Join Superman Day Festivities Featuring Supergirl And Krypto

Big Blue and his cousin gets his due this Saturday.

This Saturday is Superman Day, celebrating the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics #1 back in 1938 — that’s 88 years of saving the world. Yeah…we’re getting dangerously close to Superman being older than just about anyone alive today

This Year’s Twist: The Super-Family Expands

This year, Supergirl is joining the celebration as hype builds for the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie hitting this June. It’s a smart spotlight move, especially as DC continues shaping its next generation of heroes. Supergirl brings a slightly different vibe — still powerful, but with a more emotional and grounded edge that fans have really connected with lately.

And she’s not showing up alone…

• Krypto is back, because every superhero deserves a good dog
• Lobo is expected to crash the party, bringing his chaotic, over-the-top energy
• Jason Momoa is tied to Lobo, and has called it a dream role
