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

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.

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 which I actually really enjoyed, could've been better but it was still cool. https://deadline.com/wp-content/uplo...rman_Image.jpg Quote:

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

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

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. http://i.imgur.com/7UBoSULl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/L2xdo0Kl.jpg |
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.

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.

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

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? |
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. |
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.
|
Yuck. Gross.

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.
|
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.

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

First few episodes titles and synopsis released

Ugh…give me a masculine superhero already!! :x I’m a gal and I think this is complete bull |
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. |

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. |
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.
