A smiling Clark Kent is the best Clark Kent.
Max and Adult Swim's new series My Adventures with Superman has turned Clark Kent into an anime hero, and it's the best creative decision DC's made in years. Hear me out: My Adventures with Superman comes with a prestigious heritage. Warner Bros. Animation's long line of cartoons successfully captured the DC mythos so well, they’re often considered the most faithful and beloved adaptations of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League.
Simply put, My Adventures with Superman is the healing balm the world needs right now. Its playful, gently upbeat atmosphere proves that if you can’t do Superman joyfully, you shouldn’t be in the Metropolis playground. The production design bursts with color and light both stylistically and emotively while still letting Clark grapple with his mysterious origins in flashbacks that inform the narrative rather than studiously retelling the origin story ground we've heard a dozen times.
My Adventures with Superman handles Lois in particular with exquisitely astute grace. If Clark is the antidote to grimdark media, Lois is the corrective countermeasure to the many failed attempts to encapsulate one of DC Comics' most enduring women. With her snazzy short hair and button-down blouses, Lois is as fiercely driven as a speeding Ferrari on an empty highway.
‘My Adventures With Superman’ Understands Clark Kent Then there's Clark Kent, the titular man in question. Hands down, My Adventures with Superman is one of the most achingly beautiful and accurate depictions of Superman to date. Clark’s floundering exuberance paired with his extraordinarily muscular physique is the American version of a shonen anime protagonist deposited into the superhero world. He's earnest, idealistic, and compassionate to a fault while also being a klutz.
