It’s a great time to be a Superman fan! Not only did DC release the first ever look at David Corenswet‘s super-suit for James Gunn‘s upcoming Superman film, but now Adult Swim has offered a lengthy sneak peek at My Adventures with Superman Season 2. The footage we’ve seen for the anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed animated series has teased some grander storylines and a lot more villains, and the new sneak peek certainly lives up to those claims.
The footage begins with the former leader of Task Force X, General Lane (Joel de la Fuente), having a confrontation with Amanda Waller (Debra Wilson), Agent Slade Wilson (Chris Parnell), and an all-new villain for Season 2, the Atomic Skull (who looks almost identical to Blight from Batman Beyond despite being a totally different character). Waller orders Skull to attack Lane, but he’s saved by Superman (Jack Quaid) and Lois (Alice Lee). The wall they crash into only reveals a more horrifying secret.
Right under General Lane’s nose, Amanda Waller has been subjecting innocent civilians to cruel and dangerous experiments. The goal appears to be to turn them into living weapons like Livewire (Zehra Fazal), though its unlikely many of these prisoners will survive the procedures. The heroes are interrupted yet again by Task Force X, and Superman has a daring battle with the powerful Atomic Skull all while General Lane and Lois try to escape with the prisoners.
What Can Fans Expect From ‘My Adventures with Superman’ Season 2?
Season 1 of My Adventures with Superman wisely stayed away from using massively well-known characters from Superman’s pantheon. However, Season 2 is certainly raising the stakes with a larger coterie of supervillains that fans will no doubt recognize. Joining the fray this season are heavy-hitting antagonists such as the brilliant and sadistic Lex Luthor (Max Mittelman), the genocidal alien supercomputer Brainiac (Michael Emerson), and perhaps even an evil Kryptonian or two. Speaking of Kryptonians, fans can also expect the arrival of Superman’s cousin, Kar Zor-El (more commonly known as Supergirl), to make her grand debut in Season 2.
In addition to My Adventures with Superman Season 2, there are plenty of other Superman projects to be excited about in the near future. Chief among them is James Gunn and Peter Safran‘s highly anticipated reboot of the Superman saga, which is set to usher in a brand new cinematic universe of DC storytelling. Many are hoping that the new live-action feature will bring Superman back to his happy and hopeful roots after the often grim and serious iteration that we saw in the now-defunct DCEU. “Happy and hopeful” fit My Adventures with Superman to a tee, so we’ll have to wait and see if the future films will follow suit.
My Adventures with Superman flies onto Adult Swim on May 25th. New episodes will then be available to watch on Max the next day. Check out the sneak peek below:
