Biography[]
A Day at Work[]

Olsen showcases his work life at the Daily Planet
- "This is my office at the Daily Planet, aka where the magic happens."
- ―Jimmy Olsen
Jimmy Olsen was filmed by Clark Kent to show his daily life in a social media video, introducing himself at the entrance of the Daily Planet, but when showing his desk, he was interrupted by Lois Lane, who asked him if he printed out his bank statement, and he promised he would. Olsen explained that Lane technically outranked him, but he liked to think of them as equals, and sometimes she sounded bossy, to which Lane interrupted to ask what he was doing. Jimmy tried to say she treated him kindly, but Lane shut him down. Olsen talked about Clark, who stepped out a lot. When he finished the video, Clark Kent asked him about a photo in his office of him with two girls, to which he nervously replied that they were just friends, before going back to work.[2]
