The iconic Last Son of Krypton, Superman, has made a triumphant return through the exciting new Adult Swim animated series, My Adventures With Superman. Although the series will premiere on the Cartoon Network programming block, DC fans can catch the episodes the following day on Warner Bros' streaming service, MAX. In case you missed the series premiere or aren't a subscriber, fear not! The first episode of My Adventures With Superman has already been released, and here's how you can embark on this fresh take on Metropolis and its beloved superhero.
The strong influence of anime on this new narrative, which focuses on Clark Kent's early adventures as Superman, is hard to miss. One particular clip from the series, featuring Superman swiftly donning his costume in a transformation reminiscent of Sailor Moon, has gone viral. Fans are eager to see if My Adventures With Superman will incorporate more nods to the anime medium. Notably, the recent announcement of the Suicide Squad Isekai at this year's Anime Expo further demonstrates DC Comics' commitment to immersing their greatest heroes and villains in the world of anime.
During a conversation with Collider, actor Jack Quaid, the voice behind Clark Kent in My Adventures With Superman, revealed his sources of inspiration when approaching the iconic Man of Steel. Quaid shared, "All-Star Superman served as a major inspiration. In that story, you truly witness the absolute sincerity of the character. Superman For All Seasons also captured a similar essence. Both of these comics were significant influences on my portrayal of Superman." Quaid further highlighted the unique aspect of this rendition, emphasizing Clark's prominence over the superhero persona. "What I appreciate about this version is that Clark is at the forefront. He isn't a facade adopted to be more relatable or to deceive others. Clark is his genuine self at the core, and he is still exploring his identity as Superman while balancing his internship at a newspaper. He has a deep desire to be a reporter as well, which I find incredibly cool."
