he looked up at her suspiciously. “Charlotte says you can get Hans back?” he asked.
Get Hans back? They need someone to play Barry?
“I said I could solve your Superman problem,” Lois clarified. “I didn't say anything about Hans.”
Ah, yes. That sounds more like it.
“All right, what is your idea? Write Superman out of the movie? Hide him like the shark in Jaws?”
Also, he could swim around in a lagoon where the local college girls go skinny dipping and be…playful?
Lois glanced at Charlotte. “Tell you what,” she said to Les, “how about you and Mr. Byrne join me in Perry's office, and I'll explain everything in detail?”
How they could just use Keith and nobody would even notice until the end credits roll?
Les frowned in confusion. “In *whose* office?” he asked. “Don't tell me Superman hired someone *else* for this film!”
Perry *White*! The *editor* of the Daily Planet during the Kryptonian invasion. He not much of a history buff, is he?
LES: I just write a story about a stud saving two well-built maiden.
Lois couldn't help but feel a little disconcerted at how easy that had been, but she pushed the thought aside and started off towards the editor's office.
That’s from Clark’s side of the family.
I've recently spoken to the head of Superman's family, and she has given me permission to tell you both the biggest secret you will ever hear in your lives.
/scratches head/ No wait a moment there, missy.
LOIS: ‘Head Missy’ if you please.
Also, did she just refer to them having a family. Isn’t that kind of divulging a secret?
LOIS: And your point being, considering…?
but will *completely* change this movie!”
BYRNE:
LES:
“I need you to make sure that the blame for spilling this secret falls squarely on m—er, the family head,” said Lois. “This was strictly her decision.”
She hoping that being an elderly lady will save her from the vengeance of her gran-gran-kids?
“You might also need to get rid of Charlotte,” said Lois.
What? *Why*!
“I don't want her taking any heat for this,” said Lois. “It's a pretty controversial call.”
A look of realization appeared on Mr. Byrne's face. “Is this about that paternity scandal, years back?” he asked.
The what-what?
“She's about the right age,” Les mused.
“That's it, isn't it?” Mr. Byrne went on, bouncing in his seat. “The charges were true after all, and our own Charlotte Carlyle McLeod is the illegitimate—”
CHARLOTTE: But my mommy Lane-Kent swore she only took daddy’s cherry after they got married!
“Do you think I'm going to fire my best actress just to get a juicier script?” Les demanded.
I thought Julia was the one with the bigger…talents?
“If it were anyone else, then maybe, but I've been working with that girl since she was just a skinny kid looking for a break.
Awww…he *is* a Perry!
you tell me whatever this secret of yours is, and I'll do whatever *I* think is best for Charlotte.”
Lois met his gaze and held it. “Deal.”
It starts in a cornfield in Kansas....”

Edit:
So, how are they going to draw Charlotte back into this and either, not let her know that Keith has taken over SM's role or get her into the plan?
That one's easy. Just have Keith wear glasses and slick his hair back when he's Superman. Charlotte won't even realize they're the same person. After all, it's in her genes.
