Would clark walking away from lois have been better than action comics #1004?

He didn’t do anything to harm Jon. It’s obviously not the same set up at Mr. Oz left. We know that, it’s implied. So how did he betray their trust? How did his being Mr. Oz factor into it at all.

God I’m concerned if you have kids, you’d trust anyone with them. Hopefully you have different standards in real life. So I’m going to guess this is like a “Robin” thing where we have looser standards for the dc universe. But even then, I still think what Lois and Clark did was stretching it much too far. And framing him eventually breaking out after years of captivity as validating “he can take care of himself” that’s messed up man.
