It\u2019s a bird. It\u2019s a plane. It\u2019s on Adult Swim? Over the course of 10 episodes, Season 1 of \u201cMy Adventures with Superman\u201d (MAWS) has finally wrapped. With season 2 in the works, does MAWS live up to the hype? If you don\u2019t get the intro or you just don\u2019t remember cable, \u201cMy Adventures with Superman\u201d aired weekly on Cartoon Network\u2019s Adult Swim, CN\u2019s nighttime, adult-oriented programming block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was announced early on, though to mixed reception. The show had seemed very family-friendly so far, so why was it airing on Adult Swim of all places? I\u2019m not so sure it really matters. At the end of the day, animation is a medium for storytelling like any other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If anything, I see that timeslot as an opportunity for more mature plots should the writers feel like that\u2019s where they want the series to go. After watching this first season, I think that was a good decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please go watch this show. For your own sake. It\u2019s so fun. Whether you\u2019re a fan of Superman, comics, DC as a whole, animation, sitcoms, action, this show has something for you. I cannot recommend this enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first season follows a young Clark Kent, his roommate Jimmy Olsen, and an evereager Lois Lane as they all begin interning at the Daily Planet. All the while, Clark struggles to keep his powers a secret as he comes to terms with the inherent responsibility he feels to the citizens of Metropolis and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This show is such a fresh take on the character and world of Superman, but it doesn\u2019t stop there. More notable villains like Parasite and Livewire get some major, yet faithful, overhauls. Certain characters that aren\u2019t even Superman originals make an appearance, but I\u2019ll let you experience those if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a life-long DC fan, the fact that this has become one of my new favorite takes on the character says a lot. I thought back to Superman and Lois multiple times while watching and I\u2019d say that\u2019s a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think we\u2019re in the renaissance of classic Superman and I\u2019m glad to be here for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
