That's why you don't go beyond light speed if you hold to Einstein's theories, which DC clearly does. Flash can do it because of the Speed Force thing. No one else gets that pass.

the problem with that, of course, is that superman's powers have been said to contradict the laws of physics and science in general. i don't think he just accelerates and gains mass the way any normal object would.
Well in most fiction they have some kind of "cheat" to bypass light speed.
Like in Star Trek they have warp drive, which creates a bubble of space around the ship and moves that instead
Or Hyperdrive from Star Wars when the ship is converted to a tachyonic state (that's the official explanation, anyway)
Or in Babylon 5 they have hyperspace where they enter another dimension and reenter normal space
Generally if something in fiction is going FTL you can assume it is using a cheat like this to get around relativity
