On this date, Aug 4, 1997, Skynet was activated. (According to T2)
It took nearly 20, but we are pretty close to activating the real skynet. Thank goodness someone in Philly had sense enough to destroy that hitchhiking Canadian robot spy.
Well - the link you provided states that it's Spider-man's birthday not Peter Parker's Bday. I don't remember an actual date ever being mentioned in the comics. So to be factual, would we not use the day (June 5) that Amazing Fantasy hit the stands as a "birth" date of Spider-man. Just being devil's advocate. HaHa
MeTV aired Episode #1 (Superman on Earth) of the "Adventures of Superman" this evening. The Clarks were getting ready to throw a surprise party for Clark to celebrate the day they found him in the rocket ship. Pa Clark mentioned the exact date and commented it had been 25 years. (The year shown on screen before the scene was 1951)
Therefore….. for whichever Earth George Reeve's Superman is from…. the date of his coming to earth is April 10, 1926.

So what date are you planning on using for Dick Grayson's birthday? Nov. 11 that the vintage DC calendar says or the first day of Spring as established after Zero Hour?
So it's November 10. Did you wish Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor a Happy Anniversary yet? If you were talking to Pre-Crisis Diana and Steve from Wonder Woman (Vol 1), I hope you would. They were married by Zeus in the final issue, #325 (1985).
It's November 11 so we wish a Happy Birthday to Dick Grayson, aka Robin the Boy Wonder, aka Nightwing, aka 'Grayson' - well, only if we're referring to the pre-Crisis Robin.
While the 1976 DC Super Calendar told us that Dick was born on November 11, that era is now referred to "pre-Crisis continuity," or the pre-1985 revamp of all the DC universes in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
This lasted until 1994, and Dick was said to have been born in the week before Halloween, or October 24-30 - kind of vague.
Then came Zero Hour: Crisis in Time and since then Dick Grayson was said to have been born the first day of spring, March 20, according to Nightwing: Year One (hat-tip to @phansford ). Apparently, neither Infinite Crisis nor Final Crisis and not even the Nu52 seems to have affected the all-important timing of Dick Grayson's birthday. I'll try to remember to post this again on March 20, 2016...
So, we should enjoy this date while we can. After all, the symbolic significance of the character of Dick Grayson, the first Robin, is that he grows up. Right?
