      No no, that is actually canonically one of Superman’s powers.

          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!

            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.

            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.
