Actor Jack Quaid has posted an update regarding Season 2 of the “My
Adventures With Superman” animated series.
“Couldn’t have been happier with the response to
#MyAdventuresWithSuperman. Thank you to everyone who watched it. It was
an absolute DREAM to voice this character. We have already have a season 2
in the can, so get ready for more at some point!”

While no premiere date has been announced as yet, it’s great to hear that
Season 2 has been completed and we will no doubt hear official word on a 2024
release of Season 2 in the near future.

A few months ago the Superman Homepage conducted an exclusive interview

with executive producer Josephine Campbell in which she spoke about Season
1 and some of the things they have planned for the upcoming second season.

Those who tuned in for the first season of Adult Swim's My Adventures with
Superman animated series; were met with confusion upon the resulting villain
roster the series chose to pit against the Man of Steel.

When people generally think of Superman villains - they think of General Zod,
Lex Luthor, Braniac, and Bizzaro - the more notable and generally known
villains of Superman.

During a recent interview with the Cosmic Cube (full Interview here); My
Adventures With Superman Producer; Josie Campbell, reflected on her
conversation with Warner Bros. about which big name villains they were
allowed to use, noting: “[fans] have seen… a million times:”
“Some of it was… Warner Bros…. and I think it was it was a good note. Like our
big execs on Warner Brothers were like, ‘Well, these are the big hitters that
everybody’s seen and everybody’s expecting. And we’ve seen this a million
times, so we want your twists on things.’ And I think it was Sam Register… and
Audrey Diehl, who were doing notes with us, were like, ‘These characters take
up the whole screen. They kind of suck the air out because they’re so famous,
and there’s so many expectations, so hold off on them. Hold off on these
characters, and build the story how you see fit.’”

“And so that’s sort of what we did, was… we were like, ‘Okay, we’re not gonna
have Lex Luthor. We are not going to have the Brainiac stuff coming in. We’re
going to start small, we’re going to start with… Clark is still learning his powers
and figuring out who he is. So, we’re going to start small and start with some of
these lesser-known villains. We’re going to start with some of these weirder
villains. We’re gonna build up.’”

We don’t want to see the same thing we’ve always seen.’ And you know, some
of that also is me being a Deathstroke fan, and Brendan [Clogher] being a
Deathstroke fan, and Jake [Wyatt] being a Deathstroke fan… And then it was
really fun finding their voices in that scene with Livewire and Deathstroke facing
up against each other. It was really fun. Doing that scene was very fun…“

“Then we’re also bringing Amanda Waller, who is, again, one of our favorite
characters, and she’s teamed up with the General. And here’s our different
version of Task Force X, and you can see how it’s slowly morphing into maybe
closer to the version that we all know because now Amanda Waller’s in charge.
But yeah, with everything, we wanted to subvert expectations, we wanted to
pick things that were surprising, and we wanted to showcase different
characters and villains and things that like we thought would be fun to pair up.”

The season 1 finale of My Adventures With Superman did set up a very

interesting plot for season 2; mostly within the appearances of the series' take
on both General Zod, and Braniac conquering different planets.
A fight between them and the Man of Steel is imminent.
Who would you want to see appear in My Adventures with Superman season
2?

Clark Kent builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the
hero of Metropolis, while sharing adventures and falling in love with Lois, a
journalist, who also takes Jimmy Olsen under her wing.

My Adventures with Superman is an American animated superhero television

series based on the DC Comics character Superman. The series is developed
by Jake Wyatt, and produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment
with animation outsourced to Studio Mir in South Korea. The series premiered
on Adult Swim on July 7, 2023, with each episode releasing on Max shortly after
broadcast. A second season is currently in production.

My Adventures with Superman is a ratings hit for Adult Swim, taking the top
spot in its timeslot for a big demo.

My Adventures with Superman made its premiere over the Spring and Summer
months with Adult Swim, and it has been a massive hit for the network leading
into the second season! It was surprisingly announced that a new anime
inspired take on Superman would be coming to Adult Swim, and fans flocked to
each of the new episodes as they aired. Introducing fans to new takes on Clark
Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and more DC Comics icons, My Adventures with
Superman wrapped up its first season with a major success for Adult Swim as it
dominated in the ratings according to a new report.
Warner Bros. Discovery recently outlined its ratings successes for the year so
far in a new press release, and for Adult Swim noted that My Adventures with
Superman "ranked #1 in its timeslot among Men 18-34 and is the #2 highest-
rated original freshman series for the network this year among Adults 18-49 and
18-34 and among Men 18-49 and 18-34." Which means that the debut season
really drew a lot of attention, and now fans can look forward to the now in
production second season.

How to Watch My Adventures with Superman

My Adventures with Superman announced that Season 2 of the new animated
series was already in the works, but has not confirmed a release date or
window as of the time of this writing. This means there's plenty of time to catch
up with the ten episode first season of the animated series now streaming with
Max. Starring Jack Quaid as Clark Kent, Alice Lee as Lois Lane, and Ishmel
Sahid as Jimmy Olsen, Adult Swim teases My Adventures with Superman
Season 1 as such:

"My Adventures with Superman is a serialized coming-of-age story catching up

with twenty-somethings Clark Kent, the bright and driven Lois Lane, 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. The story follows Clark as he builds his secret identity as Superman and
explores his own mysterious origins. Lois, on her way to becoming a star
reporter, teams up with photographer Jimmy Olsen to break the stories that
matter. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love… as Lois gets closer and
closer to uncovering his secret identity! Our trio share adventures, take down
bad guys, stumble over secrets, and discover what it means to be heroes in
their own right."

Fue en mayo de 2021 cuando se dió el anuncio. Una nueva serie animada del
hombre de Acero de Cartoon Network, que sería transmitida por Adult Swim, y
Max y HBO Max Latinoamérica.
Hemos visto a Superman animado en varias ocasiones: en películas animadas,
algunas series no muy exitosas (JLAction), pero la última vez que tuvimos una
serie animada de Superman en solitario, fue en la exitosísima Superman The
Animated Series.Más de 20 años después, tendríamos una nueva oportunidad
de volver a ver al Hombre de Acero en acción de manera animada.
Hoy queremos hacer un análisis de lo bueno y lo malo de esta primera
temporada, destacando una serie que se salió completamente de lo que
acostumbrábamos.

Este es nuestro Review de la Primera Temporada de My Adventures With

Superman.

LO BUENO

La serie inició de manera muy distinta a otras series, especialmente animadas,

ya que vemos a un Clark niño en Smallville, en vez del origen. Esto nos ahorró
toda una introducción y nos llevó directamente a la acción, mientras que su
origen nos lo fueron presentando conforme pasaron los capítulos.

La idea de que Clark, Lois y Jimmy son veinteañeros, le da un toque diferente a

la serie, porque todos están descubriendo sus talentos. Esto le ha dado a la
serie una expectativa muy diferente, pues estamos en una etapa de
descubrimiento junto a los protagonistas.

Los escritores han tomado algunas decisiones de argumento y se han dado

algunas libertades, lo cual es positivo. El asunto de la “nave” de Clark es, por
ejemplo, una de las libertades bien logradas.

Sin duda, lo primero que llama la atención es el estilo de dibujo, muy animé, lo
cual le presta muchísima frescura y dinamismo.

La elección de cambiarle los rasgos a personajes no es nuevo, Jimmy es un

buen ejemplo, lo mismo que Perry White. En este aspecto fueron bastante
cuidadosos, y hasta fue esperable. Otro aspecto que introdujeron sutilmente
más no forzaron, fueron un par de temas sobre homosexualidad -que rosaron
notoriamente con otro tipo de temas un poco más polémicos- sin embargo la
forma en como se han tocado estos temas, no generaron incomodidad a nadie.

La música, creada por Dominic Lewis y Daniel Futcher, junto al tema inicial de
Kyle Troop, son también puntos altos. Es una musicalización muy bien llevada,
que se ajusta al tono de la serie y la dinámica que conlleva.
Las interpretaciones de voz de Jack Quaid, Alice Lee e Ismel Sahid en inglés,
quienes interpretan a Clark, Lois y Jimmy respectivamente, ha sido un gran
aporte a la hora de darle vida a cada personaje.

En español Latino, el gran aporte de José Duran como Superman, así mismo
Arlet Matute como Lois, y Carlos Pinto como Jimmy, le han aportado
demasiada vida a los personajes en nuestro idioma.

La elección de las historias es fascinante, porque se inició desde los clásicos

villanos comunes y corrientes, hasta terminar con retos mucho más grandes,
que aportan desafíos a los personajes cada vez más grandes.

En cuanto a la historia, obviamente fue llevada en varios tonos. Entre la

comedia, el drama, el romanticismo y por supuesto la ciencia-ficción como tal.
Aunque tiene sus bemoles, la historia fue constantemente llevada a lo largo de
los 10 episodios.

LO MALO

El tono caricaturesco, muy presente en la serie, puede que no sea por sí solo
un aspecto negativo. No se espera que toda serie, mucho menos una animada,
sea “seria” per se… sin embargo, puede que haya un abuso del humor y de las
situaciones que envuelven a los personajes. Reiteramos, no es un aspecto
negativo, pero si podría provocar que al personaje no se le tome en serio.
Recordemos que para algunos este podría ser su primer contacto con
Superman.

Paradójicamente, el estilo animé ha sido uno de los aspectos que han gustado
y molestado al mismo tiempo. No tanto el dibujo, sino que se utilizan algunos
clichés o costumbres de series de ese tipo en nuestros personajes, como las
mejillas enrojecidas, o el cambio de rostro exagerado para denotar algún
sentimiento.

A esto también habría que añadirle la forma en como Superman comenzó a ser
Superman. Su primera conversión recordó series de animé muy clásicas, y fue
objeto de burla. Dichosamente no se repitió más, y luego se mantuvo el status
quo normal.
Otro gran problema que tiene la serie, es que casi todos los personajes
protagonistas no son reconocibles en cuanto a su personalidad. Lois se
comporta muy infantilmente, Jimmy tiene un comportamiento exagerado, quizá
Clark parece ser lo que debe ser, sin embargo también tiende a tener rasgos
no reconocibles.

Mas o menos a mitad de la temporada, hubo una leve caída en la calidad de

las historias, lo cual generó una disminución evidente en el interés de los fans.
Eso no ayudó a mantener el nivel y, aunque tiene opiniones bastante positivas,
las negativas parecen ganar terreno respecto al tono y dirección que lleva la
serie.

LO PREOCUPANTE

La serie tiene un buen nivel. Y como siempre en producciones de este tipo que
logran algo así, al finalizar la temporada y en espera de la siguiente, surge el
razonable cuestionamiento de si serán capaces de mantenerlo -el nivel nos
referimos- en una próxima temporada.

Que por cierto, aunque sabemos que la serie ya tiene solicitada una segunda
temporada, y que seguramente se ha estado trabajando en ella, no sabemos si
de la huelga de guionistas y de actores se tendrá algún tipo de consecuencia.
Para eso tendremos que estar atentos.

Otro aspecto que tendremos que ver su evolución, es como tratarán la relación
Clark-Lois. Es una serie juvenil por lo que parecería que van a ser reservados
en cuanto a su interacción, sin embargo en series de tipo animé sabemos que
a veces tienden a explotar temas variados para generar algún tipo de morbo.
Veremos si My Adventures with Superman la llevan a ese nivel.

LO QUE SE ESPERA

El final de temporada fue interesante, y nos deja abierta la posibilidad de la

llegada de nuevos, pero clásicos personajes. Esto para aumentar los retos que
debe enfrentar Superman y sus compañeros.
También podría ser buen momento para que se cuente con más vehemencia el
origen de este Superman, pues aunque no parece ser un requisito, también le
da crecimiento al origen de Clark en la trama.

Y no podemos olvidar que la serie trata de autodescubrimiento, por lo que sería

interesante ver como todos los protagonistas descubren su potencial, tanto
como reporteros por parte de Clark y Lois, de camarógrafo de Jimmy, y de los
poderes y capacidades de Superman.

LO MAS DESTACADO
Uno de los momentos más destacados se dió en el capítulo siete de la serie,
cuando la producción realizó una serie de homenajes a otras encarnaciones
animadas, nombrando nuevamente el multiverso.

La inclusión de un lenguaje kryptoniano fue un punto alto, y nos dejó con la

expectativa de escucharlo aún más.Las participaciones de Superman como tal,
también son de destacar. No es nada nuevo todo el potencial que las series
animadas tienen en cuanto a efectos y límites de las capacidades del Hombre
de Acero, pero siempre es interesante ver a Superman realizando proezas, que
en este tipo de producciones es más accesible de lograr.

My Adventures With Superman has so far done an excellent job of establishing
the classic love story of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The two have always been
destined to become lovers as far back as in the pages of the comics, and the
series has been building that storyline very well!

The series nailed the whole "will they won't they" trope between the character's,
for their awkward chemistry couldn't have been done in a cuter fashion more
than it was during the first season.

My Adventures With Superman Producer, Josie Campbell, has offered a tease

of which direction fans can expect to see the twos' relationship's trajectory
moving forward into the second season.
"We did get picked up originally when we pitched it for two seasons. So, we’re
in production right now in season two... We’ll make a big deal out of it when it is
announced so everybody knows when to tune back in and watch Clark and Lois
flirt some more."

"I mean, we pitched this as a rom-com with punching and I feel like we’ve lived
up to both parts of that pitch."
"The joy of this series was us getting to write Lois and Clark falling in love and
navigating their relationship. There’s still going to be ups and downs. It’s not all
going to be smooth sailing but, it is fun to write a relationship in its early stages.
It’s fun to write crushes."

So far, fans of the animated series have shared their love and positivity for the
show's take on the couple - to which Campbell is swept away by:

"The response has been wonderful. You see so many people reacting to it like,
‘Oh! Oh my goodness, Clark Kent.’ They’re also reacting to their relationship
and liking that romantic tension."

Much is set to unfold in Season 2 - especially the trinity of Clark, Lois, and
Jimmy Olsen, learning that Superman may not stay the hero he claims to be in
spite of the rogue Superman hologram they witnessed terrorizing another
universe.

Perhaps the sheer destruction from that minor glimpse will be enough to
distraught the twos' relationship?

My Adventures with Superman is an American animated superhero television

series based on the DC Comics character Superman. The series is developed
