For a lot of us, the 12th of June usually means it’s time for the long weekend. But what you may not realise is it also signals another important date – National Superman Day.
Yes, the iconic DC comics character gets his own day of celebration (Batman does too, it’s in September). If you are a fan of the man of steel then National Superman Day is the day to celebrate, and what better way to do that than with a movie marathon?
There have been many iterations of Superman in films and TV shows over the years and finding ways to watch them all isn’t exactly easy. So, we’ve compiled a list of where you can find all the live-action Superman movies and TV shows online in Australia.
Where to stream Superman movies
Three actors have portrayed the man of steel in the movies – Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill. Here’s your guide to each of their films.
- Superman (1978) – digital rental for $4.99 via YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, Amazon Prime or the Microsoft Store.
- Superman II (1980) – stream on Quickflix or rent digitally for $4.99 via YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, Amazon Prime or the Microsoft Store.
