My Adventures with Superman is an animated superhero series developed by Jake Wyatt. It centers around the titular superhero's early adventures in Metropolis and his relationships with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.
Premiering on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block in 2023 before moving to the Toonami block for its second season, the series has been met with positive reception from critics and audiences, with many praising the animation and primary trio of characters. A tie-in comic was released to bridge the gap between the first two seasons.
Premise[]
My Adventures with Superman follows young reporter Clark Kent as he uses his Kryptonian powers to establish himself as the hero "Superman" in the city of Metropolis. Along with fellow reporter Lois Lane, who he holds romantic feelings for, and photographer Jimmy Olsen, they investigate important stories and manage to protect the city from various supervillains.
In the first season, the trio comes into conflict with General Sam Lane and Task Force X, who intend to take down Superman out of the belief that he is connected to an incoming alien invasion.
In the second season, Superman meets the malevolent Primus Brainiac and his ward, Superman's own cousin Kara Zor-El. They plan to conquer Earth, bringing them up against Superman, Lois and their allies.

Trivia[]
- My Adventures with Superman is the first DC animated series to be broadcast during Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block.
- In the episode "Kiss Kiss Fall in Portal", Mr. Mxyzptlk physically transformed the Clark from this universe into five different Supermen while recruiting him. The second of those five Supermen, the one Mxy described as being from "Earth-12," was the Superman from the 1941 cartoons, the version who has sometimes been said to exist on Earth-Prime. However, when Leader Lois Lane later recruited the Lois and Jimmy from this series, she identified them as being the Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen from Earth-12, a "previously-unknown universe."
