Fly into space and reverse the Earth’s rotation. This way we travel back in time. I will the use my knowledge of the future to become like Lex Luthor.
Use your Lex Luthor wealth to eliminate inequality, right? insert padme face
you destroy earth.. spend the next 47 hours desperately trying to figure out how to actually time travel with your powers
No no, that is actually canonically one of Superman's powers.
yhea, that movie ending was strange
Reference.
I know the reference, but ever since they movie came out, we were all wondering how nonsensical it is
That's just something he can do. Earth's yellow sun gives him super powers, one of which is the ability to turn time backwards by reversing the spin of the Earth's rotation!
I thought that the earth rotated in reverse because from his perspective that is what time did, run in reverse?
My puny human mind cannot comprehend what happened because I'm not from Krypton.
lets face it, turning back time makes all of his other powers unnecessary.
zod attacks? hi back to yesterday and tell louis to put some kryptonite in their exact landing site and let the local law police take care of them.
A volcano blows up a city, go a week in the past and tell them to evacuate...
I'm not a superman expert, but my understanding is that he only did that in one movie. If so, it is correct to say that it is canonically one of his powers, but that doesn't mean all versions of him have that power. If people talk about time traveling Superman they're talking about the one that can do that.
those movies had strange superpowers.
memory erasing kisses.
