Celebrate Superman’s 85th anniversary with a new collection of iconic stories and more.

Superman first showed up on the scene on April 18, 1938 – I’m a day late, but not so late that I can’t wish the Man of Steel a happy birthday. The creation of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster has become a symbol of hope, justice, and the inspiration for dozens of comic book heroes. While The Phantom was the first – Superman caught the imagination of generations.

As part of the celebrations, James Gunn announced that Superman: Legacy, his movie about young Clark, is in pre-production. This means we may get casting news in the next several months. It’s set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
