You have any proof she can put a kryptonian in slo mo?

Did you forget the part where Superman took Zod into space? Sure, it didn't work because Zod can fly too, but he tried.
As for Faora, he grabbed her and tried to fly off, but he was stopped by Nam-Ek.
He absolutely did BFR him when he punched him into a train composition a few miles away. Nam-Ek didn't return until after Faora was down.

How can you bfr someone that can fly? Superman isn't stupid. The fight just carried out there. Superman wasn't trying to bfr him.
P.S. I don't remember Superman trying to take Zod to space (DD yes).
Superman wasn't trying to bfr Faora. He was just bull rushing her.
Reaction Time
So, what kind of reaction time would Wonder Woman need to block a bullet with her Bracelets of Submission? How about a quick estimation. OK, here's the situation: some bad guy fires at Wonder Woman with a bullet moving 700 m/s. Yes, that is a different value than I used earlier, but I want to go with a something that she should be able to block.
Wonder Woman's reaction time depends not only on the speed of the bullet, but the distance it travels before hitting her. Instead of using the distance between Wonder Woman and the bad guy, I will use the distance at which she first notices the bullet. If you want some homework, you could use the angular resolution of the human eye and the size of the bullet to approximate the bullet detection distance, but I will call it 30 meters and be done with it.
If the bullet travels at a constant speed, I can use the definition of average velocity to find the travel time:
La te xi t 1
Inserting my values for speed and distance, I get a bullet travel time of 0.043 seconds (43 milliseconds). Not much time to react. It seems to me that a good visual reaction time might be around 160 ms—but I guess this is one reason Wonder Woman is so super.
But I can also estimate the power (in watts) that Wonder Woman would need to block a bullet. Now, blocking a bullet would require her to accelerate her hand to a given speed, then stop it and deflect the bullet—all in 43 milliseconds. It's easier to break this into two equal parts. Part 1 is increasing the speed of the hand from zero to some value in total distance and half the total time. Part 2 is slowing the hand down in half the time and distance. Yes, this is an approximation, but it allows me to easily calculate the average velocity. Since the initial velocity is zero, the final velocity would be twice the average.
I will use a total hand moving distance of 1 meter and a hand-wrist-forearm mass of 1.5 kilograms. During the acceleration part of the hand-block, the hand would achieve an average velocity of 23.3 m/s and a maximum speed (in the middle of the motion) of 46.6 m/s. I can calculate the power with the following definition:
La te xi t 1
I already know the time interval, but what about the change in energy? Since the hand goes from moving to not moving, the change in energy is simply the change in kinetic energy:
La te xi t 1
This gives me everything I need (mass, maximum speed, time) to calculate the power. Plugging in these values, I get a bullet-blocking power of 76,000 watts. Whoa. That's about 100 horsepower. Wonder Woman has the power of an economy car in one arm. Another reason she is so super.
All of which is to say, Wonder Woman is superhuman and you definitely should not try blocking bullets, even with the Bracelets of Submission.

He was trying to remove him from Metropolis so they don't cause more damage. That's pretty literally battlefield removal.
They brought down a satelite. Don't you remember?
Bullrusing her by grabbing her with one hand and attempting to fly off? Don't be silly.
BFR is in character for Clark.

Remember, leaving the battlefield is not allowed.
