Postmodernist abandonment of objective reality is in no way Nietzschean. I think (no offense) you are conflating postmodernist nihilism with the "nihilism" associated with Nietzsche. Nietzsche was a "nihilist" only in the sense that he was an atheist and thus believed there was no divine direction to anything and thus no divine or "natural" morality. But despite that, he loved humanity and wanted humanity to survive, grow, and flourish. He wanted not the "just do whatever you want" man made morality of the postmodernists, but moralities guided by the objective state of things that would improve man. This is really what he's talking about when he refers to the ubermench. He's not talking about a bigger/smarter/faster homo sapien, he's talking about an evolved form of man who can psychologically flourish with fully knowledge that the universe has no divine direction. Picrelated is a decent summary.
