I agree that DD was evolving on the fly in that arc. Thing is the very same DD was used in DD wars, then in OWAW in which Superman and he were shown as equals.
Then after DD's resurrection they were still shown as equals (though Superman won that fight), after than in Gog wars, Superman did well in their brief encounter (despite being weakened) and in IC, the same E2 Supes that Superman stalmated destroyed DD.
I never took away DD's ability to evolve on the fly, but DC has shown Supes and DD as peers for a while now. DD just doesn't hold back like Superman usually does.
