Ha ha. Nice. Thanks.
The time thing is something I enjoy in general. Star Trek, Dr. Who, Twilight Zone, etc.
But Superman flying counter clockwise, yeah silly.
The Flash movie did the time thing. Okay but meh. Funny ending cameo.

The Flash movie did the time thing.
The Flash allowed changing the past kinda sorta, but by having an unlimited number of similar worlds in the multiverse, it made a new problem (shared by more recent comic books) . . . when you kill off a character, they don't stay dead. This has been a thing for sometime in comics, but in the past they resorted to seance's, guys with undefined mystic powers like Dr. Fate and Dr. Strange, the "fake" death (Superman can stop his own heart from beating with no bad effects), bolts of electricity (Lightning Lad). But they couldn't be tempted to snag a spare Superman from Earth #342, and hope that Earth #342 doesn't have Darkseid, Lex Luthor or Gorilla Grodd floating about (Mr. Mxyzptlk can likely go to whichever earth he likes, and may be torturing dozens of Supermen.)
Once Flash creator Gardner Fox came up with Earth-1 vs. Earth-2, to allow for new versions of old heroes, and to mitigate a number of anachronisms, he opened up a can of worms that can now never be closed.
