 It seems like half of those Silver Age Superman stories were all about Superman messing with people to keep his secret identity.

Kurt Busiek did a great riff on this in Astro City where the Lois Lane character’s schemes got so elaborate and out of hand that the Superman analog just hosed off to another universe rather than keep up the charade.

who remembers Milestone Comics?

who remembers their "Worlds Collide" crossover with DC - specifically, the Superman books?

Some members of Blood Syndicate ("they're not a team, they're a gang") are talking about the weird events resulting from, basically, a god tearing a hole between universes.

"Some people are saying they saw Superman flying around."

"Superman?! Like on television?"

"Like on television."

This eventually leads to a confrontation between Superman and Blood Syndicate, with the following exchange:

"Who are you people!"

"Who the gently caress are you! Does your momma know you left the house looking like Clark Kent?!"

Reminds me of the Superman/Fantastic Four crossover by Dan Jurgens, where Franklin and the Thing are huge fans of the Timm/Dini Superman cartoon.
