But do you really think that the natural progression from Clark Kent the farmhand is a god flying around the universe in blue tights and a red cape? That doesn't follow for me. I think Clark decided that the disguise of Superman was needed to allow as much separation from his true self (the farmboy) and the superhero as he could possibly create. The costume is used as a distraction.
I think it's become impossible for him to be that farmboy anymore, so we might only see him express that side of him, inwardly, as he's in costume. But I think there's still a distinction between the hero and the man.
