Purple prose. I didn't hesitate to type that, not even for a picosecond.

It says that he didn't do something. "Not for a single picosecond".

I get that we're excited about the word picosecond but I don't see how not doing something is a feat.

In fact, I've never once hesitated for a single picosecond, ever.

Whoa. I am fast.

Isn't that the exact opposite of a picosecond feat

Speedsters slowing down time to picosecond level isn't a new thing.

"He didn't hesitate" here means he was feeling the agony on picosecond basis but it didn't stop him.

Speedsters slowing down time to picosecond level isn't a new thing.

In fact, it specifically didn't happen. "Not even for a single picosecond" demonstrates his resolve. This isn't a reaction feat.

But you can't decide in a picosecond at all.

He made one decision and stuck to it throughout many picoseconds.

I get that he can react within a picosecond, but that's based on other feats, not on this... non-feat.

The way I read it's essentially like saying character A doesn't hesitate a second, and in here it can be interpreted similarly

Superman doesn't hesitate a picosecond, which to him is like a normal human to a second
It isn't a feat per se, more like a statement though

Really? This could just as well have been attributed to Batman.

Anyway, the feat in the preview

And here is the preview of Superman and Bizarro's story.

Bizarro casually swats Superman to Venus/25 million miles. And then they fight around the solar system(and looks like they also destroys a moon/asteriod on Jupiter?)

And Bizarro not only seems to resist to magic, but also seems to be able to absorb it
Bizarro is capable of using these magic apparently

It basically states that the Kryptonian on the Earth alone can deal with the threats that GLs face in sector 2814

Insane magic showing for Bizarro there - smashing through magical shields (which look to be incredibly unlikely/impossible from the text) with zero magic, and taking a combined blast from the three most accomplished spellcasters in all of existence, and saying it tickles.

Aaron does not play.

"Superman never hesitates," "not for a single picosecond."

Or put it like this.
Character A doesn't hesitate for a second to take the hit to save people, despite the threat he is facing posed a threat to him, due to his courage
Then what would have happened if he were a less courage person? He would have hesitate for a second(I.E, he would have reacted for a second)

I.E, that sentence implies something the character A could have done

Of course it happened, Superman flies through the vortex, not hesitating even for a single picosecond.
Do let me know when this happened to Batman?

I too would like to know about these Batman instances. For reasons.

If I don't hesitate to order sashimi for lunch today that also means that I didn't hesitate for a millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond, picosecond, femtosecond, attosecond, etc. to order sashimi. Does that imply that I have attosecond reactions? No, of course not.

I'm not sure why you're hyperfixating on this to be honest. It's highly interpretative at best.

This is from another comic altogether, specifically Comic Green Lantern (2023) #7.
