@deaditegonzo: I don't understand the point you are trying to make here. You said "Supes throwing it is freaking consistent." I am saying it isn't. Then you tried to make the point that Superman is only really vulnerable to Kryptonite when Batman wields it? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense seeing as Superman also couldn't do anything when he was faced with the Kryptonite man, and in Justice League Cyborg was holding the ring and Superman keeled over despite Batman in no way being involved with the situation. Also that scan you posted of Superman fighting a kryptonite covered Batman contradicts your point seeing as how it was Batman wielding kryptonite but Superman was still fine and fighting. There are many scenarios where Superman appears to be inconsistent and Batman is in no way involved.
The ring is Batman's ring, hence it has Super-Bat enhanced powers (essentially his fans would cry if they knew the ring was useless). Superman fought Kryptonite Man for a while before succumbing. And K-Nite man is nearly Superman's strength. He can fight a guy literally covered in Knite, who is near his own power level. That being the case, what could a wimpy guy like Batman do with Knite?
And yes, those second scans I posted were specific to this scenario, IMO, it was another Superman/Batman writer trying to counteract the stupidity shown in things like Hush, or the Dark Knight Returns.
I can list a ton of pre-52 instances where Supes resisted Knite, even to the point of fighting some of his greatest villains while exposed to KNite. And in the New 52, every instance that has been shown where Knite was being used, Supes has resisted to some extent, EXCEPT the one instance that involves Batman's magical Batring which he keeps around specifically to beat Superman. His plot powers make him the least interesting character in the world.
Basically, Superman responds to all Kryptonite the same, except when Batman is involved.
