That's not what happened. This is how the director choose to visualize time travel from Supermans POV. Superman did not make the globe spin backwards, but while traveling back through time the globe would appear that way to Superman, and to us since it was filmed from Supes POV.
I feel it was a poor choice by the director who was trying to make time travel feel epic.
