No, a group of strong people. He had said "Men of Steel" after all. Same with that last part of the sentence with "Dark Knights". That part is also just people who strike at terror from the darkness like Oliver. The only time Bruce was mentioned on Earth One is in Season 6 when Oliver mentioned Bruce Wayne and even then we don't know if he is Batman. As for Superman, we only know of his Earth Thirty Eight self since that scene with Rip doesn't really count. Ok I feel you took the sentence a bit too literally. He used plural to make it vague as to if he was referring to the particular Man of Steel that fans know about, but that doesn't mean there is literally more than one Man of Steel. They wouldn't do something like having "Men of Steel" refer to Captain Atom or Metamorpho. The implication is Superman definitely included in his referral.

Yep, I was talking about the Season 6 Bruce Wayne name drop. Prior to that we thought he didn't exist on Earth-1 at all, but now he does. Who's to say Clark Kent isn't hovering around but we just haven't seen him yet? Not like we've visited Earth-1 National City before. Well i am pretty sure we would have heard about aliens and stuff if he existed. See the reason the show Supergirl is not on Earth One in the first place is because if that was the case, they wouldn't be able to explain why Oliver or Barry etc haven't mentioned any aliens such as Superman or War World which were things long before Supergirl. Possibly even when Oliver was on Lian Yu. So same thing with his Earth Thirty Eight counterpart who simply couldn't exist at this point as Superman. He could just be late in showing up or hasn't discovered his powers yet. It's called the Arrowverse because Oliver was the first public hero. There's the JSA who were active superheroes long before Oliver was born, but we hadn't even heard of them until 2016.
