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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.
Which is a start -- as are the security cameras. The Luthors certainly have his prints on file, if they exist.

Kate, also, that movie came out 22 years ago. The guy is 60, I think. And never was all that skinny in that movie; he just had a narrow face.

Yeah, my point exactly--I don't know why I was surprised that I didn't recognize him. (He's 60? Making him 38 in BR? I guess I thought he was younger.)

23 Jan 44 says imdb. I've always thought of him as a fairly big guy, definitely not a skinny hollywood male type. It looks like he's been getting consistent work, but in generally low-profile B stuff. Too bad, I've always thought he was great.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm pondering zeitgest-y things (on TV, pop culture).
90s: beginning with Twin Peaks and Silence of the Lambs you have the FBI-in-black, and forensic autopsies are cool. Which roll out in waves through X-Files, Men in Black, CSI and innumerable knock-offs. Also, you see a lot of Riot Grrrll protagonists (Wm. Gibson, Neal Stephenson).
00s: Theme is...Talking to Dead People; Sixth Sense, Six Feet Under, The Lovely Bones, Wonderfalls/Tru Calling/Joan of Arcadia, "Conversations With Dead People." You see a lot of either damaged waif protagonists or snarky neo-goth girls (dating back to the ur-progenitor of this type, Darlene Connor. Reflected in Daria/Jane, Mandy on Grim & Evil, Raven on Teen Titans, and many other cartoons).
