As he did in Superman the Movie, if Supes could locate the exact area where Krypton was could he do the round and round circle routine and bring Krypton back ?

It's safe to say no. The reversal of the earth's rotation wouldn't turn back the clock, either. It did within the context of that film, but in reality the only thing that would change is that a good deal life would be snuffed out through flooding, seismic, and meteorological changes; yet, time marches on. -
No cuz the round and round thing just spun earth's rotation back and time moved backward...There's no Krypton to do that with...it went BOOM!

Hmmmm....
Yes, 'cos it's a comic book. All he'd have to do is go back in time to the 1950's when the editors allowed all sorts of wackiness.

Actually, outside of our yellow sun's sphere of influence, could Supes even fly and not die space ?
He did in Superman Returns, but it seems like he shouldn't have been able to do that.Comment

Well, I'm looking at this as a case by case basis built on what I imagine
the particular mindset of the particular production.
That said... I think most Supes productions base his powers on the yellow sun, so yeah, he'd perish pretty quickly outside of the yellow sun influence.
(And in RETURNS wasn't Supes in a spaceship on his travels to Krypton?)"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive.

How do people in comics fly, anyway? I never really thought of it, but for most of them, it's little more than magic, isn't it? It just seems to be a form of paranormal levitation in which they are able to control direction. Even if a bird didn't need to breathe and was resistant to cold and the vacuum, there would be no lift or thrust available in space.Comment

Too bad he didn't... die that is in Superman Returns. I love Superman and for me that movie had me rooting for Cyclops to smack him around for hitting on his girlfriend and step kid that he'd been taking care of for 5 years. That movie was the first time ever I didn't like Superman. Shame on you Bryan Singer. shame
Sorry but I really can't stand that flick. Excellent point btw.Comment

"Spinning back time" for an ending is the biggest of a FEW reasons I thinkToo bad he didn't... die that is in Superman Returns.

RETURNS is superior to S:TMP.
(As far as Superman being a "heel" in RETURNS... meh... Supes loves Lois
a bit TOO much... it's a big part of what makes him... erm.... "human"
i.e. "likeable" IMHO)

I'll grant you the point on the spinning backwards aspect and I see your point on the "love is his weakness" make him more human...but... psycho, stalker human characteristics seem to be unbefitting the Superman I prefer. Even Clark on Smallville isn't that 'sprung' and he was a teenager.

Superman's home planet, Krypton, may have had stronger gravity. The inhabitants may have been made of denser molecules. Earth by comparison has weaker gravity. So when you place a person like that on Earth, they could jump higher and preform more impressive physical feats than natives of this world. There was a Buck Rogers episode which referred to this. The Cosmic Whiz Kid has a short guy who is an assassin. He explains it in similar terms. It's a Sci-Fi staple but does sort of bypass the Yellow Sun theory.
When John Byrne took over the comic in the 1980's he tried to explain it as somewhat of a telepathic power. For instance if Supes lifts a building the building should crumble. If he uses a telepathic power of some sort to maintain it's integrity as he lifts it then it won't crumble. It's like levitation but on steroids that Supes can fly.Comment
