Why couldn't Lionel find him? The boy's leaving fingerprints everywhere, for a start.
Do we know that he has fingerprints, though? I mean, the way people do?
Come to think of it, does he have DNA, even?
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, we don't, I don't think. But they need to show us this.

Art Crawl!!!
It's like they didn't even think that they had to address this -- leaving us to believe that the Metropolis cops are really really stupid.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Well, Evil Dr. Helen could analyze his blood, so that argues for something at least analogous to DNA that behaves in similar ways.

It's a remora, dimwit.
They might have gotten fingerprints, but if Clark's aren't on file, then it's only going to tell them which robberies were committed by the same mysterious person. And depending on the documentation the Kents got for Clark, there may be no record at all of any prints for him if they figured they were better off just never making him a birth certificate or anything like that.

Who was Rutger Hauer? I realized at the end that I hadn't recognized him in any of the characters.

I can't even.
It was so good to see Rutger Hauer for the few moments that they underused him badly, but maybe he'll be around more this year. Now, as others have mentioned, the whole Smallville villains are lame thing was sticking to him too, but hey Rutger Hauer. What was it Clark was supposed to steal from Lex's office?
I love how Clark taking Lana out to a club is supposed to represent evil. ::Gasp:: Socializing with citynightfolk! Temptation! Obviously, not too strong temptation, hence the bartender asking Kal why he always flies solo, clearly a "which team do you play on?" question. I was so hoping for some red kryptonite Kal despoilage of fishoutofwater Lana there (a little more than the mackage), but I guess that's not allowed in Smallville world.
ETA: Kate, he was the Metropolis crimeboss guy

Thanks. That was what I assumed, but it seemed strange to me that I hadn't recognized him at the time. Of course, I think the only project I know his face from is Blade Runner -- guess he's put on a little weight since then.

Which is a start -- as are the security cameras. The Luthors certainly have his prints on file, if they exist.
