Time to remember that we're Jews. Not Christians, Muslims, or Hindus. Jews, the Chosen Ones. We're supposed to be the good guys. 'Good guys' in movies spare their enemies where ever possible.
In "Man of Steel" Superman only killed Zod after trying above and beyond the call not to, and then only when others were threatened. And if think a Superman movie doesn't enter into it, Superman's creators were Jews who very probably invented him as a metaphor for our Moshiach to come.
Loving our enemies is why we continue to accept offers to negotiate, and accept peace-fire after peace-fire even after every one of them was broken by our enemies. If we can take a day off killing we take a day off. That's how the good guys are supposed to behave.
If you're into Superman mythlogy, then why not, but take to mind that Superman and zod were from the same planet, the Saga viewed them as brothers, that is why the superhero wasn't in a hurry to kill him, because they shared the destiny of survivors and he believed that as his 'brother' he deserved second chance, he woudn't take the life of one of his own people if any other solution was in sight.
We don't do what we do because we love our enemies. You cannot suggest that we must love Hamas or Daesh, we cannot kiss the hand that strikes us. You don't fight terror with love, it is absurd. you try and dig to find the things that are not pure evil, and revive them in order to fight the good fight.
