    Explain to me how Superman couldn’t have stopped him without deadly force? He easily could’ve, doesn’t make any sense. This context is also absent of the knowledge of the value of the extremes of the selflessness being common knowledge.

      He could have, but that wouldn’t have helped. It is like Lex says, sooner or later he would get out and do it all over again.

        We don’t live in a world where people are freeing themselves from prison on the regular just to “do it all over again.”

        Keep in mind we’re talking about a cartoon about Superheroes.
