My Adventures With Superman Debuts a Badass Eye Patch-Wearing Jor-El

In the thrilling series, My Adventures With Superman, an extraordinary turn of events unfolds when Clark Kent finds himself discovering his true heritage while saving his beloved adoptive parents, Ma and Pa Kent.

The captivating storyline delves into uncharted territory as viewers are introduced to a distinct portrayal of Jor-El, Clark's biological father, defying conventional expectations.

In an exclusive video, Ma and Pa Kent dramatically unveil a colossal spacecraft, shedding light on Clark's mysterious arrival on Earth. As the young boy undergoes a scanning process, an enigmatic program activates, summoning a holographic projection that speaks in an alien tongue. Though Clark struggles to comprehend the message, he discerns the hologram introducing himself as Jor-El, the Kryptonian father of Superman. Meanwhile, the massive structure starts to come alive, endangering the lives of Ma and Pa Kent, who find themselves perilously entangled in its intricate mechanisms, teetering on the precipice of a fatal plunge. Swift as a speeding bullet, Clark dons his iconic cape, soaring through the air to save his cherished parents from a catastrophic fate.

Described as a charming romantic comedy/coming-of-age tale inspired by Christopher Reeve's portrayal, My Adventures With Superman follows the journey of Clark Kent as he grapples with his dual identity while pursuing a career as a journalist in the bustling city of Metropolis. As if the challenges of this profession weren't daunting enough, Clark finds himself endeavoring to win the heart of Lois Lane, who is fated to become his one true love. "Set within the bustling environment of the Daily Planet, our characters navigate the relatable experiences and obstacles that arise during their early twenties," shared Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics. "However, this series encompasses more than just a superhero narrative; it is a captivating love story. In our adaptation, Clark is discovering his extraordinary abilities, making it a coming-of-age journey for all of them."

Jack Quaid Is Ready for His Cape

The highly-anticipated animated series features the talents of Jack Quaid as Superman, Alice Lee as Lois Lane, and Jeannie Tirado as Lana Lang. While Quaid brings a wealth of experience in animated series (such as Star Trek: Lower Decks) and the realm of superheroes (seen in The Boys), tackling the role of Superman proved to be a rewarding challenge for him—one he eagerly embraced. "It's definitely a challenge, but more than that, I view it as an incredible opportunity," expressed Quaid. "Being able to explore diverse universes like Star Trek, Superman, and this uniquely twisted world where superheroes exist and are engineered from birth to become superhuman—it's mind-blowing."
