How Did Clark Kent Get A Job At The Daily Planet?


I'm not sure if this can be described as a possible plot hole but Clark Kent emerges from the Fortress Of Solitude at the age of thirty, having spent twelve years there.

How, therefore, did he subsequently walk into a position presumably hundreds of other ambitious young journalists would have killed for, at the top newspaper in town, with a blank CV and twelve missing years to account for?

I guess he can learn (and type- his boss said that) extremely fast. Did he spend 12 years in the "Fortress of Solicitude?

reply

Yeah. Marlon Brandon says something like "By the time you leave here, twelve of your Earth years will have passed..."

reply

Ok, I have missed it.
