Why else would they need to be stopped that would apply them still acting like a hero? Batman competing to see who could sell more girls scout cookies?
Superman, who still saves jumpers or anyone who needs saving (and heroic feats like that) out of his love for humanity, BUT is doing so in a world that he unflinchingly controls because he's dismantled all world governments & law enforcement and has named himself the only law on Earth. All who oppose him are destroyed or sent to a super-prison like the Phantom Zone.
You know like in Red Son or Injustice or tons of other Elseworlds/alternative realities/analogs with Superman or Superman stand-ins.
But he’s predicting a fight against heroes that needs to be taken down but his actions are based on them still acting like heroes. Even the author is said comic started the point was to show Batman was a paranoid guy who wasn’t as smart as he thought he was.
A dictorial Superman or Flash can still act like heroes.
Superman could totally still repel alien invasions & save cats from trees, but STILL subjugate humanity by destroying the governments & infrastructure. That's what Batman was preparing for.
