As a new dad myself, I think it'd be an interesting plot development. Watch the little tyke almost roast his/her mum with heat vision, that sort of thing.
As badly as the marriage is written, the last thing I want to see is Superman becoming a father. For God's sake, Lois mistreats him, abuses him, flat-out accuses him of cheating on her for no legitimate reason, and threatens to leave him once or twice a year. She doesn't love or trust him in the slightest. Even worse, this characterization has been virtually ingrained in her since 1993 or thereabouts, so there's no way to correct it with rewriting. You'd need a reboot to turn Lois Lane into a proper character. And Lois' abusiveness and outright hatred of her own husband has basically reduced Superman to being a pussywhipped victim. Which is bad enough, but added onto the stupidity, cowardice, self-absorption, and total lack of maturity he's been ingrained with since 1993, it's yet another insult to a man who should be the superhero equivalent of James T. Kirk.

A superbaby? No thanks. Lois Lane, the Superbitch, is a big enough baby already, and Clark can't handle her at all. What makes anyone think he could handle an infant?
