Oh wow, this is more of the silly kind of impressive 🙂

^I'm too lazy to read the entire thing but the first two parts are bull. Superman was getting up in like two panels IIRC. Hell, the entire thing happened in under 2 minutes. Superman was up in a second or two.
Sure, he got back up, after she had time to just stand there and fix her wrist, so more than a second or two... but when he did he wasn't looking good. The guy had a visible limp!
And Diana cutting a delusional Superman with her tiara is by no means a legit win.
Hah! So, using a weapon- which she always had -and hit him from head on -which he can see coming- and that doesn't count as a win? When he's shown to not be blind to her weapons?
You're really bending over backwards here.
The size difference between Diana and Doomsday alone would give her an advantage.
Except he wasn't fighting like she was Doomsday size. Heck, he even dodged the lasso!
Superman was not ignoring her advantages.
Superman is clearly physically superior to Diana physically by a noticeable amount.
Yes, and she has other advantages to counter that.
You know, other advantages? Weapons, reflexes, hth skills, etc..
What is it that makes you think Diana's not going to use her whole power set?
An all out non-delusional Superman would manhandle and snap Diana's neck imo.
Clearly not. Superman was fighting in a way using his powers properly and avoiding her attacks as if she was Diana, not Doomsday. Doomsday was the motive, but Superman wasn't displaying flaws in his fighting aside from aggressiveness.... which is what he has here, from Bloodlust.
She can hold her own against a regular Superman and takes a few, but the fight is only as competitive as it is because Clark allows it to be.
Except it's happened, and it didn't.
Not a knock against Diana, just the truth based on their histories.
Except they've fought not once, but many times, and stalemate is the norm.
It's really funny how "Oh, Superman could win easily if he was really trying! If Diana doesn't use her full powerset, and we ignore how Superman was both fighting with all of his powers and not holding back at all and lost," is the prevailing opinion of not one but several posters here.
Guess what? I don't think Superman's beaten Wonder Woman once outside of Elseworlds and the like. Wonder Woman admits he has some edge, but this mythical easy win, or even overwhelming majority win, simply doesn't exist in canon.
