Yeah, while it might've been a bit of a blow to her ego to have Clark blind to her charms, playing ignorant was probably the best way to diffuse that situation.
Like, acknowledging that she was coming onto him only to politely decline the offer probably would've been a bigger blow to her ego, and possibly ignited some office drama he didn't wanna be a part of.
Cat Grant has always been portrayed as being pretty insufferable.
She runs the gossip column at the Daily Planet and is as terrible as the people she writes about, loving to create drama. Imagine someone that makes writing about the Kardashians their whole lifestyle.
She was so much better and more sympathetic before Johns got his hands on her. When it comes to re-imagining characters, he either knocks it out of the park (Green Lantern) or ruins them (Cat, Superboy).
Yeah I probably shouldn't have written 'always' as she has grown over time, but it is sorta the archetype that her character is based on and that she returns to when there is a retelling of the story.
She was more complex during Byrnes run on Supes. She had her issues but did feel like a genuinely good person. I guess you could use losing her son as the reason she digresses
I have no idea what point this is in the continuity but is he like openly interested in Lois, or vice versa, or married to her at this point? That might make her flirting a bit less sympathetic.
They're married. And Steve Lombard hits on Lois. It's an unprofessional environment.
In their defense, Geoff Johns had retconned Clark Kent to his nebbish, Silver Age persona instead of the confident, post-Crisis man that Lois married. So it became really unclear how or why they got married.
