Warner Bros. has recently announced the premiere details of the upcoming My Adventures with Superman animated series. This anime-influenced cartoon will offer a fresh perspective on Clark Kent’s story during his early days as the Man of Steel, as he befriends Jimmy Olsen and falls in love with Lois Lane while protecting Metropolis.

Change Of Platform

Adult Swim

Originally intended to air on HBO Max, the plans have now changed for the series. A new press release from Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that My Adventures with Superman will be airing later this year but not on HBO Max. The animated program will now release its episodes on the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network.

In addition to the Adult Swim block, the series will also have encore runs on Cartoon Network’s Toonami after the episodes air.

Excitement For The Update

Jack Quaid

Jack Quaid, the series star who will voice Clark Kent, expressed his enthusiasm for the update on Instagram. He hyped up the series by donning a Superman t-shirt, stating that he couldn’t be more excited for the series’ release on Adult Swim and Toonami later this year.

Series Synopsis

My Adventures with Superman

The show’s official synopsis explains that My Adventures with Superman will focus on Clark Kent’s growth into the role of Superman. Lois Lane, who is rising through the ranks of The Daily Planet as an intrepid reporter, takes the plucky photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. The series will explore what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane, and judging by the key art shown, it will be much more comical and lighthearted than recent Superman incarnations.

Apart from Jack Quaid as Clark, My Adventures with Superman will feature Alice Lee as Lois and Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy.

The series’ release is fortunate given that Warner Bros. Discovery canceled and purged many pieces of released and in-development content last year. Fans of the Man of Steel eagerly anticipate My Adventures with Superman’s upcoming release on Adult Swim and Toonami later this year.
