Warner Bros. Discovery and DC invite fans worldwide to celebrate Superman Day on April 18, the anniversary of Superman's debut, with a global, multi-platform celebration for fans of all ages. Fans can participate anywhere in the world through offerings including experiences, products, new comic books, digital content, marathons and more from DC Comics, DC Studios, Warner Bros. Animation, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.

Why it matters

Superman Day encourages fans to wear the iconic S-Shield, the Kryptonian symbol for hope and celebrate Superman as a symbol of strength, heroism and hope. 2026's celebration expands to include Supergirl, also known as Kara Zor-El, and the mischievous not-so-good-boy Krypto the Superdog, ahead of DC Studios' upcoming feature film 'Supergirl,' releasing in theaters worldwide this June from Warner Bros. Pictures.

The details

On April 18, fans can celebrate Superman, Supergirl and Krypto and attend one of three pop-up experiences in Los Angeles, Milan or Fuzhou. Daily Planet-themed newsstands will serve as the center of activity at each pop-up, featuring premium prizes, giveaways and more. Each pop-up activation also features a unique Krypto-themed photo opportunity and a larger-than-life S-Shield symbol. In Los Angeles, the celebration comes to life at The Americana at Brand with a one-day immersive event for fans, families and (at Krypto's request) four-legged friends. The Daily Planet newsstand will offer a free, special edition Daily Planet newspaper, along with themed snacks and beverages (including pup cups). The newsstand is also where fans can win premium prizes and products inspired by Superman, Supergirl and Krypto with a scratch-off activity including a free digital download of last summer's blockbuster feature film 'Superman' (2025). Among the prizes are tickets to the new Superman Experience: Defenders Unite attraction, opening April 18 at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank.
