Superman Day . It's a thing. Did you know that? Well, it is. While our super hero dates back to the 1930's, Superman Day has only been a thing since 2013. It was a day set up my DC Entertainment, the week they released MAN OF STEEL. Technically, the day was known as Man of Steel Day, but they later switched the name.
Our greatest hero began as a comic book. It has since morphed into many motion pictures dating back to the black and white era. Superman has also evolved into many TV series and cartoons as well.
So, to celebrate the Man of Steel, we will do Superman Trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida. We play everyday at 4:45ish.
