I don't believe Superman is offering the bottle. He's holding it and offering the keys.
Actually, the keys part is fake. But Superman offering the liquor bottle is real.
For added context, he's offering the bottle to SixPack, an alcoholic and minor hero. Unknown to himself, SixPack is a sleeping god whose dreams warp reality. He was starting to sober up after a traumatic event but it was causing him to dream a version of the world without superheroes, our world. Superheroes were losing their power or becoming vulnerable.
And so, Superman figures this out and to prevent the collapse of their known universe, he offers SixPack a bottle of liquor so that he forgets this other world and the sleeping god becomes dormant again.
Huh. Kind of a depressing moment then, but I can see him doing it for the greater good. I guess the few contacts he had with the Endless and Constantine affected him.
He's a part of Section 8, a team that's made up of the seemingly useless heroes.
One of the other members with some recognition is DogWelder. He welds dogs. To people's faces.
Not even metal ones. Just straight up dogs.
I've heard of Dogwelder. He's creepy.
