My Adventures with Superman will follow Clark Kent in his twenties in a coming-of-age style story. Superman will be voiced by Jack Quaid (The Boys), and will also feature Alice Lee as Lois Lane and Ishmael Sahid as the voice of Jimmy Olsen. The trailer blends modern animation with a classic Superman flair, and shows that Clark and Jimmy will start interning at the Daily Planet at the same time.
The series will feature Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) as executive producer. Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus) and Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender) are on board as co-executive producers and Josie Campbell (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) as co-producer. Thankfully we don’t have to wait too much longer to see the series in action, and you can find the full description below.
