Remember that time Superboy met Oliver Queen<\/a> and set him on the path to become Green Arrow? The plot is shamelessly copied in Adventure Comics #275 (June 1960) wherein Superboy reminisces about meeting Robin<\/a> and then wonders if he’ll ever meet a young Bruce Wayne. Literally one panel later guess who shows up in Clark’s class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctor Wayne has just moved into Smallville! This is before it is established that Bruce Wayne’s parents are murdered when he is a child, because Clark and Bruce are at least 15-16 years old in this story.

Later, the Waynes move out of Smallville, presumably back to Gotham where they will soon be shot dead by Joe Chill. I guess Superboy never knew why Batman decided to fight crime or he surely would have been tempted to prevent Bruce’s parents from being killed?
