Another thing areall those people who threatens Superman. Luthor running around with smirk, implicitly trusting that Superman's ethics will keep him alive and scheming.
You would think someone with the powers of a God would be treated with some wariness. Especially if you go out of your way to piss him of.
Take his parents hostage asking him to kill other people.. hmm if he is willing to do that why wouldn't he kill you?
In the Dillinger episode we see that Clark is no stranger to interrogation under extreme duress. Yet when his parents or girlfriend's lives are at stake he submits meekly to all demands.
And then we have Luthor, the criminal at large, that are allowed to run away with Lois without being detained. You would think with all mind altering methods Clark has encountered he would take Lois to a hospital at least.
