Clark was kind of strange when it came to the heroes journey set up. His parents never died and thus he never really moved on from the smallville part of his life thus he got branded as a "farmboy at heart" which stunted his growth as a person at the same time he ended up getting married and settling down in Metrolopolis which usually marks a point where the hero has accomplished whatever it is they set out do even though he didn't accomplish anything of significance. Strange in retrospect, there's no real order or structure to it.
I could maybe see something like this, it at least offers something of a humor angle to his world,
