Faster than a speeding bullet, more

powerful than a locomotive… The Man of

Steel fights a never-ending battle for truth,
justice, and the American way.
From his blue uniform to his flowing red cape to the "S" shield on his chest,
Superman is one of the most immediately recognizable and beloved DC
Super Heroes of all time. The Man of Steel is the ultimate symbol of truth,
justice, and hope. He is the world's first Super Hero and a guiding light to all.

The tip of the spear in a revolution that would change the landscape of pop
culture, Superman has spent the last eighty years redefining what it means to
stand for truth, justice and the American way. The last survivor of the
doomed planet Krypton, raised in the quiet heartland of Smallville, Kansas,
Superman is as much a legend as he is a man: the gold standard of heroism,
compassion and responsibility.

Though his powers make him god-like next to his human compatriots,
Superman's story is not one of greed or conquest. Instead, he strives to
represent the inherent goodness of the human spirit, and the capacity of
every living thing to do right by their neighbors.
