Superman & Lois Addresses A Classic DC Speedster Complaint

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Superman and Lois season 3, episode 2, "Uncontrollable Forces."A frequent complaint of DC Comics' speedster coworkers was finally addressed in Superman and Lois season 3. Many modern superhero stories devoted to heroes like The Flash have explored the serious logistics of life in the fast lane, such as a speedster's increased metabolism requiring a special diet that meets the energy needs of someone running faster than sound. The Superman and Lois episode "Uncontrollable Forces" was more tongue in cheek, however, poking fun at a frequent trope in superhero shows like Smallville and the Arrowverse series.
The action of "Uncontrollable Forces" found Clark Kent and Lois Lane teaming up to investigate a judge that was believed to be in the pocket of crime boss Bruno Mannheim. It was the first time in years the reporter couple had worked together on a story together, though Lois ironically complained about her super-fast husband holding her up. She also reminded Clark about how the last time they worked together to ambush a corrupt official he forgot to turn on their tape recorder while trying to catch a confession.
