This Superman is mindful of the Silver-age version from the Lois Lane comic books. The one who used to pull elaborately cruel jokes on Lois for her own good, to teach her a lesson.
Such as the one where Clark and his good buddy Bruce Wayne in an effort to discourage Lois' attentions allow her to 'discover' that Bruce Wayne is actually Superman. Bruce romances her, and Lois, thinking he's Superman, is enthusiastically in to it. So much so that she accepts his marriage proposal (it took about a week).
Then when everyone is gathered at the church and the vows are about to take place, Superman flys in to join the porceedings. Lois, seeing Superman there, realizes that Bruce is not Superman is forced to call off the wedding, humiliating herself in front of friends and family.
Afterward Clark and Bruce have a good laugh at Lois' expense.
It was one of the most disfunctional relationships in all of fiction, yet you still got the impression that they were meant to be together.
