Well, that's what happened. Argue with DC, not me. It was a good story and reminded me a bit of the one Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster did during World War II, in which Superman invaded first Germany and then Japan, apprehending Hitler and Hirohito and ending World War II.

My favorite version of Superman by far is the early vigilante Superman, who regularly broke laws to achieve justice for the average Joe. Occasionally that version makes an appearance once in a while.
