Superman to me is as boring as things get. His power levels change drastically based on whoever is writing, whatever was written first isn't necessarily what should be followed. There would be no plot for him at all if he was literally just like God, flying so fast around the earth that he turns back time and such.

Superman isn't even the most powerful being in the DC Universe.  One character that has an overpowering issue is The Spectre:

He has failed to be able to consistently get his own series, because no one knows how to prevent him from being overpowered.

Yeah, DC has a very complex mythos, and because it is so old and there is no central doctrine, writers contradict older writers. 

I don't think anyone knows who the strongest being is in DC, but I'd guess it would have to be the various versions of God that have creeped up in comics over the years, like The Presence, The Voice, The Hand and The Source.  They are literally the Gods of the universe, so they should be able to beat anyone be causing them to no longer exist lol.  But anyone who knows DC and Marvel through their super-complicated events knows that no one really knows.

Which is why I like Batman being smarter than Superman.  It makes better plots for both of them.  I think it should be the mainline canon from now on, and use side stories if you want to change it up.  But we'll see, right now that seems to be the case.
