Please don't doubt me. H1 can go into further detail about this.
Dang. I forgot about that.

Like usual we will have a lot of scans out-of-contexts...

One of Darkseid's better reaction speed feats. Also another example where text doesn't always equal time passingMicrosecond is one millionth (0.000001 or 10−6 or 1/1,000,000) of a second
Speed capabilities, moves at "unthinkable speeds" from New Genesis to the Source Wall almost instaneous
I know that scan about the "Cosmic Odyssey". I own the volume and I've read it both in my language and in english too.
The point is that's totally a figure of speech :
"Ultimate Death awaits a micro-second away. I must act quickly or all is lost !"
Darkseid just increase the dramatic effect of the scene...
The Anti-Life equation didn't act at all in that scene.
Darkseid is the one ACTING in that scene and the Anti-Life Entity didn't even notice him and Etrigan

The second scan that you posted is just a travel speed feat...
Didn't act at all? We see in the next page ALE was ready to attack and was about to grab him before he ported out. Not sure how those scans prove he didn't react in a microsecond?
I know it's a travel speed feat, said it was. "Speed capabilities" to be exact (didn't say reflex)

What's your other language?

A)
To me it sounds like an hyperbole, the first panel precise that any miscalculations from Darkseid can be fatal and just after that he say that "ultimate death waits only a micro-seconds away" .
I mean, why would Darkseid say "ultimate death" instead of death if that's not to emphasize with how dangerous the Anti-Life Entity is to him and Etrigan.
I think that the "micro-second away" just improves that sensation that they are facing a being so powerful that he can squish them like bugs.
In my opinion that's just to increase the dramatic effect of the scene to his climax like "Hell, if we fail all is lost and we all dies !!!".
On topic, Darkseid is the first to act as the ALE didn't notice them. (I already said that)
B)
Yep, and it's a good travel speed feat.
C)
I'm french.

Ok that's your interpretation. I don't agree, but I'll just leave it at that
Oh cool, where you from originally?

Apologies, you're a late entrant so you probably don't know what has this thread's activity swelling. It has nothing to do with what you said.
Allow me to explain:
RealityTard insists that Superman does not have combat speed of any sort. (whatever the phuck that means).
As retarded as it is, he insists that someone like Batman is faster in combat than Superman. Again, stupid as that is, and being bashed into the ground with as many counter-examples as he can possibly stomach, he continues with his unfounded belief.
So I did RealityTard a kindness and provided him two different theses that he could stand behind to explain his belief, and charged him with finding proof in the comics for either one.
1. Theory one: Time is selective and chooses to slow down Superman when he decides to fight, and allows him to move at his normal super speeds when he is doing any other (often more complex) activity as fast as he can.
2. Theory two: Superman has different sets of muscles for different activities that he exchanges through a pocket space or perhaps auto-magic. He can do anything super-fast, except fight.
When he is catching hundreds of rounds of automatic fire with his hands, he is using his 'catching hundreds of rounds of automatic fire' triceps. But when he throws a punch, he is using his 'combat' triceps, which are apparently orders of magnitude slower.
For example, using both theories: A scene has been posted of Superman being able to catch 4 bullets shot in 4 different directions before Batman has time to even finish 3 words in a sentence.
If Superman decided for some reason, to go up and punch Batman in the same scene, Time would realize that its time to switch to 'COMBAT TIME' [capsforemphasis], and thus in combat time Superman moves slower, and Batman moves faster.
Or.
Superman is using his bullet catching triceps when he is reaching out for those bullets.
So if he decided to go punch Batman in the same scene, he'd automatically switch to his combat triceps and move immensely slower.
These are certainly two brilliant theories that RealityTard should champion and attempt to prove as these are the only ones that could logically prove his case for him, but perhaps he is too humble to adopt them.
He chooses to simply twirl around with his thumb up his ass and have a directionless opinion.
I'm trying to help him. He won't take it.

I can feel the irony coming from that post.
Some other reader didn't. I'm pretty sure that he didn't get anything I said since the beginning and that he will try to turn my words as his own very personal "understanding" but hey, I can't help "special" people being less "special".

Erm, it's in forum rules that Superman DOES use his speed. So hardly earth shattering revelations..
He surely uses his travel speed when he bullrushes or hit & run his opponent but when it comes to close-quarters he doesn't really have much to give.
The encounter in the New 52 against the Predator-like creature is a typical.
The first fight, Superman is totally overwhelmed by the creature uses his weaponry to disorient and hurt Superman and then rushes in hand-to-hand to increase the damage, and hit & run him with various weapons and Supes is incapable to reverse the steam, even in hand-to-hand because he lacks both skills and speed to avoid or block the attacks and answers accordingly.
The second fight, when Superman unbound himself, he rushes the Predator-like guy and hit him harm with the flying-punch and then overpowers him... But he don't demonstrate any combat speed during the fight. He just hammers his opponent with consecutive punches, one per panel isn't really impressive.

I don't need to read this stupidity to know that this will fit perfectly
