Agility is portrayed differently in comics than movement speed and traveling speed. Agile characters just have an uncanny way of evading damage. They are fast, but not all agile characters are going to be seen outpacing a sports car. Comic book logic defies reason and often turns to bite it's own ass. You would think that a guy that can lift in excess of 20 tons while weighing 180lbs would be able to run at break neck speeds, but sadly this isn't how things are portrayed all of the time.

Another example is a bodybuilder than is 4 times stronger than a phenom teenage pitcher. But the pitcher can throw 95mph and the bodybuilder only 55mph.
An escalator moves with a certain speed but has a great force on it. Try to stop the escalator with all your might. You cant. Yet you can move significantly faster.

LMAO. A character that has tagged Superman on many occasions is slow? Riiiight. 🙄No one else on that list (besides Darkseid) could lay a finger on Clark if he didn't want them to.
Of course he is. Superman has never been known for the actual combat speed, few obscure feats don't change that. He's not the type that dodges attacks, anyway.
Why would Darkseid feel it was necessary to dodge the blows of a human in a Halloween costume who has no superstrength at all? We're talking about a being who stood still and let friggin' Lobo of all people, a character who is MUCH stronger and more durable than Batman, pound on him repeatedly. Darkseid didn't even flinch while Lobo hurt his hands badly. And yet, we're supposed to believe that Batman can kick Darkseid and somehow make him bleed without suffering any injuries to his foot himself? Yeah, sure...that makes perfect sense. 🙄
Lobo>>>>>Batman
...and I don't wanna hear any bullshit about "pressure points". LMAO.

Because he bled like a virgin after one kick? 😂

Bruce has actually put Lobo in his place with a slap 😉
