I'm guessing that Police Commissioner of Gotham is an appointed position.

I thought you were pointing out that nobody made the connection between the two lives the characters lead. That’s why I had Superman, puts on glasses, becomes Clark Kent. None of the people who worked with Clark and also knew Superman ever recognized it.
It’s just me making fun of a simple disguise like glasses, and you can hide from your friends :-)
I misunderstood what you were going for.
My bad :-)

no, you were right. Lois is just demonstrating that Superman's claim makes no sense to her (assuming that she doesn't know Supe's alter ego is CK).

Oops! I see exactly what you’re saying, lol :-)
I didn’t make the connection to the newer Lois Lane, my head is still stuck in the 1960’s :-)
