How can people with the power to stop time outside of themselves still properly see? Wouldn't photons be frozen in time too?

If the Flash was traveling faster than the speed of light and looked over his shoulder behind him, would he see anything?
Or would it just be black?

his super power is not just "running really fast", but manipulating speed at his will.

He rarely hits the speed of light. When he does, he enters that tunnel thing, IIRC.

He has super speed, not super alertness. He was probably preoccupied.

I figure he has about as much chance tripping at super speed as normal people have tripping at regular speed.

doesn't he run at like a normal guy speed from his point of view

it's just that he can tune out so running like 5,000 miles feels like it only took him a second.

Yea his perspective is relative. He can run at super speed and to him it seems like he is just a normal jogger. The world slows down for him

his super power is not just "running really fast", but manipulating speed at his will.

No, his Superpower is "Magic bandaid that solves all problems and allows whatever the writer wants", i.e. "Speedforce". Even when the Speedforce "Explains" something it broke it does it by breaking other stuff and not mentioning it. It's one of the most blatant and prolific Macguffins in fiction. It goes from one pseudoscience explanation to another like an Oroburos Human Centipede of shit consumption and production. It's like when in Spinal Tap when they crank their amps up to eleven, except Spinal Tap does it as a joke and the Speedforce is a joke. No other superpower spends as much effort trying to convince you it makes sense while continuously sodomizing reality. Essentially, the writers for The Flash are the Donald Trump's of the comic world.

P.S. I mostly just like to make fun of the Speedforce, don't get too mad.

Magic, nanomachines, and the Speed Force.

Those three things can explain literally everything.

The Flash gets his powers from the Speed Force

The Speed Force is basically a magic power that can be defined primarily as "does whatever allows for speed-based powers to work", with a secondary definition of "does a lot of other random stuff too when the writers want it to"

Speed Force.

But this actually does bring up a good point that pre-SF, Flashes and other speedsters would have to have special vision to compensate for the doppler effect. Like ultraviolet vision or maybe even X Ray vision.

Which, come to think, Superman is both a speedster and non-SF.

It's mostly bullshit because The Flash should literally be invincible in canon. The ability to go faster than light means you can literally delete causality. The ability to think faster than light gives you infinitismal immortality--That is, the ability to exist forever between time whenever you want. The list goes on. As long as they maintain this as concretely his power, it means him being defeated by anything short of equal an equivalent or greater (Another between-time entity or a being of Omnipotence and Omniscience) is ludicrous. The easiest solution is to not make your characters potency bloat past the point where you could make sensible and relatable stories and conflicts. But DC has never been particularly good at that (Cough Superman cough).
