(We've had a Clark Kent Bandit before. More later.)

This guy uses a note when he approaches the teller. So far, he hasn't pulled a gun or said he has one.

"The bandit goes in the bank and says, 'This is a robbery. Give me 100s, 50s, 20s. No alarms, keep your hands where I can see them,'" FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.

In a July 9 robbery at a Bank of America branch at 118 W. Rosecrans Ave. in Willowbrook, the man wore thick-framed glasses reminiscent of Clark Kent, the mild-mannered reporter who becomes Superman.

In the second robbery at a Bank of America branch at 180 E. Carson Street on July 17, he also told the teller to "Hurry."

Anyone who knows him should contact the FBI at 310-477-6565.

If you recall a previous "Clark Kent Bandit" bank robber, that would be Roger Hoan Brady, who robbed banks before he killed Manhattan Beach police Officer Martin Ganz in 1993.
