Adult Swim's new take on the Man of Steel is a superhero shonen with a lovably weird rom-com heart.

early on feels very much like it’s pulling from that particular genre , and Quaid and Lee play off each other incredibly well. For a genre that can oftenstrongest move is just letting Clark and Lois’ relationship evolveAdvertisementFeeling like an outsider has been one of the core pillars of Superman’s character for a long time, anddoesn’t stray from that characterization or his fears of not being able to lead a regular life.
Lois and Clark, along with his best friend/roommate Jimmy Olsen , are Daily Planet interns looking to work their way up the employment ranks. Having the three of them be all the same relative age, and with their own odd quirks, like Jimmy being a bit of a conspiracy nut, gives the show a sillier vibe that also’s further elevated by the show’s overall visual design.
and the word “adventures” really becomes fitting in that second half. After the first few episodes work to establish a handful of human villains and some of the supporting cast from the Daily Planet, later episodes go in a completely different direction as Clark, Lois, and Jimmy get pulled from one extreme to another. It isn’t bad so much as it is very sudden, and it may feel like the show is kicking into a new gear after being so fairly grounded in earlier episodes.
