In Sparda form he can be killed by nothing but highest level magic\reality warping. So...he definetely can endure Supes' attacks.
Quicksilver doesn't take any gestures etc. So...
But giving that Supes is weak against magic-based powers, let's have DT on Quicksilver limited as 30 seconds, for all other abilities it's unlimited.
Don't think heat vision and ice breath would do some huge ass damage to someone who withstood (and mastered in form of particular demonic weapons) flame and infernal cold of Hell itself.
And Dante did it without even devil triggering, let alone taking true high demonic lord form (Sparda form), and it didn't even really phase him. Heat vision and ice breath of some cryptonian (even if he's as legendary as nothing else) are stronger than the elemental forces of Hell? I really doubt it.
Superman isn't oneshotting Dante. Dante is high demon lord (think of Etrigan, just lot more cooler in a fight and with demonic form which doesn't look so stupid and kittenish in appearance), not somebody just HF-happy like Wolverine.
Superman isn't fighting on lightspeeds in atmosphere, so difference in reaction speed isn't too amazingly ovewhelmingly great. Dante just needs to think "stop" to freeze time around himself, and definetely durable enough to take whatever Supes does to him during that.
He fights the one with superhuman reflexes and reaction speed there, not FTL reflexes, but still desent. Dante is easity fast enough to deflect\cut speeding bullets with his sword, as well as outrun such bullets\objects speeded up by bullets.
To do anything desent to Dante before he can even think Supes has to strike him with his fists moving at 100 times speed of sound. Which is near to impossible in atmosphere- Max10-15 is usual speed Supes uses in the fights.
So? Timefreeze is nothing to Supes? He's DEFINELTELY more powerful that all the armies of hell including skyfather level beings? His heat vision and ice breath are potent enough to kill a person who can withstand fire and abussal cold of hell like nothing without even need to take a demonic form? Has Superman fogotten his "interaction" with Wonder Woman's magical sword? Pure strength feats are for Hulk, and I strongly doubt that Superman kills the person with superhuman reaction speed and insane HF before he even has a chance to think.
Dante lacks planet-destroying feats on panel (though he's destroyed some meteors\comets in his high demonic form), but it would be just stupid plotwise to give him ones. He's established himself as the most powerful demon of his universe.
What exactly makes you think the demons in DMC are Skyfather level? The term "demon" is entirely relative. Sure, Mundus is powerful because he's "the devil", but he's an ant compared to Mephisto (Galaxy-buster). Once empirical, quantifiable evidence puts anyone in DMC up there with Supes, I'll be convinced. Until then... nah.
When Mundus self-destructed, he didn't blow up more than an island. He hasn't demonstrated planet destroying power anywhere. And, even if he has, that doesn't make one billionth of a skyfather.
Odin, for example, destroys a galaxy in a single blow. He's a true Skyfather, and much more powerful than anyone in the Devil May Cry series that I've come across.
As far as reflexes and speed go, Superman is still waaaay faster, even in atmosphere. Check respect thread for details.

Then WHY the final fight of DMC was held in open space? Showoff purposes?
Superman is way faster, I know that, I only doubt that he can kill Dante before he even has a chance to think to activate his time stop powers (which is by the way a lot easier to activate, than, for example, Kain's time related powers, which are a bit overrated here).
Recently some young new gods tried a chronal freeze on Superman and all it did was piss him off.
Superman's HV has also shown to be hotter than the flames of hell and his freeze breath froze a near Jupiter sized planet.
Then there is his T-vo which was warping reality of a multiversal reality warper.

And yet… At the same time, we’re fascinated and bewitched by it.
Maybe that’s why humans drink the darkness that is coffee.
Nocturne series are considered a part of canon in some sourses (it is used to expalin Dante's pasttime in Hell in DMC2- unvilling work for Lucifer etc). In Nocturne Dante finally has his chance to meet and kill some galaxy busters...
Nocturne Dante isn't any more powerful than DMC or DMC2 Dante.
A battle being held in open space doesn't really mean much. Certainly, it doesn't mean they have planet-busting power. It could mean that, but in the end all we have is conjecture.
Well, it wasn't made by Capcom... But I haven't played the game, so this is out of my area.
If this is canon to Dante (I'm not quite sure it is), then he should beat Superman quite easily. But wow, this guy seems waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than DMC Dante.
