This is Robert Peraza, kneeling at his son's name etched into the 9/11 Memorial's north pool. Don’t just hit the “like” button — put yourself back in that day. 9/11 represents the pain and resiliency of that day & in our country. And it sadly reminds me how much better we can be to each other. #911

When I was 10 years old, I remember one of my friends closing the door so we could secretly listen to “Crazy Train.“ Felt like we were breaking the law. Pretty sure we were. That scream… Rest in peace Ozzy Osbourne. #ozzy #ozzyosbourne

The best hug at the #Superman premiere came from this amazing woman, Laura Siegel Larson. Her father, Jerry Siegel, along with artist Joe Shuster, were two 17 year old kids when they came up with Superman. LOVE that @jamesgunn and @dcofficial made sure she was there. #hope #love #inspiration

At the Superman premiere afterparty, instead of a photo booth, they had a professional photographer take your photo, and then someone photoshopped you in real time. Only in LA. #superman #hope #love #lexluthor

Professional photos from the #mets as I threw to my son the catcher. Will never forget it. Thanks to everyone there, JW and my family and friends who cheered that night! #mets #inspirational #hope #superman #love #dad #baseball

For me, the greatest parts of Superman are always the most human parts of Superman. Plus Pa ALWAYS crushes me. And Krypto is clearly based on our dog (all our dogs!). Thanks again for giving the world something to believe in @jamesgunn. #superman #supermanmovie #dad #mom #dog #dogsofinstagram

Amen

When I wrote I am Superman, I asked DC Comics if we could use “the American way” again. They happily let me. We’re all on the same team. Go see the movie. Believe in kindness. We need some good in the world right now & @jamesgunn.bsky.social delivers it. #superman #supermanmovie #nerd #hope

Superman world premiere! Krypto and Pa Kent. You’ll see. @jamesgunn understands Superman at its core. And at the after party, I watched him take so much time with every comic creator. Thanks @jimlee @dccomics Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster. #superman #supermanmovie #dccomics #nerd #hope #jamesgunn

In 1978, as the original #Superman movie began, I put my hand in my popcorn. Two hours later, when the lights came up, my hand hadn’t moved, my fingers shriveled. So thrilled to be in LA tonight to see the hero who changed my life. Thanks, Jerry and Joe, and Jim, DC, and James Gunn for the hope.
