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.

Warner Bros. Discovery has won a significant legal victory as a U.S. federal judge dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by the estate of Joseph Shuster, co-creator of the iconic superhero Superman. The ruling clears a potential obstacle ahead of the highly anticipated release of the studio's new "Superman" film, directed by James Gunn and set to debut in theaters on July 11th, 2025.

The lawsuit, filed in January by Shuster's estate, claimed Warner Bros. improperly used the Superman character in international markets such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and others that follow U.K.-style copyright laws. The estate argued that the rights to Superman had reverted to them under British copyright law in 2017, 25 years after Shuster's death, and sought damages for the character’s continued use abroad.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman ruled in favor of Warner Bros., stating the New York court lacked jurisdiction over the case. Judge Furman emphasized that the lawsuit was "brought explicitly under the laws of foreign countries, not the laws of the United States," making it inapplicable in U.S. federal court.

The dismissal is the latest development in a long-running legal battle over Superman's ownership that dates back decades. Superman, first introduced to the world by Shuster and co-creator Jerry Siegel in 1938, was originally licensed to Detective Comics, the company that would later become DC Comics, a Warner Bros. subsidiary.

With legal uncertainties behind it, Warner Bros. is moving full steam ahead toward the release of "Superman" this summer. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker James Gunn, the film stars David Corenswet in the titular role and is expected to usher in a new era for the DC cinematic universe.

A new photo from the set of "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" has revealed the official logo for the upcoming 2026 film.

Spotted on the back of a director's chair, the logo features the iconic "S" shield in red on a blue background along with yellow text spelling our "Supergirl" also set against a blue background.

Starring Milly Alcock ("House of the Dragon") in the title role, "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is based on the Tom King and Bilquis Evely graphic novel of the same name. The film will reportedly deviate from the typical portrayal of Supergirl, exploring a more hardcore and resolute side of the character following Kara Zor-El as she grapples with her life and the meaning of her existence, eventually partnering with an alien girl to seek revenge against those who destroyed her world.

"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Ana Nogueira, and stars Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Jason Momoa in a cameo appearance as Lobo. The film is set for a June 26th, 2026 release.
