I mean that’s just the selective stupidity/selective ignorance/ suspension of disbelief trope that authors use to get around plot holes when they don’t want to come up with more convincing reasons or plot points.

Can’t exactly have a reoccurring character if Batman killed Joker the first time Joker went on a murderous rampage. Hence the strict “Moral Code”. 28 Days later good example in the horror scene. Only reason there’s a sequel is the Dude went and made out with his infected wife. Because reasons. And the Military didn’t have guards around the asymptomatic carrier of Uber plague because reasons.

Don't take life lessons from a 1930's comic, its fiction.
Except in reality a child would always be able to tell, because they have yet to be taught how to be blind.
