Cleveland celebrates Superman’s hometown legacy with superhero extravaganzas (photos)
CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s no secret that Cleveland has embraced its identity as Superman’s birthplace. That was on full display Saturday with a multi-venue celebration that brought the Man of Steel’s legacy to life. Fans experienced the superhero festivities at both Tower City’s ‘Superman’ Movie Party and Cleveland Public Library’s “A Superhero Homecoming” event.
The celebrations featured a lineup of special guests and activities throughout the day. The Cinematic Symphony Orchestra performed, while comic industry notables including renowned creator Brian Michael Bendis gave a speech.
Attendees at Tower City watched artist Dan Gorman create live custom paintings as the guests listened to the illustrators and writers that made the action heroes come to life.
Tower City included a red carpet experience, flying green screen and superhero AI booth highlighted by a Cosplay Masquerade Contest, where costumed participants performed brief acts ranging from superhero skits and villainous monologues to singing, dancing or juggling, with judges awarding prizes to standout performers.
The Cleveland Public Library showcased its semi-permanent Superman exhibit on the Main Library’s second floor, featuring items from the Mike Curtis Collection of Superman Memorabilia. Curtis, an Arkansas native and Dick Tracy comic strip writer, donated thousands of Superman items to the library in 2016 after four decades of collecting. The rotating display includes comics, posters, toys, clothing and photographs dating back to 1939.
Library activities included Sina Grace’s “Make Your Myth” comic workshop, an escape room challenge, video games, and a Tech Avengers Lab where visitors can engineer their own hero gear.
The latest ‘Superman’ movie, partially filmed in Cleveland, landed in theaters last Friday.

Former Cavaliers Legend Gives High Praise to Former Team

With Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum sidelined heading into next season due each player suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon, many view the Eastern Conference as wide open. However, according to former Cleveland Cavaliers legend Channing Frye, it might be Cleveland’s conference to lose, even if there’s a bit of competition to reach the NBA Finals.
“Tier 1 is Cleveland and New York,” Frye said, chuckling during the broadcast of the Cavaliers’ Summer League matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. “That’s pretty much it.”
With how talented and deep the Cavaliers are, Frye has every reason to be high on what Cleveland could accomplish next season. In Kenny Atkinson’s first season as head coach, the Cavaliers finished 64-18 and were arguably one of the NBA’s more dominant teams on either end of the floor.
However, according to Frye, Cleveland isn’t alone at the Eastern Conference’s summit, noting that the New York Knicks could also be in the mix. To his credit, the Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season, falling to the Indiana Pacers in six games. However, against Cleveland, New York was 0-4 last season during the regular season, indicating there might be a gap between either team.

But while the Cavaliers and Knicks might be at the top, Frye does think there will be challengers right behind them.
I would go the young teams and Milwaukee,” So, I would go Detroit, Atlanta,Orlando, Milwaukee, and I’m actually going to throw Toronto in there. I think they’re slept on.”
“Orlando and Atlanta are a different breed,” Frye said after. “Same with Detroit.”
So, while the Eastern Conference might be Cleveland’s to lose next season, they will have some challengers. It’s going to be a fun season for the Cavaliers, who are looking to avenge their surprising second-round exit in last year’s Eastern Conference Playoffs.

Former WR Details Strategy Opponents Will Employ Against Travis Hunter

Imagine for a few seconds Travis Hunter’s NFL debut under the Jacksonville sun on Sept. 7. He lines up at cornerback opposite fellow first-round selection Tetairoa McMillan. On one play, the rookie from Arizona takes Hunter 65 yards down the sideline but Bryce Young instead completes an intermediate route to Xavier Legette.
The Panthers immediately remove McMillan, replace him with Adam Thielen on Hunter’s side of the field, and hustle to the line of scrimmage. Young’s first read, by design of course, will be Thielen.
“I’ve played for offensive coordinators whose strategy would be just that,” said Andrew Hawkins, who played six combined seasons as a wide receiver with the Bengals and Browns. “And these are guys that are only playing one side of the ball. And what they would do is, they would stick a guy that maybe they’re not giving a lot of targets to … and they would just have him go out there, run a go ball, for the love of the game, have their top corner cover it, and then take him out and put the No. 1 receiver in who is fresh.
“And now the cornerback who just ran a 100-yard sprint has to guard someone, let’s say, hypothetically, an A.J. Green, or a Josh Gordon, if you will. That actually happens.”
Expect it to happen to Hunter early in the season, similar to what Travis Kelce said this week. Hawkins said Thursday on ESPN’s NFL Live that he admires Hunter’s ambition and determination, but can’t believe any player – including a football unicorn like Hunter – can successfully navigate starting on both sides of the ball at the highest level.
“Now look,” Hawkins said, “I don’t feel like I’m crazy for saying that trying to play full-time No. 1 corner and starting receiver in the NFL is impossible. That’s just my opinion. I’m okay if I’m wrong, but history actually backs me there.”
History backs him because no NFL player in 29 years has started on both sides of the ball at least eight times in the same season. It was Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, who went on to become Hunter’s college head coach.
Hawkins sings in the growing chorus of current and former NFL players who see Hunter’s ideal role as strategic and limited on one side of the ball, and full-time on the other.
“Whether it be the No. 3 receiver or the nickel packages,” Hawkins envisioned, “he’s going to be more predominantly in a third-down scenario. Otherwise, it’s going to be too much wear and tear. And rookies, they get tired a lot faster than vets. It’s called the rookie wall. So, you can imagine how much faster he’s going to hit the rookie wall playing full-time on both sides of the ball in an NFL schedule.”
Hunter’s schedule, at least entering training camp, consists of majoring in offense and minoring in defense. The Jaguars have wanted to overload him with meeting time and practice reps at wide receiver, knowing that defense needs less schematic preparation and more natural instinct. Hunter said himself his natural football awareness helped him make some phenomenal defensive plays in college.
