Superman and Darkseid's ability in the show are governed exclusively by the drama. The Omega Sanction can't actually be blocked because it's not really a beam of energy. And Superman is way stronger than he appears there.

Superman's greatest power is the ability to pull any power he wants out of the hat in his ass, any time he wants.

This. The in-story reason is a literal Deus Ex Machina because the DC's version of God deemed him too important to be erased from history.

Not as bad as the movie where Batman bluffs Darkseid into leaving even though Darkseid is smarter than Batman and telepathic and the dumbest reason for believing he'd go through with the threat.

Superman can do whatever the plot demands. Remember when he reversed time by flying around the world backward?

I kind of like this interpretation of the Omega Sanction because it's consistent with Darkseid's characterization as some kind of death god who's constantly holding everyone's lifeline at scissor point, but whose judgements can be overruled by higher deities.

The Omega Beam isn't as powerful in the DCAU as it is in the comics. Superman tanks hits all the time.

He dodges them in the DCAU too sort of. He really just runs away for a bit, jumps off a parademon at the last second, and the beam hits the demon instead.

That was Silver Age superman. Modern Superman can't do that.

Dividing them arbitrarily like that is pointless. There are examples of stuff like that from every single era.

Remember in Superman Returns when he literally was able to pick up an island of kryptonite and throw it into the sun?

How about in the latest films where he literally shrugs off death?

Just because you don't like some doesn't mean you can shrug it off as 'non-canon' and pretend it doesn't exist.

They are actually completely different people. Golden Age Superman, Silver Age Superman, and "Superman" otherwise known as Post-Crisis Superman are 3 totally different people. New 52 Superman is a 4th totally different person as well.

Jesus fuck. Obviously I get how the whole fucking multiverse goes. My point is that Superman is always arbitrarily as powerful as he needs to be.

Case in fucking point, the example the whole fucking topic is about is an example of the same Superman gaining new powers as the plot demands.

Chi-Chi hit him but he was never injured as a result. Might have also been filler.
