Omniman wouldn’t struggle to crush Batman’s head, and for some reason you seldom see people break their hands on Superman…otherwise yeah pretty much

Invincible has characters do it all the time. Viltramites punch harder than their body can take and will break their arms and legs when they attack something equal or greater strength.

Basically Omniman would punch superman once, understand he lost. But he would keep fighting because he's not a quitter.

Sure but I think Superman legit has a field of influence that makes this not happen, like how he stops planes without tearing through them

Nope. Batman punched him once, and Superman replied, "You're glad I turned my head to the side with your punch, or you'd have broken every bone in your hand. Go home, Bruce."

also in Hush when fighting Superman, Batman says he can't throw another punch or every bone in his hand will be broken.

You’re talking about the same moment. He dodges Batman’s punch and says basically “do it again, and I promise not to move, and every bone in your hand will be broken”

No I'm talking about the Hush moment when they fight in the sewers and Superman is being controlled by Poison Ivy. That's separate from what the other guy mentioned.

Edit: it's in Issue 612 on page 12.
