Typical.
Ever notice how Superman zealots always post shit from like the 70s for everyone else, refuse to acknowledge anything aside from the latest most powerful incarnation for Superman, while at the same time refusing to count anything that's not recent that looks good for other characters?
The only thing they are more hypocritical about is mind control. Superman gets hypnotized? No bueno. Another character could have a brain transfusion and it'd still count.
He has been dropped more than any Herald for the past 4 to 5 yrs. I'm surprised KMC isnt acknowledging this.
There are also other cases where both go all out and Superman matches Flash, even running.
I think it's illogical to say that Flash is way faster than Supes. Their history shows that they are so close to eatch other that the difference in speed is marginal at best. Considering all their showings and portrayals it's just hypocritical and spiteful to say that one is a staute to the other. Flash fact: Superman can, has and will always be close enough to the flash to react and race him, even catch up to him while running and be even closer while flying.

I'm sure you knew this. 🙂
If you had read the storyline, you'd know that the full scene is very similar to a scene of a random teenage basketball player trash talking after Superman let an unpopular kid beat him to get the kid liked, making this very questionable that Barry actually let him. But of course the great carver9 would never miss or intentionally omit context.

I guess Superman is faster than Flash based on a few isolated incidents!!!!
He also evenly fought an Imperiex Probe at super speed on one occasion, did a full on multiple punches and varied attacks speed blitz to one on another. The one that fought the JLA had caught a running Wally. Not tagged, actually grabbed and lifted him.

I mean, look at Superman's expression vs. Flash's on the page just before Supes caught him:
Supes was clearly taxing himself, while Flash looked like he was out for a leisurely stroll.
Moreover, the above scene took place shortly after this happened:
So it would make sense that Superman only caught Barry because he allowed him to. /shrug
