Superman

Superman used unconscious super-hypnosis magnified through his spaceship window glasses to convince everyone Clark didn’t look like Superman.

From RCDU…

 I just started reading the first issues of batman and was a little

suprised. In the first issue alone he machine-guns a bunch of

gangsters to death, throws a mad scientist out a window and assumes he

dies (although it was into water and we all know what that means…)

and then lets 2 men who were mutated by the professor to beat each

other to death cause they were better off that way…

 I know it was a different time and all, but when did his no killing

rule really go into effect for both good AND bad guys, 50’s? 60s?
