[Lizuka #BLM]

I'm really loving this show's design for Lois the more I see of it and I liked it to start with. Giving me some serious Phi from Zero Escape vibes seeing more pictures of it.

Apparently Clancy Brown is voicing Lex for this

That'd be his first time since Unlimited, right? Don't think he was in any of the DTV movies?

Don't think so, no. Quinto was the previous DTV Lex.

A look on IMDB says the technical last time in animated form was 2009's Batman/Superman: Public Enemies so this'd be his first time since that.

Unless you count video games, then it'd be since 2018

Why's Jimmy not a redhead?

This is one time when I don't understand the race swap.

I get that white people are the majority, but redheads aren't nearly as common as blondes and brunettes. They need to have people that "look like them" in stuff too.

Even make him mixed with red hair like my sister's kids.

There was a mass leak of character designs for this week, complete with character details.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}-An evil A.I version of Clark's Kryptonian mother Lara will be created by Brainiac and used to emotionally manipulate and abuse Clark

Jor-El kind of looks like Jaga from Thundercats and has something of a language barrier to overcome

Mxy looks like one of the Kais from Dragonball Z.

Lois has an 'idol' in the press that's none other than Batman's Vicki Vale

Steve Lombard is Clark, Lois and Jimmy's mentor at the Planet

Silver Banshee is in the show, but has green hair(?)

[WoodStoner1]

I feared the new post, given where this is going to be.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Had me terrified I was going to open this thread to find it cancelled.

Leaks sound odd but nothing I'm necessarily opposed to on the face of it.

I had an idea for a show called "My Adventures With Tony Danza" its theme song would be "Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza."

I'm sorry.

No word yet on this show being picked up by any streaming services.

Interview with co-producer Josephine Campbell

The Superman Homepage caught up with Josephine Campbell, Co-Producer for “My Adventures With Superman” to ask her about the upcoming HBO Max/Cartoon Network animated series.



Q: Clark and Lois are described as being in their 20s in “My Adventures With Superman,” how new are they to their jobs at the Daily Planet?



A: Clark, Lois and Jimmy are interns just starting at the Daily Planet – so they are incredibly new! We wanted to play with our characters’ origins, showing them at a stage of life most “Superman” media hasn’t fully explored. Plus, we love the idea of watching these three learn and grow to become the icons we all know.



Q: If you had to compare “My Adventures With Superman” to any previous version of the Superman story, which would you say it’s most like or draws most inspiration from?



A: Our North Star was the 1978 “Superman: The Movie,” especially the interplay between the incredible Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve. We loved their chemistry; we loved how smart and feisty Lois was, and loved the heart and altruism of Reeve’s Superman/Clark Kent. The movie was clever, fun, and modernized Superman in a way that felt organic to the time period, while also respectful of what came before. It truly is one of our favorite pieces of Superman media.



Outside of the classic ’78 movie, I and Co-EP’s Jake Wyatt and Brendan Clougher are all kids of the ’80s/’90s, so we’re also influenced by John Byrne’s “Man of Steel,” as well as the work of Jurgens, Bogdanove, and Simonson.





My Adventures With Superman

Q: What age group is “My Adventures With Superman” targeted at?



A: Much like the original 1978 film, we’re aiming for a wide co-viewing audience, where kids, teens, and adults can all sit down and watch together.



Q: What can you tell us about Jack Quaid’s interpretation of both Superman and Clark Kent?



A: Jack has been absolutely phenomenal to work with! He’s got great comedic timing as Clark, but he is also able to sell the kindness, strength, and dignity of Superman. It’s been a real privilege to work with him – and it’s also very funny to watch “The Boys” after a record. I really can’t look at Clark OR Hughie the same!





My Adventures With Superman

Q: Michael Emerson revealed that he’s voicing the role of Brainiac for the upcoming animated series, how much will we see of Brainiac? Will he play a large role in the series?



A: Michael is an incredible actor who we are excited to work with – I can’t say anything more outside of that!



Q: I believe a certain criminal “gang” will play an important role in the first season of “My Adventures With Superman” with a bit of a twist on the villains involved. Did you make a conscious decision to put your own spin on the villains who would show up on the series?



A: I can’t confirm what villains or characters people should expect to see. All I can say is that, overall, we were looking to modernize Superman while keeping true to the core of the characters, and we hope we’ve done that.





My Adventures With Superman

Q: With all the turmoil and upheaval at Warner Bros. Discovery in recent months, how concerned were you about “My Adventures With Superman” possibly being canceled?



A: We were very fortunate to learn early on that “Superman” would still be coming out on Cartoon Network and the app as planned. Mergers are always tumultuous, but we’re glad that we still get to bring our love for Superman to fans old and new.



Q: When will the series premiere on Cartoon Network?



A: No date has been announced as of yet, but stay tuned!





My Adventures With Superman

Q: What are you most excited for fans to see in “My Adventures With Superman”?



A: There’s a lot I’m excited for fans to see! I can’t wait for fans to see the relationship between Lois, Clark and Jimmy – these three are the heart of our show, and their friendship and adventures together drive the series and the character arcs for both season one and two.



I’m also especially excited for fans to see the romance between Lois and Clark unfold! Alice Lee and Jack Quaid have fantastic chemistry, and they bring so much humor and warmth to their characters. Lois and Clark/Superman are one of our culture’s most iconic and enduring love stories, so it was deeply important to us to give that part of the Superman mythos a lot of love and attention.



I’m excited for you guys to see the incredible action – we have a LOT of fun with Superman, his powers and his rogues gallery, and we went all out, 110% on every single fight in the show.



Lastly, I’m excited for the show to come out because I’m a huge Superman fan too! Working on Superman has been a dream come true, not just for me but for every single member of our crew. People came into work with their favorite Superman comics and movies to share with each other, screened the Fleischer Studios cartoons during lunch, and dug up the audio of the original Superman radio show from the ’40s to listen to as we wrote and drew. I and everyone on the show adore Superman in all his forms, and I can’t wait to share with you our version of the Big Blue Boy Scout

I got a virus warning clicking on that so would recommend trying to find a different link.

Also, yeah, every time this thread gets bumped I get scared.

I've reedited the post so it's just the interview and not the link

[The Captain]

Michael Emerson is voicing Brainiac? Damn that's good casting. Looking forward to Jack Quaid's take on Supes too.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Hopefully we get a full trailer soon, this barely shows anything but it seems promising.

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

I'm so glad we're getting media with boy scout Superman again. May the "evil Superman" trope please take a dirt nap for a while.

["Magic" Mark Hurr]

I dig the animation. With me it's the direction of the show and the key characters... characterization. If that's on point, we should have a decent show.

[Banjo Is Broken]

Superman does look a lot like Tony Danza.
