If you’re a Superman fan, April 18th is a special day. To comic fans, the day is considered “Superman Comic Day” and celebrates the copyright date for Action Comics #1, which was the comic the Man of Steel himself made his grand debut. While there’s debate over the actual ‘birthday’ of Superman, Warner Bros. is using the date to celebrate by sharing a new clip of the upcoming Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One. The clip can be viewed below.
The clip starts off with Ruby Rose thanking Clark for something (probably a fight with a Grimm). Clark mentions something off with his powers. Ruby and her big sister Yang Xiao Long approach Clark as he comments how the sun of this world is different from Earth. Yang asks him his name, to which he introduces himself as Superman, then Clark after they ask him for a “regular” name.
In another clip, shared by CBR.com, shows what Wonder Woman has been up to. The clip, which can be viewed below, introduces Diana to Blake Belladonna and her mother. Diana appears to have woken up within the kingdom of Menagerie, where Blake and her family are from.
Finally, we get to see Vixen, Cyborg, The Flash, and Green Lantern in action. In a clip shared by OtakuUSA, the group spars off with team JNR, consisting of Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren. The clip can be viewed below, which further establishes the struggles the Justice League face after losing their powers (poor Green Lantern).
