Yes then he took the bullet. But he didn't start out weaker. He was weakened during. His only feat at full power(and we don't use weakened feats from characters as proof they are weak) was killing batman.
We really don't know, but they mentioned in Final Crisis he was mortally wounded by Orion so yes he was in weaker.
and he was a frail old man, look at the instance with Kalibak in the tiger form getting killed by Tawky Tawny. Are you going to tell me Kalibak was full power in that form? The frail old man norturied him enough that DS could come to Earth and possess him.
Except as a I mentioned earlier it was noted in FC, he was already mortally wounded before the bullet and he was in a weak human host so no he was not at full power.
