Especially since they had visited earth already!
But nooooo I want to fly my stupid dog at home and build space ships that look like a **** even though traditional procreation is outlawed.

Yep. Another thing I hate about MoS.

I guess they were afraid to leave that kotex.
How does Superman make hairpin turns in the sky?

Is that a kryptonian tampon?

So, I was in a little record store/pop culture shop/GameStop type of place the other day, and they had some old comics on a spinning rack, and, when I saw this book, it was like I'd seen the fact of God. I was enlightened, and I understood. I know why Man of Steel is...well, Man of Steel.
It's 1972. 6-year old Zack Snyder is waiting for his haircut, and, after seeing several episodes of the Batman TV shows, he's coming to the realization that he likes superheroes, when he sees it. His very first Superman comic; the one that would define his idea of who Superman is for the remainder of his life:
Unfortunately, he got called up to get his haircut before he could read it, so, he only had the cover to judge.

Little did Zack know, Pa Kent was just trying to recreate some Michael Jackson dance moves.

People would flip out if they tried to use that cover today. There would be calls for a boycott and someone would get fired. I love that they have dead Pa Kent right above the light-hearted "Runaway Superbaby" story ad.
I want this answered.
No one can, so they conveniently avoid it. That question says: Superman makes no sense.
It must tie in to why he can fly at all I suppose. Being able to push off from the ground is one thing but there's clearly something else going on that he can stay in the air. So whatever it is that he's doing to stop himself from dropping is the same thing he can do to halt his momentum, spin and shoot off in the other direction.
That still makes no sense in terms of physics. Pushing off to leap is one thing -- but you can't leap and change direction at a whim. You can't fly supersonic speed, stop, and go the other direction.
This is the key problem with making comic book superhero movies that appear on their face to be based in reality -- the more real it looks, the more you question the reality.

Insufferable S.O.B.
His dense molecular structure defies gravity.

There's really nothing about Superman that goes against known laws of physics, except maybe flying in space.
I don't understand, what should make it impossible for Supes to make hairpin turns?

Gravity doesn't explain his abilities, defy it or not.
If he's so dense, why doesn't he sink into the center of the earth?

Why? You're telling me there's scientific fact that makes Superman real?
What does Superman do that stops his inertia in one direction so that he can bullet-off in another? There's no force expressed in the opposite direction to allow for that.
At least Iron Man has jets and retros that kind of look like it could work.
