So there's prep and BFR allowed, then?
I have to think Hal'd be smart enough to get the GL Corps to help him BFR Supes, who'd spend his time less wisely.
Remember when PC Superman referred to Hal's GL ring as a "tiny trinket" ? Good times.
Anyways, why does fighting at full capacity equate to prep? It just means they won't hold back, which means nobody can say Superman won't use his speed here.

Superman kills Hal, Hal comes back as a Black Lantern and summons Nekron who, along with the Black Lantern Central Power Battery and Black Hand, bursts out of Superman's chest.
Why would he have any shields up? He'd just have to rely on autoshields. Superman can blitz Hal easily before he reacts. He won't have time to create any kind of construct.

Being in combat vs chatting illustrates this perfectly.
If you're chatting, and not expecting it, then you can be outreacted.
You think someone could chat to Barry and pick his pocket? No. Why? Because he has superspeed. Even if it was his mum, the last person on Earths he would ever expect to steal from him....he would still be able to react to it.
My point being, being pickpocketed in the middle of a friendly chat shows that your reactions aren't magnitudes higher than a peak human Batman. If it WAS, no amount of unexpectedness would help the thief.
Why is Superman allowing Hal Jordan the time needed to create kryptonite? At this point it's like people think he has a death wish.
