A refreshingly earnest portrayal of Superman
After fifteen plus years of hyper-realistic, melancholy versions of classic superheroes, it's great to finally get something that's old-fashioned in the best possible way.
The people behind Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra have created another series that's not only beautifully animated but genuinely heartfelt. Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olson are all very likable characters even if they do remind us of Aang, Katara and Sokka.
It's also nice to have a Superman who's driven by a genuine desire to do the right thing. Unlike Zack Snyder's Supes, who had an overbearing savior complex, this Superman is a hero with heart. His clumsiness and kindness are endearing to where you really root for him when he starts battling the bad guys. It's a simple thing that the self-important people running the DC film universe seem to have forgotten.
DC has always had the edge when it came to animated series, and that streak is continued with My Adventures with Superman. I can't wait to continue watching it.
