I can forgive the infamous Deathstroke Identity Crisis fight because the character, from his first appearance, was designed to be a teambuster capable of taking on multiple metahumans through preparation and superior skill. Granted, it stretches the credibility to near-breaking point (particularly with Kyle Rayner), but the fight works well as a dramatic beat. Also, from a writing perspective, I actually like that Slade took advantage of Wally's cockiness at having fought him before. I don't care about any of the Infinite-Mass-Whatever feats that angry Wally fans will argue for, it's still a cool story moment.
Also, I'm willing to let the Liberty Belle/Zoom one go. Partly because I think Zoom was totally blindsided by Liberty Belle reconnecting with the Speed Force. And partly because this issue was written by Johns, y'know, the guy who created Zoom, so I'm willing to give him some latitude there.
The rest are pretty terrible, though. I've read all these showings with their context, and I don't think anyone can really defend Catwoman vs. the Flashes.
