No, it's not trolling at all, it's making a point. Ok, let me put this another way.
Superman's ability to make diamonds out of coal with his bare hands is well known. DCEU Superman can do it too, because he shares that powerset. Now, Clark in any good guy universe could be as rich as Bruce Wayne by turning a sack of coal you can buy at a gas station into diamonds more pure and clear and better cut than any on Earth. Would he do this in character? No. Can he do it? Absolutely. Now imagine that same pressure applied to say Vision's gem, or Cap's skull.
Another example: We never see DCEU, or any other form of Superman take a dump. It's not in his character because it's never seen. But can he do it? I think he can, and moreover must, because he is still a biological entity.
And another. Superman doesn't masturbate. It's never seen, thus not in character. But CAN he? I think you know the answer.
Ok, now over the top examples aside, We HAVE seen Superman deploy multiple superpowers at once before, Superspeed, Flight and Superstrength. We have also seen him deploy heat vision. Why could he not deploy heat vision while flying and using speed? "Because we've never seen him do so, thus it's not within character!" My reply will now be, "We don't see him poop either, do we conclude he is constantly constipated?"
The argument has no foundation beyond it was not onscreen and therefore is impossible, despite being very possible.
So I make this suggestion in leau of discrediting a method of attack that is POSSIBLE. Instead of arguing whether or not superman should or would do a particular attack well within his power set, and if pushed hard enough would definitely use, why not use your teams abilities to COUNTER said attack? I can see at least two ways to stop Superman cold as he makes that kind of attack. Let me give you a hint.
One is a glowing jewel.
The other is a clap on roids.
