It isn't really a bad idea for someone like Superman (who not only is almost invulnerable but can literally destroy the planet) to have an absolute no-kill rule.

Indeed such a clear demonstration of restraint is probably useful for Superman as it helps him gain the trust that is a strong asset for him (and for the Justice League as a whole).

(Just a note. If it's the same scene I'm thinking of, as far as we can tell Buffy did NOT actually agree that she'd let the vampire go if he told her everything he know.)

In Superman's case while yes, he does have "absolute" power....I can see him not killing villains like The Joker, The Cheetah, Catwoman. Those villains don't have power that could decimate a state/City let alone a Planet

But in cases like, Mongul and Darkseid who are evil beings hell bent in taking human lives and literally decimating the entire planet of all life. I think it is his responsibilty to take care of that threat and even mull the idea of SLAYING that threat if need be. The "Boy Scout" stance is so childish to be honest.

I think Buffy did tell that vampire she will let him go if he gave her information. I am not 100% sure. I will reread that issue again.

I think that is why I am really appreciating Buffy now. You have to do what must be done to make sure lives are safe from those types of evil.
