He's apologising for that, and not, I don't know, asking Mister Miracle to boom tube him to Daxam? Without warning Oh El or presumably anyone else important, might I add? Superman really fucked up this time.

He's apologising for doing something that he understands to be wrong (and hasn't internalized to be 'not his fault'), not for something that he considers to have been the 'right' decision based on the information he had at the time (wrong in hindsight, but he doesn't see it as being wrong to start with). OL's decision-making process is really alien to the rest of the League, so it's not surprising that they don't automatically assume that he made the right choices when someone accuses him of doing something wrong. Superman-16p probably still thinks Paul's handling of the situation with Nabu was very wrong, and that also colours his perceptions of Paul's decision-making.

That's why I can't wait to see Paul resolve the Rimbor situation for the League. Really force it down their throats that what they believe is right isn't always right and that sometimes they really can only pick the least bad option/pragmatic option at the time.

"Batman." Since Jade's exo-mantle includes scry wards and she hasn't taken off her helmet I'm not completely sure what her expression is, but I can guess. "You're going after Batman."

"Sort of."

I know there is a joke about prep time in there, but it's not coming to me.

The problem is that if his solution is too far outside their worldview, they can avoid thinking about that by just being annoyed that he 'rushed things' and didn't let them come up with the 'right' solution.

That might be a little hard to do as Mr. Zoat has Rimbor declaring the Justice League war mongers and indicated that the truth of them being under mind control when that happened is not going to help their case at all. Paul is going to have to save the day in a way they don't want and they can only shut up and accept it.

I feel like we're talking past each other, but I'm too tired to be sure.

A Red oni and a Blue oni with contrasting personalities is a Japanese trope, associated originally with Zenki and Goki, oni from Japanese folklore. There's a tv trope for it.

Red\Blue dichotomy is a very common thing across many cultures, likely due to how the two colours are on the opposite ends of the perceivable spectrum and thus feel like opposites on a fundamental level.
