Ok, let's say he is. What is that supposed to accomplish? What does reversing the spin of the earth have to do with water rushing back up into the dam, which then repairs itself in reverse? That's rediculous, and that's not what we're seeing. Irregardless of the accuracy or the validity of what we see, what we're supposed to understand is that Superman is flying fast enough to break through the time barrier, and is then traveling back in ti | |

| Oct 2, 2012 at 13:53 | comment | added | Izkata | @DanielRoseman is correct, Superman does have to reset the rotation back to "forward" after he goes far enough: youtube.com/watch?v=CCsHTNP2MaU | |
| Oct 2, 2012 at 13:48 | comment | added | Daniel Roseman | I like Randall's explanation, but don't think I buy it. Doesn't Superman turn around and start flying in the opposite direction to restart the rotation? | |
