The time reversal encore was the best way to go? They themselves admitted they would have come up with something else if Donner hadn't been fired.
And since this was, like it or not, a 2006 release -- and the Reeve iteration was finished -- there was zero wrong with leaving Lois aware he was Superman.
And the bully comeuppance scene being left in shows just how little thought they put into the ending. No one in that diner has any idea why Clark confronts him if the time line has been turned back.
I just fast forward the time reversal thing when I watch the Donner cut.
