Happy Birthday Superman

Let’s Celebrate Superman’s 75th Anniversary with Animated Short

From the creative minds of Zack Snyder (Man of Steel), Bruce Timm and produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this short follows Superman through the years, from his first appearance on the cover of Action Comics #1 to Henry Cavill in this year’s Man of Steel…all in two minutes. All aspects of the short are animated, but significant characteristics make it known that one Superman is Christopher Reeves and another Henry Cavill. With that the transition from Superman to Superman through the years flows well, bursting through the comics into a new era.
