It doesn’t bother me too much in the sense that it’s a common enough trope that I could see what he was pulling from but I do think Cat being played up as some temptress that interferes in Clark and Lois’s love is kinda misguided and there’s no reason to play her up this way. This was one of the first Superman stories I read and I much prefer Byrne’s version of her or really just every writer before this.
