Season 1 Review: While the series does have a few pacing issues, and a lack of a strong supporting cast, it more than makes up for it with its slick art and strong leading trio. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It all works so well — from the anime-style design to some great dialogue to the strong supporting voice cast (including Chris Parnell as deadly mercenary Deathstroke/Slade Wilson, which is honestly a genius choice). Read full review

Season 1 Review: My Adventures with Superman fuses DC Comics canon and shonen anime tropes to put a fresh and charming spin on the Man of Steel. While there are a few weaker characters, the show’s first seven episodes show huge potential driven by weird villains, complex fights and a tight ensemble. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The performances continue to be fun and playful, especially Quaid’s adorably awkward Superman, and the animation sequences are still incredibly well-done. In watching the beginning of this second season, it’s hard not to think the same thought I had the first time around: this is truly the best future for the Man of Steel. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Over 80 years since the creation of this iconic character, it is a testament to the strength and flexibility of Superman and his mythos that he is still able to be molded and shaped in new and exciting ways, and My Adventures with Superman does just that—and is a hell of a good time to boot.

Season 2 Review: The blend of Daily Planet antics, personal relationships, and battles against supervillains feels a bit lumpy in the Season 2 premiere of My Adventures with Superman, though the show continues to be carried by its great anime-inspired action and goofy humor. Read full review

Season 2 Review: These first two episodes of My Adventures With Superman aren’t revolutionary by any means, and they’re not even the show’s best. However, they serve as a solid start to the next chapter of Clark’s hero journey, and honestly, that’s all we could ask for. Read full review

The better approach on Superman. Love seeing his common life side working as a journalist (or an intern lol). This show, perhaps, isn't going to be the DEFINITIVE version of Superman, and that's ok, it's a cartoon. It's ok for him to be a himbo, and etc etc etc etc.

It's a really fun interpretation of the Superman. It has some anime traits that gives this series an very unique vibe if you compare with others superhero animations. I highly recommend.

Sailor Krypton...
None of these characters act like they have since the beginning of their creation to 2014.

What even is this?
I'll say this: Don't look to this show for any kind of faithful representation of the Superman mythos. If you are mostly a fan of animation (particularly this style of animation), or this is your first interaction with the character, there may very well be something hereWhat even is this?

If you are mostly a fan of animation (particularly this style of animation), or this is your first interaction with the character, there may very well be something here for you that I'm not seeing...
To be clear: I'm okay with re-contextualizing a legend like this, to a point. After all, it isn't the 1940s, or '70s, or '90s anymore. Settings, technology, and cultural references/influences are all fair game to update when reintroducing a classic character. (That said, Metropolis is apparently just San Francisco, which is somehow 150 miles from Smallville, Kansas?)
And in the impossibly large Kryptonian ship, Jor-El is speaking Italian, and there's a full-on Sailor Moon costume change.
I don't understand. And maybe I'm not meant to. Maybe this iteration wasn't made for me. That's okay. But I also don't know who it was made for. Or why.
In case you were wondering, I give it two stars for-when he finally does get his super sayan costume-Martha putting the red briefs on her little boy. The only joke I laughed at in 40 minutes.… Expand

Really Bad
You know it does not bode well for the show if already the first minutes suck terribly. How can Clark, already a decade into his powers still be breaking things left and right due to his strength every few minutes.
Because he is nervous? Come on, that is ridiculous. And also theReally Bad
You know it does not bode well for the show if already the first minutes suck terribly. How can Clark, already a decade into his powers still be breaking things left and right due to his strength every few minutes.
Because he is nervous? Come on, that is ridiculous. And also the other problem you notice immediately. Everyone seems to have their emotions scaled to 11. It might work in some shows where characters are backed by funny humour but here it is not. They, especially Lois, simply come of bipolar and annoying. None of them are likeable. And this is Superman! What is happening here?
The story is uninteresting and the villain might as well be any random person for all the menace and charisma his character gives off.
Just a terrible, poorly written, badly generic and unfunny show, a very bad name for the beloved hero.… Expand
