The epitome of superhero comics:

From the pages of JLA 7

Two Hours earlier:
Wonder Woman: Hey Batman, is it ok to pull the Earth out its orbit just a bit?
Batman: (playing with his Bat-phone, not really paying attention) Huh, yeah sure, do whatever.
WW: Are you sure though, shouldn't you do some calculations?
BM: Huh? Oh... yeah... I uh, ran it through the Bat-computer, it's all good (goes back to angry birds)

If you are wondering how do they even wrap the lasso around the earth in the first place (and if it's that big of a rope, how it would not crush whole cities just by being tethered to Earth), here's the scientific answer:

1) It's a magic lasso.

2) Comic books.
