There's nothing wrong with thinking that. Hell, I think Hulk should occupy that same kind of role in Marvel. The difference is that while DC has consistently put Superman in to that role themselves (fan consideration or not), Marvel just hasn't done it in the same way.And with Doomsday Clock and the revelations about the continuity reveals at NYCC, it's becoming more and more set-in-stone that this is how DC sees Superman.

Basically, everything is going to be canon.
Also. It's been pretty well established that the prime Earth Superman is the DC embodiment for the concept of Hope, which it values as the most powerful concept. At the end, he'll always find a way to win, and always have another gear to help him get there.

TBH, I always assumed that with comics being as circular as they were, the New 52 was always going to be folded back in the post-crisis or straight up abandoned, and we'd go back to what we'd had pretty much non-stop since the 80s.
It was only when I saw Didio and co say what they said and then the Superman stuff in Action Comics that I realized what was happening. Bunch of crazy bastards.

Exactly. He just recently brought up Lobo pulling a star down on earth as a ft but nothing even happened to the planet. If we take his approach, that means the ft is a lie on Lobos part but he won't do that because it's not DC.
