Well yeah they are kind of stuck a bit there. As long as she's reporting I like that it's not gone but I just want it on record she's a reporter and if Lois is just LI right now and not even having a reporter arc (when did she ever), I'm not mad about that.
I guess as far as SV comics goes but it can set a precedent there for DC that people can roll with it and that it's not too radical that people can't understand. I hope that Miller has enough control to do it because I really think he wants to and what he wrote in Masquerade was so painfully accurate about Chloe, who she really is, and what she wants that I just think he gets it...if only DC will let him do it is more my question.
I think they're done body swaps or magical things like Chloe-looking-like-Nois or trapped in her body or something. I think that it'd be an important step in Chlois even if it got legitimized first in an AU title. I dunno, I've been thinking more about it since summer's post and even if it's very late and not many people read comics compared to who watched SV at the end, let alone in its heyday, it would do A LOT to make me feel better.
I haven't been following Lois much but from what I've seen her reporting has consisted of a press conference and more stated attributes along the lines of "she's the best reporter in Metropolis!" That may change but I think BQM has also made a comment that scenes of people typing don't really move a comic story along, which makes me doubt he'll spend many pages showing us the reporting of any of the characters for whose job it ostensibly is.
Had a talk about TDKR with a Marvel fanboy I work with and we were talking about how DC tends to have more of a multiplicity of characters for various superhero names than DC does: there've been different Robin's, different Flashes, different Batgirls, of course many different Green Lanterns. Supergirl's had probably a half-dozen different monikers associated with her power-set / relationship to Superman, at least one of which had a considerably different origin story from the original SG. So it's not as if there's no precedent in the comics themselves for messing with the "who" of various stories.
And in that sense, if they did introduce it, doing in a comic vs. on the show may lend more legitimacy to the idea. It's like there's a wall in some minds separating "mythos" from "non-mythos" and mythos stories only exist on paper.
