James Gunn has been rather adamant he wants a clean slate on all sides when Superman Legacy hits theaters. Even animation will tie into that with Creature Commandos. The Batman gets a pass as an Elseworlds because of how much money it made, and because Robert Pattison was a pretty damn good Batman.

This show was commissioned and green lit before James Gunn took over the DC Cinematic Universe, and he has made it clear he wants to throw everything out and start over, starting with a new Superman film called Superman: Legacy. And James Gunn announced he wants the animated productions to be in continuity with the films, with the first big animated series being Creature Commandos.

I Guess we'll have to wait a long ass time for the next superman animated series then....took way too long to get one after Superman TAS Edited July 9, 2023 by CountFrylock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of that what you will. I don't think Gunn is going to care enough to stop this. But it certainly would be more interesting if the 2nd season was more "adult", maybe to somehow answer that burning question from Mallrats... Of course, how old is this Lois? 16? 17? We would need a 5-year timeskip first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus27k Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 My Adventures with Superman has some "word of mouth" attention going on. I see people bringing it up on social media when we're talking about unrelated things. I kind of like where it's going. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) If Zack Snyder is that fan of shounen and seinen anime who loves the violence (and he kind of is, by his own admission he directly referenced Birdy the Mighty Decode for the final battle in Man of Steel and has repeatedly said he would be down for directing a Dragonball movie) then My Adventures with Superman are fangirls who are more interested in shipping and find the male gaze offensive while having no issue with showing off the himbo stereotype. This is Clark dealing with lower stakes but still notable adventures while mostly focusing on the human element, while someone more in Snyder's wheelhouse would be more about the big fights. It's telling that the show starts with two scenes deliberately designed to thumb their noses at Man of Steel, young Clark saving a car from crashing (which Kevin Costner famously said was a bad thing) and getting a cat out of a tree, the textbook insult Snyder fans throw at a “pussy Superman”. This show brings the Newsboy Legion (and makes some of them girls because Current Year) while Snyder or someone with a similar mindset would have bought in Conduit or Codename: Assassin (the guy who killed the Newsboy Legion in the comics). Also, it's Adult Swim. Get these people real guns. Even STAS used real guns, and when lasers were around they were specifically noted as being prototypes or specialty weapons.

The one bit of damage we saw these lasers do, wielded by the robots, was more than any gun could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 One last, super ultra nit picky point of contention. They’re doing an anime ED, but with generic music. You’re Warner. You can spring for a song that fits better. Hell that one’s OWNED by Warner Music Group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velma wouldn’t have justified a second season otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Yeah, I think we're talking 20 episodes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otakuninja9000 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Okay, even through Gunn says he wants everything gone, MAWS is a great show, and the show trending is totally understandable. They got a hit on their hands. I'll tuning in every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otakuninja9000 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Also, remember, WB doesn't wanna pay for stuff like that, and WMG isn't even in the same corporate umbrella anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally or not, every major animated Superman series starts with him fighting robots. The Fleschier shorts have the Mechanical Monsters, the Ruby Spears series’ first episode is him fighting Lex Luthor’s vigilante robots, the Defendroids, and STAS’s pilot movie has Malcom McDowell steal a robotic powered armor and use it to fight Superman. Funny little legacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Robots are arguably the best first opponent for the man of steel to show just how strong he is when he doesn’t pull his punches or doesn’t yet have the best control of his powers. Plus I’m sure it’s fun to design them and then have them torn apart or blown up. So far this is a fun show. It’s good to know it won’t end at 10 episodes but prospects for it getting more than 20-26 aren’t great at WBD unless it does surprisingly well. And since the 2nd batch is already being animated, there’s no reason to expect the show will be adjusted to better fit Adult Swim. But hey at least they aren’t omitting the words “kill” or “die” even if they aren’t using guns with bullets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
