In the episode of My Silicon Soul of Batman TAS as Hardac Android Duplicate of Batman "killed" itself when it thought it had killed the real Batman. Why? Because it was programmed to have Bruce's code of ethics which for that version of Batman was a strict no kill policy. It earned its oh my god I killed a man moment because it clearly established Bruce Wayne of that show would never kill anyone. MoS never established that version of Clark was against killing to protect others so trying to have the OMG I killed a man doesn't work. I mean they could had simply done a throw away line where Clark mentions being Vegan or something to establish he was against killing living beings even for food and I'd bought his anguish over Zod.
