Doesn't current Supes have a resistance to magic?
Kryptonite and Magic will always be his weakness, but magic weakness has been ignored by writers for many years now but even post 2000 there have numerous reference to this weakness but Superman has overcome to many time to suggest someone will defeat him there power are magic base.

Sorry, but that "clarification" was not correct. Superman simply isn't as strong against magic as he is against non-magical attacks. Big difference.
Thing is, Superman often survives magical attacks no normal person could, so he isn't as susceptible to it as people think. For example, he has:
Survived magical lightning bolts various times, survived magical fire, inhaled magical poison with no ill effects, fought off magical mind control, survived banshee's scream that kills you..it put him in a coma, but he still survived a magical attack that is normally fatal, and those are just for starters. So no, it isn't as if a magical fireball is going to turn Superman into ash.
Direct magical assaults don't work well, stuff like magical transmutation,etc. is the way to go with Superman. So if someone with magic starts out a fight with him by hurling some generic magical energy blast, it won't do anything but piss him off.
As for the fight, if Superman forgets to use his super-speed or heat vision right off the bat, Loki can win.
