I thought your birthdays were fun. Nothing wrong with casual. I agonized over what to get you last year, though.

[What was a good present to get that didn't also scream 'I'm in love with you'?]

I love you, and 100% same.

[thisisontherecord]

Sorry to report that I do not, as a rule, agonize over gifts, because I am not, generally speaking, great at picking out winning ones. Food and drink is easier. Or gift cards.

Oh god Clark we have to give a ten year old a whole Christmas, does he believe in Santa Claus still?

( Lois stop getting off topic this is a sweet romantic sexy day he's setting up! )

[newsbeat]

I know you weren't agonizing over my birthday present because you weren't the one psyching yourself up to reveal your secret identity and ask me out. Not sure which of those was more intimidating.

That's...crap. Maybe Robin can tell us. He'd probably know.

[Yeah but now Clark is worrying about it too!!!]

[thisisontherecord]

Can't you ask the Batman who knows him? Bruce has got to have an idea.

[newsbeat]

...Bruce?

[thisisontherecord]

I'll go over how I landed on that once we're face to face. Granted, you do have x-ray vision. You could very likely verify were you so inclined. I just find our fishbowl circumstances make certain trends, tendencies, and off-and-on network facts add up in surprising ways that wouldn't be self-evident back home.

[newsbeat]

Bruce Wayne?

[Yes yes, he read the rest of that, but he's trying to square the circle here.]

[thisisontherecord]

Yes, Bruce Wayne. Because Clark Kent is also entirely believable as Superman at all times when he's bumbling about in hypnoglasses at the Daily Planet.

[newsbeat]

That's different!

[thisisontherecord]

Yes, because you're not bankrolled by a multi-billion dollar corporation. You're the living embodiment of charity work done for the sake of sheer love of people.

Also you're more or less invulnerable, and we know now Batman isn't. Money makes a lot of that playing field get more even. Lex Luthor just made that obvious. So... Can't two actors acknowledge each other's game?

[newsbeat]

Okay, fine. All right. Bruce Wayne is Batman.

[He is somewhat mollified by the fact that Lois said he has acting game.]

[thisisontherecord]

Thank you.

... You're still going to x-ray his mask to check, aren't you.

[newsbeat]

Well now I am, but only because you figured it out and I want to confirm. I didn't before because he didn't give me a reason to, so it would have been cheating.

[thisisontherecord]

I do love the fact you have your own set of ethics for using inherent abilities of yours. Just throwing that out there.

[newsbeat]

I love that you love it, but I also feel weird accepting credit for something it seems like anyone should do when it comes to that sort of thing.

[thisisontherecord]

Do you want me to list out people and comparisons? Not even excluding myself from that list if I had the same skillset, there are definitely things I'd be tempted to Know versus taking on faith.

[newsbeat]

Oh yeah? Like what?

[thisisontherecord]

[newsbeat]

:(

[thisisontherecord]

I'm going to go check on the state of my lingerie now. See you later Clark.
