Kingdom Come, Emperor Joker and Ending Battle have all done this, all showing why and how Injustice would never happen and they were all written years before that game came out. For bonus points, The Sound of One Hand Clapping shows that Joker would never even get the opportunity to pull off this plan. Super hearing and super speed. Then Supes proceeds to deconstruct and dismantle his entire schtick just as a big middle finger to him

I think the point is that every universe isn't supposed to be taken as the same. Injustice, in particular, was portrayed as a universe where such a thing could happen, regardless of what sense it made in relation to other Superman tellings. It had its own internal logic, and, to its credit, it operated on that logic the whole way through, regardless of how non-sensical people may have felt the start was. Like, it's boring if Superman is so OP that such a thing can literally never happen. The entire point of Injustice was to be a "what if" scenario to make an interesting storyline out of an otherwise OP, fairly boring character.
