In my opinion JB removed the clumsy Clark Kent completely. SER: True, but the JB Clark Kent still played a role -- as evidenced from the weights he kept around in his apartment to help explain why he was built like a Greek God. He constantly pretended that he was not anything more than a normal human being. I liken it to if Brad Pitt suddenly showed up at your office, working in the cubicle next to you. Maybe he might wear glasses and non-movie star clothing, just like us. He would be unassuming, attend staff meetings, joke at the water cooler. He wouldn't go out of his way to "play" a character that was so different from the one on screen that you wouldn't suspect it was him, though. After all, you never see Superman in the what I call "Tarantino" moments when he's annoyed that someone used the last bit of coffee but didn't make another pot. When you see Superman, he's in ACTION. When people see Clark Kent, he's doing what normal people do with their day. As I mentioned above, though, the "acting" comes up whenever someone accidentally spills hot coffee on him and he feigns pain.
