What is My Adventures with Superman?
My Adventures with Superman is coming to TV and it will air in a very strange place for a DC Comics property. This new version of Superman is coming to Adult Swim, which is where mostly adult-oriented cartoons like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Rick & Morty. So, what makes a series about Superman something that needs to be on an adult animation network?
This new series is about Superman early in his career as a superhero. This is a young version of Superman who has moved to Metropolis. Lois Lane is a star investigative journalist while Jimmy Olsen is an aspiring photographer she takes under her wing. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are falling in love and learning what it means for them to be Superman and Lois Lane. It sounds like it is a normal Superman story.
“This fresh take from the Warner Bros. Animation team delivers a modern, relatable Clark Kent alongside a fearless, whip-smart Lois Lane who is navigating the small tasks of both becoming adults and trying to save the world,” said Amy Friedman. the Head of Family programming for Warner Bros (via Collider). This makes it sound like it might be debuting on Adult Swim, but it is good for kids of all ages.

There is also a nice voice cast behind My Adventures with Superman. Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell in The Boys, voices Superman. Alice Lee and Ishmel Sahid voice Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. According to the producers, this entire series is telling Superman’s story from the point of view of this iconic trio of characters.
