Superman is very worth it: remember, it's not just his base stats that go up as you promote him, but also the passive multiplier. At EIV he has slightly more attack and defense than the base amounts of EVII Raven if you count the added amount from his passive (the added amount doesn't add to Lexcorp Set's damage, however). He's the most OP character in the game: I made a blog post about it.

I definitely wouldn't use a Wonder Woman/Dawn of Justice on your team at EI. I figured you might've had copies of the character back from when 2.8 was live. She is basically a lead character by definition, however (for full explanation of my terms, see here), as, though she has a team healing effect in her passive, it is premised upon her doing damage. (Harley Quinn characters are better supports and so can be leveled and promoted less, because they often have a support ability, and they heal by a set percentage amount on s2.)

Catwoman/Ame-Comi is probably quite meh: you can get reliable and sizeable power drain on combo enders with Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar placed on any multiple-hit combo ender characters like Wonder Woman/Dawn of Justice, Harley Quinn/Arkham Knight, any of the Ravens, etc. (Helpfully this is a special category on the wiki.)

Raven/Teen Titans is kinda powerful, and I expect some teams to use her, but her passive while powerful when it goes off doesn't provide anything reliable. It'd also probably take you too long to promote her for her to be useful, such that Superman really is the better bet. Solomon Grundy/Earth 2 has possibly some promise, but most teams will forefo using him as he is mostly useful in prolonged games.

Your best hope for a new powerhouse is if all of the 2.8 characters see a challenge repeat, such that you can get/promote Sinestro/Antimatter. You have all of the keys to exploit him (save the Scimitar, though it's not strictly necessary on him) with your LoA set pieces and Batgirl.
