No one asks super hero movies to make sense, something the Superman movie took a little too far. Superman stops one of two missiles launched by Lex Luthor, but the second hits the west coast of the United States causing a massive earthquake. Superman tries to slow the damage, but isn’t fast enough to save Lois Lane. Enraged, Superman flies into space and begins circling the Earth, reversing the planet’s spin which, somehow, turns time backward. Superman saves Lois, but didn’t care to stop the missile. Just goes to show movie Superman is just selfish.
