My Adventures with Superman

Superman media recently has gone a bit down hill with the Snyder-verse, and Supergirl's later seasons, but this show manages to take Superman back to its roots and show us a version of him the way he was meant to be. Dorky, hopeful, fun, and a genuinely good person just trying to use his abilities for good. It has a way of introducing us to characters that we only get bits and pieces of and making us care deeply about them, along with taking information we know and making it seem like some big secret. The villains could be better (especially Chris Parnell's Deathstroke), but overall, it's the best Superman media we've gotten in the last 5 years, combined with absolutely fantastic animation, a great voice cast, and an amazing writing team that does an amazing job. I hope we get a season 2 and beyond.

My Adventures with Superman does an excellent job of inventing the Man of Steel for a new audience. The anime inspirations make it visually unique and give it the opportunity to design epic battles in an already detailed world. The redesigns of some popular villains were all fresh and creative, while still maintaining an air of familiarity. Given the short runtime and episode count, there isn't much time to breath or build on specific scenes, but with the time it has, the team behind it do a fantastic job at building on the relationships around Clark. The voice actors come together in a way that feels like they are in the room with you and their louder than life expressions and attitude blend perfectly with the dramatic anime styling. Between Superman & Lois, My Adventures with Superman, and the anticipation of Superman: Legacy, being a Superman fan has never been better!!

My adventures with Superman definitely felt like it was trying to set-up the characters, the world and the conflict for the rest of the season during its premiere which may come off as a bit too fast paced however, the show tries to balance its rushing pace with humour and heart. This is not a deconstruction of Superman or a social commentary of what would happen if he appeared in our world but rather a heartfelt story about a boy trying to find his place in the world.

The characters are charming, the action is cool and the jokes are funny, this show definitely proves how much we have missed Supes in the animated format on our screens.

There's only three episodes as of my writing this. But I am so excited to see Superman at his beginning!

Clark starting at The Planet at the same time as Lois and Jimmy is a perfect setup. They all get to grow together. Each of our main trio is unique and I'm looking forward to watching their character arcs as the show continues. I especially like the dynamic they've set up between Lois and Clark. It's perfect!

On another note, I absolutely love the animation style! It's different from what we've had before with other DC animated projects. The anime influence is obvious, but it's a fun change for the superhero.

I saw both of these premiers on Max and I was very pleased. Great animation, talented voice acting and it brings back the great memories of Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Teen Titans, Justice League and The Brave And The Bold. This is a great start to yet another success for Adult Swim ( since it first airs on there network ), with other Amazing shows like Smiling Friends and Unicorn Warriors, plus with adult swim's new 6:00 time slot featuring the cartoon cartoon Friday shows like Dexter's Lab, Courage and Ed, Edd, Eddy. This new Superman show will fit great here and I know Superman fans will love it just as much as I did.
