Metroman is not as fast as we thought. I calculated his minimum speed needed to achieve the feat.

Here is a calculation of Metroman's minimum walking speed.Fact1: 0.1mm is the limit of human visual acuity. That means it is impossible to tell, with the naked eye, a displacement of 0.1mm or less. In other words, an object that displaces a distance of 0.1mm or less would appear as it didn't move at all. Hence a statue.
Fact2: All objects in the Metroman scene were moving with a real speed of less than 1m/s.
Fact3: No object was shown more than 5 seconds of Metroman's perspective (screen time).
Now Let's find Metroman minimum speed.
Assume the fastest moving object in all the scenes with real speed of 1m/s that traveled 0.1mm during a total of 5 seconds it was shown on screen (Metroman's perspective). No object was shown with more than 5 seconds of screen time.
Normally the object will have moved 5m in 5 seconds. So 5m/0.1mm = 50,000 times scale factor. So everything Metroman does in human speed in this state can be multiplied by 50,000 to get his minimum speed.
For example, Assuming 3mph is average walking speed then Metroman was walking around at 3x50,000mph or 150,000 Mph.
Speed of sound is 767mph.
So 150,000/767 = Mach 196 is HIS MINIMUM walking SPEED.
Now here's the calculation of Supeman's speed.
According to the speed of the lightning shown coming from Flash, Superman was estimated to punch at 1/4 the speed of light. Punching speed is about 6x that of walking speed. So Superman has a walking speed of 1/24 the speed of light. This is faster than Metroman.

No, he was a statue when Flash actually went light speeds. He wasn't going anywhere near that during his fight against Superman. Nowhere near
Carv please read better. I already posted the speed of both characters (both under the speed of light). Superman is faster. Flash moving at light speed and statueing Superman is irrelevent due to:
1. Superman was statued when Flash was moving at 1/4 the speed of light.
and
2. Fiction inconsistency (two feats that contradict) if you assume that Superman can't purposely pull himself out of statued state if he wants to.
