(CLEVELAND, Ohio)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jim Tressel are joining TourismOhio to celebrate Superman’s return to the Heart of it All.

Before he became known around the world as the ‘Man of Steel,’ Superman was created by two Cleveland teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who dreamed up the superhero while attending high school in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood in the early 1930s. Now, nearly a century later, the superhero is back in Ohio in a new movie filmed in the city that gave him life.

Superman (2025) will open in theaters nationwide tomorrow.

“The story of Superman has captivated generations of families from all over the world — from grandparents who grew up reading the original comics to kids who'll be heading to the theaters to enjoy the newest iteration of this classic adventure,” said Governor DeWine. “This is a proud moment for Cleveland, for Ohio, and for all of us who still believe in the power of imagination.”
