Or, would you just leave off cosmic completely, and the fact that they do so much damage in the first place is why they can bypass each other's DR, nothing else can?
Cosmic on DR doesn't prevent big enough attacks from doing damage anyway. Do more points than the DR, damage occurs normally. Mostly what it's good for is resisting Cosmic (Irresistible) on attacks, which I'm not sure Kryptonian punches or heat vision really need. Maybe some armor divisor on the heat vision, sure, but I don't know that it blows through all regular armor even at low levels of HP damage.
