Re: This Is What I Want This is pretty much the same as if DC made a Golden Age era Superman comic where he kills Louis or smacks around Jimmy or just does someing insane in general.
You are confusing Golden Age with Silver Age. During Golden Age, Lois was a very self-assured kicker of ass and taker of names who crushed on Superman without losing her journalistic integrity and hated Clark Kent because (in her view), she constantly had to save his sorry ass. As for Jimmy, he wasn't around for much of Golden Age and, when he was introduced, he was this over-excited kid who worshiped Superman and looked up to every Daily Planet reporter.
Yes, I realize that this has nothing to do with your actual point, but I am a stickler for historic continuity :)
