I'm seeing some people speculating on possible spin-offs starring other DC heroes set in the same universe (Somebody suggested Shazam as a possibility, which I think sounded neat). If it were up to me, I'd make them do "My Adventures with Wonder Woman". As far as I can tell, Diana's never had her own solo animated series and I think this universe's lighter would work well with the character.

Admittedly, my first choice for a spin-off would've been Batman, but he's getting a separate, unrelated animated series some time here, so that's not liable to happen. Maybe he'll get a guest spot in an episode.

I just want a cartoon starring Superman as Superman, that is not too much to ask.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

The show hasn't even come out. Why are we talking about spin-offs when we don't even have a solid grasp on the show's plot and tone yet?

If it were up to me I'd make a "My Adventures With Flash" show. (Specifically Wally West.) He never got his own animated series either and adapting him and his mythos would be very fun.

I'm now reminded of this hilarious bit in the current Action Comics run where Jon unfortunately discovers that his parents kept Clark's Warworld gladiator gear for kinky sex stuff

I mean. Is that kind of role-play regarded as particularly kinky? Because in my head, "kinky" would be anything to do with BDSM and not so much playing "The Adventures of Space Barbarian and Space Madam".

...And that's all I have to say about that.

If it were up to me I'd make a "My Adventures With Flash" show. (Specifically Wally West.) He never got his own animated series either and adapting him and his mythos would be very fun.

Yeah, even now, his DCAU variant is still tons of fun. Wouldn't mind if a hypothetical Flash show on Wally cribbed off this take:

So they aren't gonna be pining for a while, they quickly ask the other out.

Also looks like Amazo is gonna show up.

The second episode feeds into my theory that Clark is just going to tell Lois (and maybe Jimmy too) he's Superman right off the bat and circumvent the usual double life drama.

Also, I'm hoping that the fifth episode has some classic Silver Age Jimmy Olsen superpower shenanigans.

Apparently, some independent reviewers got some early access to a few episodes. According to this thread complied by Twitter user SteelSandRun, they're reassuringly positive.

Across the seven episodes I’ve seen the series does choose to veer off from tradition slightly. It takes a measured approach to introducing each of Clark’s powers, starting with flight and slowly introducing the classic gifts that Earth’s sun bestows on the legendary hero.

[...] The younger skewing approach is the perfect entry point for a younger audience catching the series on Max. It’s first-run on Adult Swin seems somewhat baffling as there’s no extreme violence or language anywhere to be seen in these first seven episodes. Creating younger versions of the characters instantly makes them more fallible. We’re able to see them make bad choices and learn from them as their friendship and professional lives develop. [...]

The shades of light and dark in Quaid’s voice land perfectly for this version of the character. There are reflections of Christopher Reeves’ clumsy Clark perfectly evoking the character’s past. Across these seven episode his Superman is still finding his voice but there’s a character defining strength which sets apart the two alter egos appropriately.
