At last count, at least 8x to 15x faster than light.

Sometimes he's just as fast as Flash. They race all the time, and lots of times it's a staight up tie. I'd say that Flash would have to be a little faster, or there'd be no point to a Flash. I'm sure, especially in hyperspace, they both can exceed light speed.
Their races mean nothing. Usually neither is going close to their full speed. However Flash has feats that put him way, way past light. So does Supes but not nearly to the degree of Wally.
Excellent answer. If you want to get specific, DC doesn't really have a specific number in their books like Marvel does(or used to do) behind the scenes.
At the moment, it ranges from anywhere near lightspeed to past light, depending on story and writer.
Flash has the speedforce; Surfer can use cosmic power to enter hyperspace; other characters use magic...how the heck does Superman go faster than light? He's just solar-powered, no special energies involved, and no amount of energy in the universe is gonna move a mass AT lightspeed, let alone past it through sheer brute force.
Does Superman have some unmentioned space-warping ability? Or--more likely--is this just an utter and absolute disregard for laws of physics? The latter is allowed, of course, in comics, but then why stop there? Trash all the laws of physics and let's have a warpfest for all.

Nah thats just ur explanation. Where most people can read a comic and not be outraged at the fact Superman can exceed light speed, some people on these boards are. Which is why you will never find an answer to half the questions around, except theory's by the fans... Take comic books with a pinch of salt my friend.
