Can Superman solo the JLA

I've got one piece of advice for superman if he takes the league on: don't turn your back on bats and let him strategize...

Oh, I'm sure he'd make damn sure he took him out first.

My guesses

Yes

No

No

I assume this is a Clark who isn't holding back in all 3 fights, correct?

Is this PC Superman who is trying to do this or current Supes? PC Superman could do it easily in all 3 fights. I don't think current Supes could beat all those PC characters but he might be able to win the second one. The biggest threat to him is MM. Since it's not a comic MM won't be jobbing to him and has a decent chance to beat him even one on one, imo.

If MM uses all his powers intelligently instead of forgetting about half of them like he does in the comics then I don't see Superman being able to beat the whole team in fight 2 since he will have his hands full with J'onn. If J'onn holds back too much or doesn't use his powers the way they should be used then it's very possible (even likely) for a non-holding back Superman to beat everyone there in the second fight.

Batman goes down immediately and probably Aquaman too. WW won't last long against a non-holding back Superman who isn't hallucinating or has some other kind of huge disadvantage the way he did in 'Sacrifice'. Kyle can give him some problems but Superman will eventually beat him. There is no construct that he can make that can possibly hold Superman. Flash is nothing more than an annoyance to him and after he deals with everybody else he can take out Flash in probably a dozen different ways despite the fact that Flash is faster than him.

I'm not sure about fight 3 because I don't know much about the characters.

Huh.
Why the third fight?

There is no MM there, and DCNU WW and Flash are weaker than Pre Reboot versions imo.

About pre crisis i dont know.

Flash might be weaker but WW is a lot stronger than her reboot self imo. She's a legit, bonified high Herald and the peak of it too.

I don't know PC that well, but he gets absolutely stomped in the other 2. Hard. Some of them can beat him 1v1 and he can do nothing about it.

Only MM can beat him one-on-one and it's not a lop-sided matchup either. Although I think that J'onn would have the advantage.

Not sure in that, but the power gap (and weakness handicaps) seems a lot smaller in 2 and 3. Their teamwork would count for more.

SM wins all 3

So no chance at all for the world's greatest heroes?
Brings up the old argument of why some characters are on teams at all.

I agree with Yes, no, no.....he would get wrecked in the last 2 for sure
