It kinda makes perfect sense: no one will be looking for Supes' secret identity, because he will already have "come out" to the world. People will just assume he's Superman 24/7. Especially if Lois finds his "fortress" (the ship in the ice).

I do think there will be a Lois/Clark interaction, but I don't think Clark will have to be goofy… He'll just be rather invisible (think Lois &Clark: The New Adentures of Superman).

If you've read Birthright, you'll notice that there is still a Clark/Lois dynamic, just not a goofy one.

My only question is: will Supes be presented as the perfect man and only adored because of his powers by Lois while she ignores the heart in Clark? That's kinda how Lois & Clark started off. Superman was presented as the "mask" (what he could do) while Clark was presented as who he was (at his core). I admit I found this rendition compelling. Superman couldn't really have friends in the way that Clark did. When you look at it like that, Superman becomes the mask giving Clark the ability to be a savior while still being able to live a normal life.

Or will it still be that Clark is the mask and Superman is who he really is?

One of the things that always bugged me was Clark as the mask. I couldn't relate to him.

I guess we will see how it plays out. If they play it with Clark as the mask, then I hope they really explain it in a way that resonates so you connect with Superman.

I wonder if that will be the whole point of the trilogy. Karl-El starting off with making Clark the mask (perhaps to stay close to Lois). Superman is who he really is, but maybe he isn't prepared for all of the hero worship (which is alienating too… It's hard to be friends with someone you hoist on a pedestal). Then in the last movie he finally reconciles the two?
