Apparently, My Adventures with Superman has already been ordered for two seasons and doesn't sound like it's going to be skewing all that much younger. Art style aside focusing on "20 something lives' looks more on the Voltron end than Teen Titans Go.
https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/19/2...superman-showsOn the flip side of the thematic coin is My Adventures with Superman, which will follow the 20-something lives of Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), Lois Lane (Alice Lee), and Jimmy Olsen as they collectively start their journalism careers, fall in love, and for Clark, start his burgeoning career as the Man of Steel.
My Adventures with Superman has already been ordered for two seasons and will be executive produced by Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!), Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus), and Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender). And based on the promotional image, expect it to fit in the mode of those more family-friendly animated shows.

I'm an Always Long Hair-er for Lois, but I've become more attracted to certain short hairstyles on women the older I get.
The raceswapping, I'm in general not a fan of the idea for various reasons but that's been argued before elsewhere. But I guess it doesn't bother me as much with Jimmy because unlike Superman, his look just isn't quite asi iconic. I mean to us comic book readers of course he's the sweater vest wearing ginger. But general audience? In live action I don't think the character has ever actually been portrayed by a freckled redhead. His look tends to vary anyway.

The show looks adorable and a great way to get a new generation of kiddos interested in Superman and Lois Lane. It will definitely be a welcome addition in my house. I’m in!
I'm really uncomfortable with anything based off Max Landis given the accusations leveled against him. Which this very much appears to be. It's why I skipped the recent animated movie. I would love to see this but DC needs to have a real conversation with itself about how attached to this guy they really want to be. I love the idea of a young Superman show aimed at kids. And as a southpaw myself, I love seeing a left handed Superman! But they need to use the Landis inspirations sparingly given everything going on with him.
Assassinate Putin!
I've never been on board with Landis ever since he made that video on the "Death of Superman," so it's not like I like his work or I'm defending his ideas, but how would you feel if they took some of his ideas and neither credited him nor paid him? If the dude had a few good ideas, I think they should be on the table to be lifted, and all the better if there didn't need to be any reason to acknowledge the ideas came from him.
I highly highly doubt that there is anything more than a superficial resemblance between American Alien and this series. Landis isn't getting a royalty check "20-something Lois & Clark" or for making Lois half Asian or Jimmy African American.
Chris Rock was cast as Jimmy Olsen for the aborted Superman Lives. Landis wasn't the first to raceswapping Jimmy, it's not exclusive to his work.
Now that you think about it, there hasn’t been much Superman content for the tykes nowadays. I mean outside the Superman and Lois show, the most prominent media he was was in a R-rated movie that had F-bombs and blood not too long ago. Between Injustice, the Snyder movies, and even the R-rated Harley Quinn cartoon Supes has actually been in more things for older audiences than in stuff meant for the audience he was initially intended for: children. That’s both kind of hilarious to and weirdly kind of sad in a way. So doing an all-ages Superman show for where he isn’t evil for the up-teeth time is actually kind of refreshing for the character.

Agreed.
I wonder if we'll see Kara show up in season 2.
I'd like to see them use the Planet cast a bit more than other adaptions have.
My takeaway is that the Clark/Lois stuff is a romance slice of life while the Superman stuff is more traditional Superhero.
Don't remind me .
He was featured in various Lego movies (both on film and for direct-to-DVD) and was on all ages cartoons like Justice League Action and DC Super Hero Girls (even if he doesn't come off that well in the latter).
Not a fan of the art style but I’m not really an anime fan in general. At least they’re still trying with Superman.
