No, there's no thinking about this. The title is named DOS Doomsday which means we only use showings from that story. If the author wants to use other showings outside of DOS, he needs to clarify that.Again, I wouldn't even mention Doomsday being trapped by mud if it was a one off showing in the book but it's not. The entire book is full of trash, so the mud showing holds weight here.
There is plenty to consider here. Doomsday has various eras of the iteration of the character and people absolutely cite "Dos" Doomsday as an indicator of which timeframe of the character they are referencing. It is not as far as I've ever seen, a reference to the idea that every event and character in said event, exists inside a vacuum for the purposes of the thread... I've *never* seen that...
Doomsday "being trapped by mud" is literally inconclusive. All we saw was Supes drive Doomsday into the silt then take off, we have no idea what Doomsday was doing in the mean time or even if he was trapped... We *did* infact see Doomsday literally leap/fly up through the ground in a relative instant despite being entombed "deep" underground which implies a 20 meter wall of earth to the surface at a minimum... So *if* Doomsday was indeed stuck in mud, (which you can't prove beyond Superman's hopes [which were just proven incorrect two pages earlier]), it would indeed be a one off showing...
The mud showing might hold some weight if it was clearly evident and indicative of something... But it's not and it isn't... Your assumptions and lowball beyond that don't hold water. Simple.
