My Adventures With Superman (HBO Max/Cartoon Network)

[ZariusTwo]

My Adventures with Superman, with Jack Quaid lending his voice to the titular hero, has landed a two-season order at HBO Max and Cartoon Network.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based on characters from DC, My Adventures with Superman follows the adventures of Superman and Lois Lane. The animated series features twenty-somethings Clark Kent, the bright and driven Lois Lane (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist actress Alice Lee), and their best friend Jimmy Olsen as they begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative reporting team at the Daily Planet.


My Adventures with Superman follows Clark as he builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis – and perhaps the world. Lois, now growing into a star investigative journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures, taking down bad guys, stumbling over secrets, and discovering what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane.

“It’s been a great partnership working with Cartoon Network and HBO Max to bring more DC Super Heroes to the platform in new and creatively interesting ways” said Sam Register, President of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. “This is the first animated Superman series in many years and we want to tell our Superman story through the trio of Clark, Lois and Jimmy – whose relationship dynamic will allow for rich, serialized and engaging stories as we explore their lives as individuals and their journey together as friends.”

My Adventures with Superman is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Sam Register serves as executive producer. Jake Wyatt and Brendan Clogher are on board as co-executive producers and Josie Campbell as co-producer.

Jimmy Olsen is black again. Man they really hate red heads.

[Coola Yagami]

Can't have too many whiteys. Especially redheads, heavens no.

I'm not sure how I feel about the art style if that image is legit but it's great to see Superman finally getting another shot at an animated series.

I keep hoping for a BluRay/HDX deluxe release for STAS.

[sdp]

Who is the cute girl with the short hair?
Is it Lois? Is she brown in this series and a tomboy or is it a different character?
It's hard to make superman relatable, but when done right he's awesome, I don't have much faith but glad we're getting another superman show, last was the"young" Superman and the Legion of Superheroes cartoon (https://miscrave.com/articles/legion-of-superheroes/) which I actually really enjoyed, could've been better but it was still cool.

I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later, it just has less priority than BTAS/JLU/BB etc. Static Shock and Zeta Project likely won't be as lucky.

She looks like the main character from the Owl House.

Art style sucks. Probably pass. Art style aside, they lost me with race-flipped Jimmy Olsen and Lesbian Haircut Lois. These trends need to die immediately.

I hate that Batman gets a more serious show and Superman gets stuck with this. Blah.

[sdp]

Concept art, a shame we have a superman and batman show but they won't crossover.

[Coola Yagami]

Gawd dayum does Jimmy Olsen look beta as ****. I guess yesterday's dorks and geeks are today's effeminate beta simps.

IDK, like, back then nerds and geeks and whatnot were not what I would call 'manly' but I mean, it was clear they were straight. This version of Jimmy looks like he's be trying to jump on Clark rather than Lois.

[Leo656]

They've been trying to make Jimmy gay in a mainstream iteration for a while now. He was originally supposed to be explicitly gay in "Superman Returns" before the backlash to that news came out - "It was a different time", so such things were pushed back hard against rather than celebrated by default - and so they danced around it (a "compromise" was having him hug a guy at the bar after the plane rescue scene and otherwise not having him display any attraction towards anyone at all). And then in the All-Star Superman animated movie they had Jimmy come to work wearing a dress and heels, and when Lois and Clark ask him if he's working undercover on a story or something he just says "Nope!" and then they just move on like nothing happened.

Making him black in some of the other media was at one point in time a compromise since making him gay was "too controversial". But now he's pretty much black by default, and race-flipping has become so cliche and standard that it isn't impactful enough on its own. So now he's gotta be black AND gay.

Same way Trevor Noah got his cushy gig despite being just plain awful. He checks all the requisite boxes on the Progressive Bingo card, and that's the single most important thing nowadays.

[Andrew NDB]

That poor bastard... what have they done to him?

[Zulithe]

I feel sorry for gingers. Always getting erased from modern adaptations. Ginger erasure is real, and it's not a meme. **** needs to stop.

This is why i'm so happy they went with a ginger main character in that Jedi: Fallen Order game. It's rare to see a ginger male in that kind of role anymore, since they always opt to go with a POC instead these days. (can't wait for Fallen Order 2, btw)

I wish they had moved forward with the other animated series concept instead of this. The one which would have featured Jon as Superboy. While it's not exactly my favorite artstyle, I prefer the overall vision and potential of this rather than what they decided to greenlight.

[Andrew NDB]

Even Riverdale. They allowed Cheryl Blossom to remain a white redhead... but almost immediately turned her into a lesbian. Dating a black lady, of course.

[sdp]

Well Superman has underwear so that's good, helps the suit look better. Jimmy Olsen has always been annoying, I think black Olsen is more interesting but he should have a different name since he's another character. The other designs are fine, just modernizing Superman, in fact the general premise of Superman is rather vintage and hard to do I can't take him seriously in 2021 as with most traditional superheroes. They really should be left to die and come up with new ones that were come up with in the last 30 years. They had a good run bust most of DC heroes are just from another era. Same with Marvel but at least their heroes are from a few decades later so their age hasn't shown as much.

[oldmanwinters]

I'm guessing this show won't try to get away with gags like this?

[Andrew NDB]

Does nobody else see it?

https://i.ibb.co/p3983yf/april.jpg

Do cartoon designers nowadays all come off the same SJW conveyor belt, or what?

[Leo656]

I saw it. I just thought sdp was doing one of his usual troll-jobs by sticking "April" in the line-up and waiting to see who'd notice.

So wait, who's that character supposed to be then? Watch it be "Lana". Blargh.

[CyberCubed]

Kind of disappointing to me, I was expecting a traditional kids action cartoon. We haven't had a Superman cartoon since S:TAS, so I was hoping for something along those lines even if more kid friendly. Or something like Justice League Action.

[Leo656]

Yuck. Gross.

Turns out they still want to just try to will some kind of desired (imaginary?) audience into existence instead.

[Barkworm]

I probably haven't watched an episode in 20 years but I loved Superman: TAS. So many good episodes, great "guest" features (Lobo!) and all the episodes with Darkseid like the one where he kills Dan Turpin were amazing.

[CyberCubed]

This looks fun, I do hope it's still mostly an action show with a little comedy. If it's not really action oriented I may not be interested.

[ZariusTwo]

The show is an action rom com.

[CyberCubed]

Still on the fence about this show, I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. Going to give it a fair watch for sure.

[IMJ]

So it's basically an animated Lois and Clark show. The should have gotten Dean Cain to do the voice.

Ugh…give me a masculine superhero already!! :x

I’m a gal and I think this is complete bull

[sdp]

Superman is a hero of a bygone era, there's a reason DC can't release a Superman figure. He's like Mickey Mouse just an iconic figure, but no one actually wants to watch the boring adventures of the hero. You can reboot it all you want, the new movie will bomb and so will this show. Like all the previous Superman cartoons since the 90s. Show looks fun but..

Let's face it no one cares about Superman. His only relevancy today is selling a t-shirt with his logo.

You guys can seethe all you want but that's what the numbers show and that's why the real people who greenlight this stuff keeps Superman in the vault. There's no conspiracy, only numbers.

So much of this is wrong.

[Cowabung-Gal]

Clownfish as usual going overboard over nothing or exaggerating for their usual clicks, they didn't even watch the premiere, which was fine.

You look at this Superman and don’t feel that he’s girly? Even a little bit?

[IMJ]

So much of this is wrong.

Sometimes I read that guy's nonsense posts and I'm like "who are you posting for, bud?" :roll:

[neatoman]

I've seen the first episode. It's fine, it's not great but it's fine. It's a little weird with Clark and Lois being as young as they seem to be here and there are some things that also seem weird for a Superman show, but it's fine.

It's a little awkward that it's on AS rather than CN though. Have anyone seen Unicorn Warriors Eternal? That's another show that premiered on Adult Swim recently but was clearly intended for a younger audience, it's like that. The show was obviously not made with AS' target age range in mind.

[CyberCubed]

This looks like it'll be fun, I'll wait for the whole season to air before I marathon it though. We haven't had a solo Superman series since S:TAS ended in the late 90's, so it's been 20 years.

[Andrew NDB]

Sometimes I read that guy's nonsense posts and I'm like "who are you posting for, bud?" :roll:

At this point he's probably just hoping if he says enough weird stuff he'll irritate people into replying to him.

The difference is that Cybercubed is on an entirely different level of trolling and sometimes -- not always -- is able to genuinely blur the line between "he's trolling!" and "is he for real with this?"

Yeah but Cubed manages to stay silly for the most part where nobody really PM's behind the scenes wishing him dead. :lol:

[Dpooly84]

Clown ass show, for clown ass bit hs that don't know who Superman is. Keep watering down these characters for morons it'll work just ask ezra lmfao!

[Bahamut810]

Watched it. Not bad at all, but I feel the title of the show is misleading. They needed to call it "The Misadventures of Lois Lane" or "The misadventures of Lois and Clark" instead of leading in the show with "superman".

[Dpooly84]

Oohh I can just sniff the edge off of you.

Sorry that's my ass I skipped the shower this morning, how'd it taste?

[Antoniocafe]

I started to give the first episode a watch on Max, and I couldn't even finish the episode. I'll probably try to get two or three episodes in before writing it off though.

[Coola Yagami]

Nowadays most classically male led shows turn out to be more like 'the adventures of female lead' instead.

From what I hear people aren't a fan of Superman's Sailor Moon inspired transformation into his costume, the bishoujo design to Deathstroke and LiveWire's overall horrible 'this is still a woman, right?' design.

Warning: Language

Once again, It’sAGundam nailed it

[Cowabung-Gal]

People need to stop obsessing over the DCAU and comparing everything modern to it. Superman: TAS I find now to be pretty boring, it only ever came alive with the Darksied episodes and the Batman team-up, and I preferred Lana over Lois in the show also

“Boring”? Are you kidding? It’s a lot more entertaining (and more intelligent) than what The CW produces nowadays. Just the music in the intro itself gets you pumped up.

And in my opinion, Justice League and its sequel Unlimited are the best DC shows ever and put Zack Snyder’s JL to shame.

[Coola Yagami]

It's an enjoyable show, so I don't care what this goon thinks. He's saying nothing original.

Geez, might as well say you hate the original material and would rather see a show about wannabes running around borrowing the character names.

[CyberCubed]

I haven't seen this show yet but I don't know why people get so opposed to new cartoons when we constantly have movie and TV show reboots of Superman and other heroes constantly.

After DCAU Batman there were 5-6+ other Batman cartoons after (The Batman, Brave and the Bold, Beware the Batman, Justice League Action, the Batman on Young Justice, the Harley Quinn show one, etc), and nobody cares. Superman hasn't had a solo show since S:TAS.

[Bahamut810]

Gundam isn't really wrong with his comparisons and complaints (like trying to emulate manga/anime while rejecting what makes it good). I only watched the first episode and I missed who the villian was supposed to be (I dont think it was revealed in that ep?) and if thats who he said it was...wow that is a bad decision.

My entire thing is that the superman stories I am familiar with deal with one of two superman(s?). The stories about the battles of Gods to defend men, and the stories of the Man who is a god.

This is story about the Man who is a god, and those can be good stories. The first episode was a Character with Lois Lanes name acts like every modern spastic manic pixie dream girl (like Luz from Owl House or Star from Star Vs the Forces of Evil, or Mable from Gravity Falls) meeting Clark Kent (not Superman) and establishing the story. I hope it turns out good, even if they are continuing with the red head erasure (which has been around in different Superman stories for a while I think).

Is the "Sailor Moon" transformation into Superman true or was that like..... an internet joke?

[Coola Yagami]

It's true. Similar camera angles and everything.

[Cowabung-Gal]

I love the original material, but you have to understand the original material is goofy as all sin, even goofier than this show. Seriously, educate yourself on decades worth of the silver age, not just the "champion of the oppressed" golden era or the post-crisis age.

The DCAU obsession from all the 30/40-somethings on the internet is just as irritating as Snyder cultists who insist only his vision is accurate. It's not, there are a variety of different adaptations, each with their own quirks, strengths, weaknesses, highs and lows. The Fleischer Superman shorts are better than Superman: TAS. As I've said, nobody important really talks about Superman: TAS unless it's about the Darksied episodes or the World's Finest crossover.

Have you ever watched the first three episodes of Superman: TAS which covered Superman’s origin? Or Toyman’s debut episode? Or the episode where Clark Kent was “assassinated” and it ended with the killer in the gas chamber (that last image burned into my mind since childhood)? Or the last two episodes where Superman was brainwashed into thinking he’s Darkseid’s son and went rogue? You dismiss it as a “boring goofy show” but clearly you’ve never actually watched it aside from maybe those few selected episodes that you’ve mentioned.

You know what’s goofy? This newest Superman adaption. It’s a failed attempt at anime, unlike Avatar The Last Airbender, and Superman looks more like his effeminate activist son Jon Kent; heck, Lois looks more masculine than he does.

And I don’t know why you don’t like DCAU Lois Lane. She’s the embodiment of strong women, and best of all, she believes in free speech, which a lot of so-called “journalists” these days call “dangerous”:

I’m really glad I grew up with the DCAU instead of this tumblr garbage.

You know... for a while there, all the CoVid lockdowns and whatever felt like that. Especially the 'it's only temporary, they gave us their word'.

Too bad for the elites that once a virus runs its course, its done, not matter how many more 'Winters of Death' they were hoping for.

[Bahamut810]

Again, ItsGundam is just rattling off generic talking points, unoriginal, heard them a million times. Easiest way to grift for clicks and make money, just look at that insane patreon list at the end, says it all really. A sucker born every minute.

His opinion possibly being generic, unoriginal or one used before for other franchises does not refute anything he says. Bringing up the fact that he relies on his audience for money also does not mean anything either, every entertainment/news group and program does the same thing (CNN, Fox, The Daily Show, pick whichever one you like the best).

[IMJ]

It's true. Similar camera angles and everything.

I......
I don't know what to say.

[Dpooly84]

You've got serious problems

[Coola Yagami]

Let him/her enjoy what they enjoy. It's just not for us who actually grew up on Superman. It's a Gen Z Tumblr/Twitter show.

That tomboy Lois sure is bangable though.

I'm actually surprised, in this modern age of 'how dare attractive women be attractive?!' they made her pretty cute and have scenes of her bending way over and the like.

[Coola Yagami]

You're a generic angry online virgin struggling to come up with anything original, thought provoking, and intelligent to say

Advantage: Me.



I'm no Gen Z/tumblr or twitter addict at all, I'm a 40 year old boomer. I grew up on everything related to Superman, Fleshier, Superfriends, Reeve, DCAU, Smallville, Lois and Clark, Superman and Lois.

Everything.

All of it.

I'm simply not radicalized by grifter Youtubers, hate speech or far right bigotry. Nor am I a woke leftie. I think both sides are idiots.

I like this cartoon.

There is nothing wrong with it.

I am not alone.

Plenty of fans my age like it.

If you dislike it, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, you can rant about it and how 'wrong' the world is, but to say this show isn't for people who "grew up" on Superman just because YOU don't like it? Touch grass with that. Superman is for everybody, not just you gatekeepers.

As they wreck the designs of Deathstroke and LiveWire and who knows who else will follow? Sure buddy, sure.

I mean, if you like it fine. No one's stopping you. But c'mon, let's not be delusional here. You know this show was catered more for 'modern audiences' hence the Twitter/Tumblr crowd absolutely loving it.

It's like Mutant Mayhem, yeah you can still love it, but you know it was made more for today's kids than it was for their parents who will be dragged along to watch it.

[CyberCubed]

Remember when Teen Titans 2003 got pushback for being "anime" at first and then the show went on to be a fan favorite? A lot of people probably don't remember this (especially because the outrage of Teen Titans Go happened a decade later), but when Teen Titans 2003 first came out online forums were outraged. People thought it would look like the DCAU designs.

But then the show aired and became a smash hit.

Yeah, at the time every DC cartoon was related to the same overall universe. The art style, the anime-ness and the fact that it was Dick Robin but he looked like Tim Robin confused and turned off people until they accepted it just wasn't part of the DCAU

I always get them mixed up. I take the L on that one. At least when I mess up, I own when I do.

Nevertheless, my point still stands. Just because I enjoy this show doesn't mean I have 'problems' and that I wasn't 'raised' on Superman. I enjoy what I enjoy, but it seems nobody can enjoy anything anymore and must always treat everything with unkind suspicion.

So I looked a bit stupid, big deal, we're all acting stupid, so I'm dropping this and probably will just abandon this thread since it's been taken over by a hate mob...knock yourselves out, I'll start afresh. The occasional blunder I make is just another day to me. At the end of the day, I'm enjoying a Superman show more than you guys and that is my victory.

Peace.

Nooooo man. You didn't look stupid, and that wasn't what I was going for. Look, when given the option in ambiguity, choose that someone is laughing with you and not at you. Because I was laughing with you on the "Boomer" thing, even if you skipped a generation or two using it. :lol: 8)

[Bahamut810]

First ep, I was open to the show. Some modern sensibilities but some different directions might be cool!

Second ep, Ok. I dont like the new character designs for Live Wire (the combo mullet/bowlcut) and Deathstroke looks like a teenage edgelord. The superman stuff is not bad...as long as Lois and Clark aren't together. At all.

Third ep. A third decent superman show, a third Clark simping over Lois and how amazing the woman he just met a few days ago is, and a third "can you just do the deed so we can get beyond this" moments. Seriously...there is *way* too much time placed on them almost kissing. It seems like every time they are in the same room Clark is either telling lois how great she is, blushing back and forth as they hold back their loins, or letting her walk all over him.

[ZariusTwo]

Four episodes in and there ain't no fooling Lois anymore. Glad to see, now the stakes are raised

[ZariusTwo]

It'll be interesting to see how the show deals with Lois and Clark having to rebuild their romance from the ground up now that Lois knows who he is. There's not that many stories told where she knows and they're not already in a relationship. The closest we came to that was when they broke off their engagement in the 90s, and that ended in their wedding anyway

God I hope this show doesn't go all 'Ross and Rachel' for as long as it goes on, where they know each other inside and out after two seasons and spend several more not committing fully for whatever stupid reason.

And poor Jimmy, Lois and Clark are too preoccupied with their own drama, so he goes it alone and gets abducted

Rebuild is a big word. Right now they have barely had their relationship. They just got over 'shy blushing' and getting into hand holding and cheek kissing territory that night.

[CyberCubed]

I agree, Lois is very cute, I might watch it at some point, it looks interesting

This Lois design is pretty popular online, I've already seen some interesting fanarts pop up.

Lois does talk a bit about that in this week's episode, she cuts herself off when she's about to complete the sentence "I'm your girlfriend" and then admits she didn't know what they were about to be

[Bahamut810]

Actually got to watch the full episode last night. I wasent aware that Amber from Invincible was the template for Lois Lane. Seriously...eff both of them. They are not entitled to every secret their friends may have *especially* if they are threatening to expose them to the world.

Not sure which one is worse.

[ZariusTwo]

Many different versions of Lois have done similar things. It's perfectly OK to have this in a show

This is all going to be cleared up this week, we've seen clips from the episode and they're working together, and some of the plot summaries indicate they try dating again.

People just want the love interests to make googly eyes at each other and not have the occasional spat calling one another's flaws out so they can build and strengthen their characters. Why are you watching if you don't want drama?

On the Amber subject, we all know she's not the endgame interest anyway. She won't learn a lesson and it'll cost her, with Lois her love for Clark is a work in progress and she will learn from her mistakes.

That and the fact that Amber was more likeable in the comics and not a bitch for bitch's sake. She even was glad that Mark was a superhero because she thought he was a drug dealer instead.

[Bahamut810]

I just got reminded about how eager Lois Lane was to lie to Clark and Jimmy in the first episode and she is all about FULL FRONTAL HONESTY and NO SECRETS now...

[ZariusTwo]

Jimmy knew all along. He kept silent because he wanted Clark to open up to him, he's livid when he finds out he told Lois before him!

Lois and Clark are on the same page again. She gives him his coat (returning the favour from episode four), and holds his hand.


Next week: MYXY!

[Bahamut810]

Jimmy knew all along. He kept silent because he wanted Clark to open up to him, he's livid when he finds out he told Lois before him!

I can see him knowing considering they are room-mates and he is the sort of individual to overanalyze pictures and such to make the connection.

Lois and Clark are on the same page again. She gives him his coat (returning the favour from episode four), and holds his hand.

Did she apologize for being a stupid hypocrite, or did they leave fault with Clark for keeping a secret from his week-long girlfriend?

[ZariusTwo]

They had more time to talk and stand off in between the rescue mission, at one point she asked Clark if he was pretending to love her as part of his cover.

I think the coat/hand hold was the apology.

[Shark_Blade]

Lois jumped out of the window to prove he’s superman what a crazy bit*h. Then she got angry and mad at him I hate her so much. Clark shouldn’t have flew to save her, he should’ve did like in the live action movie just blew her to land on a fruit stall.

Got to watch it...I couldn't help but roll my eyes at every part with both lois and clark in it. She looks like, for just a moment that she kind of sort of feels bad, but never apologizes for how she acts, while Clark falls over himself to apologize for having a secret (that she consistently and passionately threatened to reveal to the world).

Hell, after she yelled at him for asking about one of her 'secrets' ("not that you will ever get to know") she yelled at him for having a secret...to have her take a pause only when he might have died to save her life. He had to jump on a philosophical grenade to have her consider him as a person who might want a secret. Fkin Btch...

Everything outside of that? Pretty good.

[ZariusTwo]

Just a new 15 second clip...we're getting multiverse woes next with a council of Lois straight out of Rick and Morty.

I hate that sort of thing. More of this 'the woman is always right no matter what and the man has to apologize even though he did nothing wrong' BS. Teaching kids how to have toxic relationships, because that is the only kind of relationship the writers ever know and ever experienced.

Lois will never apologize because the writers feels she has nothing to apologize about.

That was the gist. The only person who had any reflection at all that they were at fault was clark as, in the middle of a fire fight, Jimmy and Lois *demanded* to know why he kept being superman a secret. Instead of throwing out there that people may find out he is fighting crime and the people around him would be in danger or something...he was afraid that people might not like him. I understand that he might have just grabbed the first thing in a tight moment...but come on.

Edit: On reflection that being the first thing is probably the right way to go for his explanation... I think that this is what this version of Clark is about. Still does not change that the only person who is actually in the wrong in the entire thing is Lois and she gets a pass.

Episode 7

Adult Swim: "We have Across the Spider-Verse at home"

We learn during all the chaos with chasing Mxy that the League of Lois were all assembled by the Fleischer era Lane, there are cameos from the DCAU Lois too, as well as several of the 'evil Supermen' we've seen in comics. Yes, the big thing about the Leauge of Lois is they all distrust Superman because they've seen universes where he goes insane or becomes a dictator, so they're openly hostile to this show's Superman. Our Lois doesn't lose faith however and gives Clark their first kiss during a confrontation between Mxy and the Leauge.

However, afterwards Myx shows us how ineffective the Leauge of Lois are against him, easily breaking out of prison and giving our Lois a shard of Kryptonite, telling her that she'll figure it out

I like that there definitely now seems to be a counter-reaction in the multiverse to DC's regular foray into 'evil superman" stories, actually setting up a league of Lois to hold them accountable is a trick missing from a lot of adaptations, where usually Lois is the victim/catalyst of it all.

So we might just get in the finale a moment where Lois' kryptonite comes into effect, Clark wonders how Lois got it, and we find over time Lois didn't tell Clark that she got it from Mxy, and Clark would get mad that Lois kept a secret from him, the tables would be turned and they fall out, leaving us with the cliffhanger of season one. I also think they could bring Lana into the end of the first season and set up a triangle for season two if that happens with Lois trying to win Clark back

I don't know...the show seems to celebrate her wildly. It does not really fit into their story telling style for her to face the repercussions of her actions, just like she didn't in this past episode when it was Clark at fault for having a secret, not Lois for demanding he comes out the closet to her.

I could be and hope I am wrong. But, realistically I don't think they would portray her at fault for something like that.

[Coola Yagami]

So with this council or Ri... I mean Lois, did any of them look like the Timmverse Lois as a gag or were they all just the same Lois in different clothes.

Have you seen their rendition of Deathstroke? I wouldn't be surprised if Lex looked more like Android 17

[Dpooly84]

Why hasn't this been dragged out to the back yard and been put down yet? Is this part of Gunns new vision for DC? Is this gunns superman? Pretty f'n pathetic if so.

[Cowabung-Gal]

Have you seen their rendition of Deathstroke?

Yeah, I saw. Even Teen Titans Go! Slade looked more like Deathstroke than…whoever that is.

[Bahamut810]

Some of the designs are good/ok and some aren't. I didn't like Live Wire or Slade, but Parasite and "The General" (Aka Sam Lane) is really cool.

Timmverse Lois was commemorated as a holographic? Display in the League’s Hall of Fame or whatever.

The weird thing is that his goal in the episode is to obtain a bowler hat that looks like it belongs to a more typical Mxyzptlk, but then it turns into a crown when he puts it on. So I'm guessing he did/can look like a more "normal" Mxyzptlk design, he just decided to look like this for some reason.

As for Lex Luthor, he has probably already shown up.
He looks a bit like Ron Weasley wearing glasses.

What I'm more curious is what Brainiac will look like. We know he's going to be in the show already and all the robots are implied to be reverse engineered from him, so probably either something like the robotic skeleton or one the versions that barely/don't bother to pass themselves off as a living being?

[Bahamut810]

Got to watch the episode.

I like the idea of a League of Lois Lanes, I wish there was a more classic design in the active group but whatever. I think its a really cool plot element that across an infinite multiverse that the surviving lois' would band together (once they were able to get the correct tech from Lex or something) to try to stop the evil Supermen and just go too far.

However, The episode started by confirming that Clark was at fault for having a secret instead of some combination of her being overbearing and him feeling somewhat bad about it or something instead of being just implied. Nope. Just him never allowed to have a secret from his crush. They also put waaaay to much time making out.

The hat really seemed like just a call back to his prior incarnations, considering how many designs they are stealing from anime in this. They probably thought that leaving it as the classic bowler hat would remove some of him being intimidating at that moment.

[Bahamut810]

Episode 8. Awesome episode! Introduced the new 'classic villians', Clark (not superman) has to deal with more of his powers and his hero complex leading to very little with Lois and Clark together. Her staying a hypocrite is up in the air because there was just no time for her to make that decision or not which would normally be a nice buildup.

[oldmanwinters]

I always fall asleep before the midnight premieres.

[CyberCubed]

So I watched the first 4 episodes, this show is pretty good/decent. The weakest part of the show is the villains so far, who aren't really that great. I like this version of Clark/Superman and how down to earth he is discovering his powers for the first time, and this version of Lois is good so far. I also like how Superman can't understand Kryptonese and has no idea what Jor-El is saying to him.

I'll watch the next 4 tomorrow. But overall seems like a fun action series. I hope the villains get better though.

[ZariusTwo]

First look at season two

ybnj83CVKS0

"There is another"

[CyberCubed]

Season 2 just completes the order of the initial 20 eps, but I am wondering if the show has been canceled. I don't think it was the success they wanted it to be.

[neatoman]

As it turns out, the guy who was obviously Lex Luthor turns to be Lex Luthor, who would have guessed?

Alright, but seriously, the Parademon does imply Darkseid will show up.

[Bahamut810]

It looks like they are going to introduce Supergirl. It seems unnecessary to do.

[CyberCubed]

This show is better than I thought it would be, although I don't like some of the designs for the villains. Will kinda be a moot point since I get the feeling this won't continue past season 2 anyway.

[ZariusTwo]

It looks like they are going to introduce Supergirl. It seems unnecessary to do.

Not too hot about that myself, it just increases the likelihood of less focus on Lois and Clark. This is the problem with rushing through almost the entire thing in the first season.

[ZariusTwo]

Season 3 premieres June 13th

Finally, I don't know why it took so long for Season 3. I'm glad this show is getting a proper run and not getting canceled early.
