Booster Gold and Guy both commented on his speed. This are portrayal feats. The writer trying to portray that DD is fast as flash.
The feat (not just portrayal this time) I was talking about concerned the whole JL including Superman.
Comics are inconsistent for the sake of the story. Spider-man has dodged machine gun fire like a day job on many occassions yet has gotten tagged or seen in action by humans several times. For example, Punisher (a human) has tagged Spidey's web shooters when Spidey was moving very fast.
Also, the fight between Superman and DD was 'stuck and moving'. This means at times they were stuck in the street (not traveling) just hitting each other, and other times hitting each other away. The times people saw them is when DD was standing still or just moving slow (as in walking) or just standing still hitting Superman.
Trust me, if the writer portrays DD to be super human fast where Superman has a hard time perceiving him then all other instances of inconsistencies can be thrown out.
