Yesterday, DC shared more information on the upcoming My Adventures with Superman series, including a brand new trailer, new artwork, and an update on the release schedule. They also note that the series will debut with back-to-back episodes at midnight on July 6th on Adult Swim and then be available for streaming on Max the next day. The series stars Jack Quaid as Clark Kent, Alice Lee as Lois Lane, and Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen.

“Man of Steel” versions of Superman aren’t always my favorite hero to watch due to a lack of humanity that can cause the character to become a bit unrelatable, so I’m very intrigued at the approach to telling a Superman story with a newsroom-led view on the relationships between Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen.

As a big fan of late 90s and early 00s anime, I am also beyond intrigued by the animation depicted in the trailer. The characters look amazing and I love the approach used to express facial emotions. It’s truly one of my favorite differences between American cartoons and Japanese anime.

An overview of the upcoming series from DC:

“My Adventures with Superman” is a serialized coming-of-age story catching up with twenty-somethings Clark Kent, the bright and driven Lois Lane, and their best friend Jimmy Olsen as they begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative reporting team at the Daily Planet. The story follows Clark as he builds his secret identity as Superman and explores his own mysterious origins. Lois, on her way to becoming a star reporter, teams up with photographer Jimmy Olsen to break the stories that matter. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love… as Lois gets closer and closer to uncovering his secret identity!  Our trio share adventures, take down bad guys, stumble over secrets, and discover what it means to be heroes in their own right.
