The Kryptonian deliberately avoided crushing the communications board against the wall. He thought he might have use for that. But it was fun to make an entrance like this, and note the fear and surprise in his enemies' eyes. Superman must have done it like this.

Elan: [crashing through the window] The jig is up, Kubota! Surrender now!
Therkla: Elan, I left the door open for you, you know.
Elan: Right, that's why I had to go around and find another way to crash dramatically into the scene. Don't worry, you're new at this, it's an easy mistake to make.

Mag entered in the manner so many of these self-absorbed supernatural cretins seemed to adore. He blasted the door into a cloud of flying splinters with what I presumed was magic.
"What's going on?" shouted Dorcas. "What about the door?"
"We'll open the door! We'll open the door!" Masklin shouted.
"How?"
"Well, it didn't look very thick, did it?"
The world of nomes is, to humans, a rapid world. They live so fast that the things that happen around them seem quite slow, so the lorry seemed to drift across the floor, up the ramp and hit the door in a leisurely way. There was a long drawn-out boom and the noise of bits of metal being torn apart, a scraping noise across the roof of the cab, and then there was no door at all, only darkness studded with lights.

We've concluded that there is no way any man or machine could have kept control of Nikki Sixx at this time in his life. If you put a 1987 era Nikki Sixx on one side of a brick wall and heroin on the other side, you will end up with a Nikki Sixx-shaped hole in your brick wall. The wall could be only six-feet long and have a door in it, and he'd still go right through the thing like it was paper.
A Typical Day If You Were Nikki Sixx's Personal Assistant:
You: Hey, Nikki, have you... oh no, my wall! Oh my. I should not have left that heroin lying behind that brick wall. For this I have no one to blame but myself.
<Get me to the door!> I yelled to the others.
<Left... okay, now right... okay now... jeez, what are you, blind? Left, right, okay, CHARGE!>
WHAMMMM!
I felt like I'd hit a truck. I backed up and slammed forward again.
WHAMMMM! Crunch.
<Man, that was a tough door!> I said.
<Um, Jake? You missed the door. That was the wall.>

If the attack had come by way of the only doorway, so that the pirates could have concentrated their weapons upon one or two Patrolmen, the commander might have had time enough to do what he was under compulsion to do. But while the Patrolmen were still in space a plane of force sheared off the entire side of the room, a tractor beam jerked the detached wall away, and the attackers floated in en masse.
The second thing that happened was the arrival of Superman, Dev-Em, Captain Action, and Action Boy, tearing apart what remained of the roof and the rooms above Darkseid's chamber. Kal and Dev had used their X-ray visions to pinpoint his location, and smashed their way to his darkened room. A few seconds beforehand, they wouldn't have been able to breach the force-field with all their combined strength. Now, four fists struck, and the door and wall around it crumbled. Power Girl got there an instant afterward.
Me get up, crash through roof.
Me am hear her yell, "Number one, wait! You am not go out naked!"
Oops!
Me crash back in through roof, embarrassed as all heaven. "How me am remember that? Sorry, sourbunch."
Helpfully, her am hand over Bizarro No. 1 medallion. Her am so unthoughful, that am why me love her.
Then, medallioned, me crash through another part of roof. Me figure out that, at end of this gig, me got to put on new roof so me have some part left to crash through next time.
