Superman is NOT Super in the Justice League

OK. We are to issue No. 15 in the Justice League and with the exception of the first issue, I've seen nothing from Superman to warrant him being the most powerful hero on the planet.
In the latest issue, Aquaman throws him for a loop and he disappears for pages.
Then, he gets zapped by lighting and is imprisoned in water.
Can DC's writers come up with nothing better than that?
De-power Superman, that's the writers' angle to handling the Man of Steel in the JLA.
At least the writers are being somewhat creative with Shazam in the back up story, but Superman aside, the main stories in the JLA since the first several issues have not been exciting or imaginative.

The Worst Animated Movie With Superman

What is the worst-ever animated movie/episode that Superman has been in?
Without question it is "The Savage Time" (2002).
Superman's powers -- strength and invulnerability were laughable here.
Women Woman did far better.
Superman would have been better to have been written out of this plot completely.
Bullets stunned him. He could barely smash through a thin steel wall.
His heat vision wasn't strong enough here to melt chocolate.

Butch Lukic, who directed "Savage Time," did redeem 

himself somewhat a year later when he directed another 

continued series of episodes, "Hereafter," that starred 

Superman and Vandal Savage. That was ironically one of 

the best of the "Justice League" animated series 

productions.
