so is this show actually worth checking out? is it more a lois lane sol show with superman stuff in the background, or a superman show but from lois's perspective?
Honestly, Lois and Clark share the spot light so much it feels like they’re costars. Yeah, there’s more Lois (and to a slightly lesser extent, more Jimmy) than are usually in a lot of Superman properties, but she still isn’t always quite the main character.
Best way I’ve seen it described is it’s a shojo romantic anime, and the gimmick this time is it’s also Superman.
>The main plot isn't really that engaging, especially for an action cartoon on Adult Swim.
Well it was meant to be on Cartoon Network. But it seems now that any action show isn't allowed there or any non comedic show geared towards a young audience. So they moved it to Adult Swim.
He’s not wearing a wig, he just hasn’t lost his hair yet. Probably it will all fall out immediately following some traumatic incident that’s coming up. Also of course he’s Lex. We’re just waiting on the “reveal” to officially confirm it, but we all already know.
My guess is they're probably saving Lex for S3 as the main baddie but he'll appear throughout S2 more. He probably won't lose his hair until much later.

If you're a hardcore "not muh" purist you might hate it on principle, it takes a lot of liberties with character designs and origins (Parasite is Prof. Ivo in power armor, Mallah and Brain are good guys, Intergang is basically just the Doronjos/Team Rocket, Bishonen Twink Slade, etc etc) but the actual writing is top notch, its an origin story but the show writers have the best understanding of Superman as a character I've seen in ages and the fun SOL stuff with young Superman is entertaining. What other anons have said are right in that it's more a shoujo romcom with Superman in it than a straight action show but it all works really well and avoids a lot of the shittiest romance tropes. Basically watch the first episode and go from there at least.
>Mallah and Brain are good guys
I mean they did totally blow up the building the first time with the black hole and killed who knows how many people and the league of loises said they messed the multiverse up with their traveling
Also in case anyone is interested, there's a six issue miniseries coming out that takes place between seasons one and two, and is based on an idea they had for an episode in the first season but didn't have time to make. I've preordered it.
Now that we're past the initial Lois and Clark stage, it should develop into a proper Superman show that everyone will be happy with. Either way, I'm watching
but I don't care about supergirl. I know she's getting the J. but still.
I thought we were done with the romcom and deepest lore power level shit would start.
Superman is a good guy who just wants to help people, treats them with genuine kindness and then he kisses Lois and flies while smiling. That's the core of Superman.
hell yeah dude

It's a romantic comedy. If you ever wanted a show where Lois and Clark are unapologetically horny for each other then this is the one for you.
Meh. Cain kino for me.
Just watch Lois and Clark, it's the same genre that this show is going for but better and actually focused.
I love it
If you worship the most generic tomboy porn then yes.
It’s a Superman show the same way Avatar is Aang’s show. He’s the lead and the one everything revolves around but his supporting cast get focus too
>heres a small tease of S2 to prove the season is pretty much done
>we will give you no release date
Terrible marketing
Yes, watch it
They probably aren’t giving a date because it’s getting moved to Toonami but they don’t want to take the spotlight off the currently running original
>The Main Man
Lobobros it's our time
>There is another like you
So, Supergirl? Seems kinda early to be introducing her.
End of S1 already set up Zod and Brainiac so it might be a bait and switch with Kara being a finale tease
It's Supergirl. Definitely put in to promote James Gunn's DCU.
Probably Zod
This show is at its best when it's more slice of life-ish. The main plot isn't really that engaging, especially for an action cartoon on Adult Swim.

Will Flip Johnson return?
Hooray more off-model tomboy Lois porn.
We're so back Supes bros!
Maybe we will find out if Alex is actually Lex and that he is wearing a wig
He’s not wearing a wig, he just hasn’t lost his hair yet. Probably it will all fall out immediately following some traumatic incident that’s coming up. Also of course he’s Lex. We’re just waiting on the “reveal” to officially confirm it, but we all already know.

Okay fair but neither of those were intentionally their faults at least
S3 hasn't been confirmed, S2 is just the second half of the original production order so this was already in the can
bump
>"There is another like you."
So that basically confirms Kara. Hopefully she won't be boring as sin like most versions of her.
Pic related for a good version of her.
Knowing this show she’ll probably be a mix of DCSHG Kara and Vegeta
It'll be Zod gang.
Dammit DC, I hate the comics but I always drawn into the animated stuff.
adaptations know to keep what works and ditch what doesn't. secondaries get the cream of the crop.
Siobhan has become the true waifu of the series
Kinda weird to see it on Adult Swim, nothing from it was reallly that violent or mature, hell the original animated series was darker
it was meant for regular CN but executive bullshit happened
That wounds about right
Hopefully S3, if there is one, has more "mature" stuff, without making it feel not like Superman
It's only on Adult Swim due to Zaslav's zaslaving, it was meant to be on CN
They're probably gonna get more sexy with it in later seasons.
It's Superman, let it be wholesome. There is no need to make it more mature.
it can be dark and also wholesome
That's cringe
Wholesome sex between Lois and Clark for the express purpose of procreation then.
That end in the clip tho
Also in case anyone is interested, there's a six issue miniseries coming out that takes place between seasons one and two, and is based on an idea they had for an episode in the first season but didn't have time to make. I've preordered it.
i'll wait for the trade
i'll wait for the storytime
That's a good way of using a deleted episode
It is, and I'm really looking forward to it. It'll help tide me over until the next season.
Now that we're past the initial Lois and Clark stage, it should develop into a proper Superman show that everyone will be happy with. Either way, I'm watching
At least something good is being renewed.
but I don't care about supergirl. I know she's getting the J. but still.
I thought we were done with the romcom and deepest lore power level shit would start.
>I thought we were done with the romcom
jimmy hasn't even fricked siobhan yet
Think Clark would be the overprotective brother if Jimmy dates someone?
Superman is a good guy who just wants to help people, treats them with genuine kindness and then he kisses Lois and flies while smiling. That's the core of Superman.
degenerates
I'm ready for another wave of Lois porn
