Superman is not Gladiator. His fear doesn't make his durability soft as liquid. In some instances Superman wasn't scared and very determined to put DD down. But he failed hard.
To prove strength, that Superman casually hit a 1600lb being not only into orbit but through two very thick (several feet) and very durable (more durable than steel) alien ship walls as if a bullet went through paper. You do not want me to even attempt to calculate what type of force that took. I'll just tell you that it takes more than a billion tons of force just to knock that being into orbit under air resistance and many many many more times that for them to go thru those walls like tissue paper after entering space.
