Apparently the dialogue in those last two pages is pretty revealing. Thanks for posting.

Wednesday isn't that far away.

We've affirmed that Fake Clark is mentally a child.

The art is reminiscent of the SBP - Kon-El meeting in Infinite Crisis, though that may simply be to say: It's an encounter that begins with talking then leads to punches.

I rarely comment on art, but I have to say, I love Doug Mahnke's stuff. The look of concern on Superman's face on the first page is easy to feel. Mahnke's art has become like an old friend.

Seconded. I first saw his art during his old - old - AC (or was it Adventures?) run. Great stuff.

We've affirmed that Fake Clark is mentally a child.

Which begs the question of WHICH child? As childish as Superboy-Prime has been depicted in the past, he's no six-year old. Yet the junk food supply and the childish scrawlings of the escaped prisoner of Oz suggest a real child (and probably someone who is identical to the fake Clark, though the timeline doesn't really work out). How many choices are there? Bizarro might work; his attitude is certainly childish. So could a real kid with connections to Clark and Lois, like Chris Kent. Or perhaps the alien child that the New 52 Superman befriended (I can't remember his name off-hand).

Any other candidates that come to mind?
