Any true Superman fan knows that Superman himself originated in Cleveland, Ohio. Thanks to then-local high school students, writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, who teamed up to create the iconic superhero and his ordinary alter ego, Clark Kent, in 1933, we’ve oohed and aahed over the protector and his life-saving measures for decades, and the franchise has continued to deliver to this day.
The latest installment is a reboot of the Superman movie franchise, set to hit theaters on July 11, which was filmed in its birthplace of Cleveland last summer. A trailer for the film was released in May, showcasing many of the city’s recognizable landmarks, including Progressive Field, Terminal Tower, Public Square, the Detroit-Superior Bridge, and the Leader Building, which serves as the fictional newspaper, the Daily Planet.
