In the new superman, will superman still take a moral oath not to kill?
I think he may be changing, as in that regard, as in the an issure
a few months ago (before crisis) he thinks he has killed luthor,
and instead of saying

``OH NO, I KILLED SOMEONE, AND BROKE BY OATH!!''

he says without much remorse 

``Gee, I wonder if luthors plan was to force me to kill him and break
my oath.''

	Also, someone else pointed out that he doesn't mind killing
extremely sentient robots, or bizzaro things, or things that don't
fit into a particular (arbitrary) category.  Most notable is telling
the supersons to kill themselves.
