I’m sure I heard somewhere that Julius Schwartz once said Superman’s birthday was on February 29, and I know that this article from Time Magazine celebrating the Man of Steel’s 50th anniversary states his birthday is today.
Given DC Comcis’ convoluted history and frequent continuity reboots, this is probably the kind of thing that will never [...]

Empire, like Wolverine, is the best at what it does. And what it does best is get exclusive pictures of superheroes. Check the website, or the actual issue when it comes out tomorrow, for more shots, including one from the new Hulk film. Or you could just look at them here.

Shit like this is why the Interweb was invented. Dynamite.
