The Man Of Steel returns in My Adventures With Superman
WORDS: JEFF SPRY
Lois interviews Superman. If only she knew, eh? Eh?
BILLED AS A FRESH coming-of-age tale, new animated series My Adventures With Superman hopes to leap competing superhero shows in a single bound with the internship trio of nerdy Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), an ambitious Lois Lane (Alice Lee) and the cameratoting Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid) teaming up to forge an investigative reporting squad at the Daily Planet.
“The core thing that’s different all ripples out from Clark,” says showrunner Jake Wyatt regarding how this series compares to previous Superman fare. “There’s the famous Kill Bill monologue about how Clark Kent is the mask and Superman’s the real guy. We started with the inversion of that. He’s Clark. He was raised by Ma and Pa. It’s the name he’s answered to his whole life.”
