The first Superman Day was June 12, 2013. It was a date selected by DC Comics and Warner Brothers to celebrate Superman's 75th Anniversary. [1] The day was chosen to coincide with the release date of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. [2] Subsequent Superman Days continued to be celebrated on the same day until 2025, when it was celebrated on the actual Superman anniversary, April 18, the day when the first issue of Action Comics, by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster was released in 1938. Warner Bros. celebrated the date by releasing several new comics and hosting a special screening of Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie in the Warner Bros. Studio Lot. [3]
