DC Entertainment and Warner Brothers Animation are releasing a new animated series featuring the Man Of Steel called “My Adventures With Superman” and this will air on Adult Swim and then immediately be available on the Max service (that’s the formerly known as HBO Max in case you haven’t been paying attention). The Official Trailer for the new series recently dropped and I’ve embedded that for you all down below along with the premise and voice cast. There’s even a poster so please check it out.
The Premise: The story follows Clark Kent as he builds his secret identity as Superman and explores his mysterious origins, and Lois Lane, whom Clark develops a crush on and vice-versa, who is on her way to becoming a star reporter. Teaming up with photographer and Clark’s best friend Jimmy Olsen, the trio breaks the stories that matter and save the day against many villains in the city of Metropolis, while also contending with Task Force X.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’m really behind on the television offerings that feature the DC Universe of Superheroes and while this looks to be a charming show, it seems to be geared to a younger audience and also appears to really be playing up on the humor aspect of the character interactions. I’m all for a joke or two but not when it relies on it over and over again. This is Superman afterall and not something like Plastic Man or even Ambush Bug. I know a lot of you will need to look that last one up but I think you know what I mean. I will likely watch this once it hits the Max streaming service in full. Perhaps this one will grow on me because their animated films are generally very good and have made up for the lackluster response the live-action films are getting. While I am not trying to get off topic, the recent “Black Adam” movie bombed at the box office and IMHO was not all that bad. “The Flash” opens in the coming days and the trailers seem solid so let’s hope for the best. Closing up I wonder what you think of this trailer and if you are planning on watching. Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you again soon.
