...No, it's not comparable, because they're two complete different feats. Pure travel speed versus super speed, but for the fact that Superman was talking to someone else, in real time, I can absolutely confirm that Gladiator was moving much faster.
The immense irony is the calculation showed Superman rebuilding the Moon puts this to shame going by your calculated speed. AMD your reason for Superman talking to someone else is retarded.

It's just saying he's really really fast. You can find similar statements for all characters in comics, like Thor being called "As fast as the Lightning he commands", which he most definitely is not.
LMAO, that's ****ing retarded. How is it hyperbole when they LITERALLY phrase it that the only way gladiator could do it was if he was fast enough to blitz hiemdall in the time it takes him to blink

the moon wasn't fighting back or reacting. Plus, as stated, he was holding an active conversation with Batman who does not have superspeed and had multiple exchanges with him while fixing said moon. It was a demonstration of superspeed, yes, but not combat.
And unless you think Batman could have had an identical conversation with Gladiator while he was traveling at trillions of times the speed of light, Gladiator's showing was faster.

Anyways, I wanna do some math for you, since you love real world figures.
Just for you, I went and found the smallest galaxy on record.That would be Segue 2, about 221.79 light years across.
Gladiator crossed "multiple" galaxies, so let's lowball again and say 3.
3 × 221.79 = 665.37 light years.
We'll lowball again and say these galaxies were back to back with no gaps.
He traveled this distance in the time it took Heimdall to blink.
Average blink is 300-400 milliseconds. So, he moved 665.37 in about a 3rd of a second.
665.37 × 3 = 1996.11 lightyears in a second.
1996.11 × 3600 = 7,185,996 lightyear an hour.
I had to find a lightyear to mile calculator for this part, but I found that
7,185,196 lightyears is 42,243,778,417,195,910,000 miles.. so, 42.2 quintillion mph.
The speed of light is only 670,616,629 mph.
42,243,778,417,195,910,000 ÷ 670,616,629 = 62992440972.1, so
62,992,440,972, so if we lowball Gladiator TO THE UTMOST then you are correct, he was only moving at 63 billion times the speed of light.
But the average galaxy is about 450 times larger than our starting measurement of Segue 2 at ~222 lightyears.
So... I'm gonna just say **** the math and multiply the end result by 450.
62,992,440,972 x 450 = 2.8346598×10¹³, or 28,346,598,000,000 times the speed of light, so at minimum 30 times faster than Superman's feat.
You didn't have to convert seconds to hours. Light travels at 186,282miles per second.
You can divide then.
No doubt that Glads has the 2nd fastest or 3rd fastest straight line travel feat (behind pre crisis Superman and dude with pluto feat )
But the biggest problem is that we don't know how long it took him to reach those speeds. Even iron man can achieve any speed assignable provide he continues to accelerate indefinitely.
Acceleration is far more important than than top speed.

"The Moon wasn't fighting back." Are you autistic? Genuine question because this is such a terrible argument to say the complexity of the feat doesn't count
Having a conversation with Batman is irrelevant because it's a comic and Superman can do immensely complex tasks at super speed while still talking at normal speed. If you're legitimately arguing that and not trolling, yes you're an idiot. No, it's not an ad hominem. It's an objective observation. You simply don't have even a slight grasp of how much would need to be done.
Trillions of times lightspeed is nice for Gladiator but the calculation for rebuilding the Moon puts that to shame. Just like you shame Mankind every time you think you make an argument worth a ****.

Also where does this say he crossed galaxies. It said he was traveling to kellexs planet
That was on the other side of the universe and the author confirmed that superman did cross galaxies in a matter of second , also can you post clearer images , it's hard to read the dialogues and narrations
