Actually I didn't take Superman's attitude as self satisfied. I took it that Superman doesn't now believe that he, by the definition of the law, committed second degree murder. What I did take out of this is that he learned that he is not perfect, but a flawed creature like every other living being on the earth, and that he can make mistakes that are not, however, necessarily evil. I think that the law and the people of Metropolis will forgive Superman long before he will completely forgive himself, if that ever can happen, and that he has learned that there were better ways to stop Bill Church than by killing.
Now I hope that he and Lois can work out some kind of understanding.
Waiting for the last part, Terry.
