Premiering tonight is Adult Swim's MyAdventuresWithSuperman: a hopeful and original take on Clark Kent and the Superman mythos; annagovert reviews:
, stars Jack Quaid as the titular Superman, also known as Clark Kent, as he begins his new internship at the Daily Planet with his best friend Jimmy Olsen . There, he meets a daring and plucky fellow intern Lois Lane , who immediately decides that they are going to do everything in their power to break the biggest stories in Metropolis to become real reporters, and impress their boss Perry White.
This version of Superman is comforting and kind, both because of and in spite of his lack of knowledge around his identity—he’s layered and complex, but he still carries that classic hope and optimism in his heart. Superman has always been able to be molded into a metaphor for marginalization, alienation, and self-discovery, andbrings this larger-than-life character down to Earth in a grounded and refreshing way.
While the deviation from comic canon for Clark is refreshing, sometimes the deviations in its villains can be frustrating. In the medium of animation, where some of these B-list DC characters can be brought to life in a form other than an actor on The CW wearing a leather jacket and a bad wig, there is a hint of disappointment when this series presents a shell of those characters as well.
