he go around pretending to be this bumbling dope that he really, really is not?
I've always had a distaste for the old flicks very much in part due to that aspect of their interpretations of the character.
