Thing is, in the movie he then reverses course to get the world spinning the right way again. He changes the rotation twice. I feel like the “visual representation of time travel” explanation is from people who haven’t watched the whole movie, just the clip.
Maybe he overshot and went too far into the past and had to catch up, with raises the question why he didn’t stop everything bad in the movie by punching Lex Luthor right at the start…
This video shows the whole sequence, he un-reverses the Earth’s spin at ~1:38.
