Welcome to the Superman Super Site


Superman is the brainchild of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who first envisioned the character in 1932 and later had his first appearance in Action Comics #1 in June 1938. What Jerry and Joe did not know at the time was that they had created a character that would become the signature icon of DC Comics and the most universally recognized hero in human history.

Since 1938, the character of Superman/Clark Kent has appeared in every imaginable media form including television, film, novelizations, and even a Broadway show.

Being Superman is the childhood fantasy of every little boy and girl (they of course want to be Supergirl). He is an enduring emblem of the American dream, the young immigrant who comes to the United States, embraces the culture and makes something of himself and enriches his adopted nation. He is a classical hero in the modern age who fights criminals, rescues the helpless and has a sense of morals and justice as strong and unshakeable as he is.

Since 1998, the Superman Super Site's mission statement has been to bring you all the latest news, updates, and information pertaining to the Man of Steel and the Superman universe in general.

It is a mission we are proud to maintain for all the fellow Superman fans of the world and everyone who visits our site because, without you, we would not exist.





Director James Gunn recently received a reprint copy of "Action Comics #1" signed by Jerry Siegel from the Superman co-creator's two grandsons, Michael and James Larson.

The "Superman" filmmaker took to social media to share the news along with a photo from the Atlanta, GA set of the upcoming film of himself alongside the Larsons with the signed copy of the iconic comic.

"A gift from Jerry Siegel's grandsons Michael and James Larson - a reprint of the first issue of Action Comics signed by Jerry," stated Gunn. "It's been great having Mike and Jim around keeping Jerry's spirit alive in the birth of the DCU! Here we all were on the day of the cast read through."

Production on the feature film is currently underway in and around the Atlanta, GA area as well as Svalbard, Norway where scenes are currently being filmed featuring the Fortress of Solitude. Filming is also scheduled to take place in both Cleveland and Cincinnati, OH at a later date.

"Superman" tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, María Gabriela De Faría as The Engineer, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and model Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher.

The fan-favorite Superman stories that defined the '90s return in a massive omnibus collection!

The 1990s saw a new wave of creative vitality and fan interest in comics' original superhero, with four tightly connected monthly series bringing the Man of Steel to new heights: Superman, Adventures of Superman, Action Comics, and Superman: The Man of Steel.

These four series, while continuing to retain their own distinct voices, worked closely in tandem with each other, telling a detailed larger narrative of Superman's never-ending battle. In turn, DC added numbered triangle icons to each cover, indicating to readers exactly where in the story a given Superman issue would fall - ushering in what readers fondly remember as "the triangle era."

Following years of demand, these revered stories return with Superman: The Triangle Era Omnibus Vol. 1, a comprehensive collection of the first year of these comics from creators including Dan Jurgens, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, Roger Stern, Jon Bogdanove, Bob McLeod, and more. Stories include "Time and Time Again," "Blackout," and Clark Kent revealing his secret identity to Lois Lane!

This volume collects Superman #49-64; Adventures of Superman #472-486; Action Comics #659-673; Superman: The Man of Steel #1-8.

"Superman: The Triangle Era Omnibus Vol. 1" Hardcover Edition retails for US$125.00 and is currently available for pre-order from Amazon with a scheduled release date of Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, actor Michael Rosenbaum offered an update on the possibility of an animated sequel to "Smallville" which he and Tom Welling are developing alongside the original series creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar.

"All I could share is that it's a great idea. We have Al and Miles, the creators of Smallville backing us up," stated Rosenbaum. "When it's the right time, we'd like to go and do this; pitch to Warner Bros. It has to be the right time, and right now is not the right time. We had the strike, we had a change of executives at DC - one being one of my best friends in the world, James Gunn. When the time's right, I think it's something that's a no brainer, unless they have other ideas. We'd like to do it - the whole cast would like to do it. They would voice their own character from the show, and we have a concept of what the show is."

"Smallville" premiered in 2001 and aired for 10 seasons on The WB and The CW. The series followed the coming-of-age adventures of a teenaged Clark Kent (Welling) in his fictional hometown of Smallville, Kansas, before formally becoming the Man of Steel. Following the series finale in 2011, the storyline resumed in comic-book form, with 22 issues of Season 11 from April, 2012 to November, 2013.

Rosenbaum's podcasts, "Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum" and "Talk Ville", air every Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, on YouTube and other various podcast platforms.
