My Adventures With Superman (HBO Max Series)

I want Jon Kent and Beacon, but those guys are probably never happening.

Yeah, I doubt Jon's coming unless they want to invoke Brian Micheal Bendis' take and have him time travel to the past, teasing Lois & Clark's destined relationship.

Also, can I say it's cool to have two modern Superman series that focused on these two now? I hope this series manages to do it well.

I'd dig seeing Conner and Kara to emphasize an adorable sibling relationship with Clark.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

A look at Superman in costume◊.

Ooooh that is pretty.

Wait who's the girl on the far right?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

x2: Is there a direct source of the image by the way? I can tell the link's from Reddit, but I can't seem to find it.

Maybe a relative or friend of Jimmy's? He's been associated with kids clubs somewhat before, I think?

Secret Signature

Close. Jimmy is usually in charge of Cub Reporters, which I think is the closest thing to interns in the Daily Planet? Not sure?

Jimmy also has a fan club dedicated to him. Last I checked, they were a cavalcade of kids who helped Jimmy out big time in the (very awesome) Jimmy Olsen series by Matt Fraction.

Come to think of it, Jimmy recently got a sister named Janie Olsen in said series by Matt Fraction. Maybe that girl is her?

In any case, I managed to upscale the image to some degree.◊ Think it helps?

Jimmy has a sister in modern comics, Janie, and I think he has one in the arrowverse too.

I'm glad that they included the tights. The New 52 style all blue suit never looked right to me.

Jimmy being taller than Lois feels wrong

Nu 52/Rebirth have made Clark, Lois, and Jimmy the same age, so it makes sense. Maybe the kid is part of the Newsboy Legion? That's a part of Superman's cast that NEVER gets adapted.

I'm impressed how we're on page 3 already and it's not even half a day yet.

Oh yeah I'd also like to see the Legion here.

Especially if they bring back Brainiac 5's guy crush on Superman from the Legion cartoon, that be cool.

First Superman cartoon in decades, we excited.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I think a lot of us are just really happy to see a non-grimdark Superman series.

I like Lois's design, but I do admit that at first glance, I thought for a second that she was a boy.

Yes so much.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

x5: Given that older series' have greater availability these days, it can be a bit surprising to remember that it's been something like 20 years since Superman was the star of his own dedicated cartoon show. Add to that the fact that CN hasn't seemed inclined to give much space to DC properties that aren't Teen Titans Go for a number of years now. Maybe WB is reminding them who's in charge.

Tell me about it. I only really made that realization with the announcement. I myself am a 2000s kid that grew up with reruns and DVDs of the DCAU, so the 90s shows were technically still my generation's DCU. Thinking about it now, there just wasn't a dedicated 2000s or 2010s Superman cartoon, which is kind of wild to think about.

The Batgod required shows for his worship

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Right. He had DC Universe movies, and was in Justice League and Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, and Justice League Action, and even had a number of guest appearances in the 2004 The Batman, so it's not like he's been completely absent, it's just that he hasn't had his own series.

Amusingly the last Batman cartoon got screwed over by CN in favor of Go.

Which unfortunately also screwed over the Green Lantern cartoon.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

The girl is a member of the Newsboy Legion who works for the Daily Planet. I'm guessing the group will have a more gender neutral name this time.

Superman's boots don't form an "m" at the top! Wrong! Fail! This show is evil!

Hopefully, you all knew I was kidding.
