New Superman and Batman cartoons Anonymous 05/21/2021 (Fri) 15:52:18 No. 13182
More garbage capeshit coming through. Superman: >HBO Max and Cartoon Network announced today a two- season series order for My Adventures with Superman an all-new kids and family animated series following the action-packed, comedic and romantic adventures of Superman and Lois Lane. >In this serialized coming-of-age story, we follow Clark as he builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis – and perhaps the world. Lois, now growing into a star investigative journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures, taking down bad guys, stumbling over secrets, and discovering what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane. >Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) serves as executive producer. Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus) and Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender) are on board as co-executive producers and Josie Campbell (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) as co-producer. https://archive.is/QN7Hv Batman: >HBO Max and Cartoon Network have greenlit a straight to series order for Batman: Caped Crusader, an all-new animated series and reimagining of the Batman mythology through the visionary lens of executive producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves and produced by Warner Bros. Animation (WBA), Bad Robot Productions and 6th & Idaho. >Executive Producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves said: “We are beyond excited to be working together to bring this character back, to tell engrossing new stories in Gotham City. The series will be thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman’s noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters. We cannot wait to share this new world.” https://archive.is/STrIT
>>36167 >Clark is getting his ass handed to him >And, he levels up, again >Look at all the destruction he "caused" >Parastye goes nuts and almost kills him >And, he's captured >To Be Continued... Overall, I give this episode a Didn't we already do this in another show?/10 Pretty average episode, and nothing you haven't already seen before.
>>36164 >>36166 >>36167 >>36168 Actually, just remembered, this is ONE plot hole in that Clark being captured hinges entirely on the fact that he has his superhearing ability (Which he just gained in this very episode). Without it, he wouldn't have find out that the ginger had "escaped", and took the bait in the first place.

>>36163 It's almost like the comparison doesn't actually work one to one.
Episode nine, in the final third of the show: >Lois, Jiggy, and the kids are looking for Supes after the fight >The General is torturing Clark asking him then the "invasion" is >Says that Clark was there as well >Shows the invasion in a holodeck where a Kryptonian opened a wormhole to invade Earth until a massive explosion (I assume Krypton exploding) occurred, closing the portal, and shutting down all of the weapons To be fair, I do remember this being an actual plot point from the live-action Superman show from the 50's. Where Krypton was dying, so their government decided to invade and conquer Earth as a new home, but Clark ended up being the only survivor when his parents sent him away.
>>36267 >Clark's crying convinces the General that he genuinely doesn't know what happened. >Lois regrets being such a bitch to Clark >Livewire learns that he retains her powers without her suit >The General thinks that they made a mistake, Waller declares they haven't made a mistake and guilts him over them two being the only survivors >Clark reminds the general of Lois for some reason >Waller turns off the cameras, all prisoners escape and begin trashing the facility
>>36269 >One of the kids finds Clark crawling out of the sewer and hides for Lois and Jiggy to find >Clark declares that he's a weapon >Parasyte grows huge and begins trashing the city >Clark declares that he's going to try to end the destruction being caused by the Kryptonian weapons >He's defeated easily >Jiggy and Lois go live on his stream account to ask people to help Supes by turning off their electricity
>>36270 >It works, BUT THAT ISN'T POWER GRIDS HOW IT WORKS! >Clark gains his second win >Ivo goes nuts and blames Clark for his actions >Clark levels up again and gets his X-ray vision >Yanks Ivo out of the suit >Clark and Lois kiss after celebrating >Jiggy finds the Superman X file Lois had in her bag >Waller replaces the general as being in charge of Task Force X >Tasks him with personally killing Clark Overall I give this episode a Weak as fuck climax/10 Double so for this episode, like last week's, it feels like half of was already done with another show, and done better there. And, next week is the conclusion of season one.

either they took something out of this scene or there's an obvious continuity issue at the end.
>>36272 This entire episode felt off.
And, now for the conclusion of season one: >Clark having a nightmare about the invasion the general showed >Runs to the ship and tells the AI of his father to fuck off >It's Thanksgiving >Parasite empty suit is still standing in the city >Jiggy and Lois are hiding the Superman X file from Clark and stressing over it >All three of them failed forward to now being real reporters as a result of the previous episode >Lois and her dad are spending the holiday with Clark and his family >Surprise, Lois' dad is the guy who's been trying to kill Clark >This isn't awkward at all
>>36431 >Jiggy pulls Clark and Lois aside to tell them to confront the issue head-on >Clark finally sees the Superman X file >The file releases the Kryptonite shard, and Clark has a seizure >Brainiac awakens >The ship starts rising out of the ground
>>36432 >Ship starts sending out robots >For some reason, the shard causes the robots to explode(?) >Lois confronts her dad about what he's been doing >The ships re-opens the womrhole >Clark's plan is to sacrifice himself by taking the shard and using it to destroy the ship and stop the invasion
>>36433 >Ghost dad AI ghosts his way through the robots and disables them >Clark disables the ship and the wormhole is closed >Awakens inside of the Animus >Ghost dad AI saves Clark and jettisons him from the ship
>>36435 >Clark hits the ground >The general almost pulls the trigger until Lois gets in the way >"I don't need you to protect me, dad!" <Can you spot the background difference? >The general calls off the report and ghosts away >Jigger sold his social media profile to the paper for $5 million >Brainiac reports to Zod about the failed invasion of Earth, meanwhile their invading another planet Overall I give this episode a Okay, that happened/10 And, as for the overall show, itself, I give it a I wasted two months watching this shit/10. To be quite honest, it's not as bad as I was expecting, but that isn't really giving the show much praise as the show was just a weak soap opera from start to finish. Pretty much on par with what I remember of watching the live-action Arrowverse shows (And, only watched the first few seasons of those). As far as any of the episodes that stood out to me of being decent, I can only really point to episode 3 (Silver Banshee), 4 (Parasyte), 7 (Mr. Mxyzptlk), and 8 (Task Force X), with the former two being the best of those as they felt like the show had potential of being a campy entertaining Superman cartoon. Episode seven is what I would file under as being a guilt pleasure, and shining part of episode eight was seeing Clark standing off against the Suicide Squad. As far as what I can point to as being the most consistent and weakest aspects of the cartoon (Aside from all of the animation errors), it has to due with it being designed around arcs so there's constant story bait that's never actually resolved, Lois being the real protagonist but never actually homing in on how that would work out, Clark is actually quite feminine in how he acts outside of fights, the obvious appeals to include diversity in order for WB to receive those ESG bucks, and all of the references to other capeshit and anime that were better and that you should be watching instead. With that out of the way, what was the actual strengths of show? Well, it got back to the show being about Clark Kent instead of Superman, Lois acting girly, and...that's honestly it. There's not much else that I can actually praise the show about that I haven't already mentioned. If I was to compare this with other Western cartoons that I've watched, I'd probably place this show as being lower than Alienators: Evolution Continues (>>>/co/5165). If I was to compare this with the anime that I've watched, since this show is trying to be pseudo-anime, I'd say that it's on par with Super Dimension Century Orguss (https://archive.ph/EAtrt#954593). Being brutally honest, My Adventures with Superman feels like it exists to finish an obligation or fill a void in the schedule. It's just there with no real hooks to keep people coming. Even the meme of Tomboy Lois seemed to have run it's course after the first three weeks. And, I do not see myself returning to be a subject for Season Two (Which was already in production before the first episode even aired). If any of the people who made/produced this show are on this site and reading these posts, best thing I can advise would be to do two things. First, don't make anymore capeshit. People are tired of it, and have only come back to watch select works just to see the "end" of it. It's pretty much how I view GotG3, as it resolves the one and only loose end left after Avengers: Endgame. If you're trying get people to "return" or engage with a "reinterpretation" of some capeshit characters, the honest fact of the matter is that no one cares at this point. If they left already, you're never going to get them back. Which leads me to the second point, that you people need to stop turning every single story into a soap opera. Stop making shows so much about petty family/friend drama. I already get enough of that living my own life, I don't need to see it being played out for entertainment. Many people watch movies and shows for escape, not to be lectured about how much life sucks, nor live out a life through fictional characters. Stop trying to make characters who are "Just like me" and go back to making characters who are their own character. With their own goals, ambitions, hobbies, etc. Those stories are far more interesting than the 500,000th story about a young adult hiding a secret from his friends and suffering from relationship issues.
>>36436 Thanks for watching it for us. I was mildly intrigued despite the altered character designs but reading your posts has made me completely uninterested in it. Shame, the art style is nice for the anime-esque stuff that's been releasing more as of late.
>>36437 It's literally korean made bootleg anime.

Confirming what we knew all along. Lois looks that way specifically because the current state of the animation industry is a incestuous cesspit of nepotism. All these shitty showrunners know each other & work with the same cheap korean studios. https://thedirect.com/article/my-adventures-with-superman-lois-lane-fans
>>36165 Luz Lane ruined a whole generation of waifus? Or a whole generation of Time Warner cartoons? >>36438 It's like the half talented artists from Nickelodeon's Avatar got hired to sterilize any popular IP just to appease the Tumblr crowd, but the most scandalous thing about this Nu-Superman is that they got a lewd artist enslaved under a contract and those rule34 spergs are, if not, worse than Chris Chan.
>>36545 >the current state of the animation industry is a incestuous cesspit of nepotism. All these shitty showrunners know each other & work with the same cheap korean studios. To be quite honest, that's always gone on. Science fiction took the direction it did in America because, since the 30's, every publishing house was infiltrated and kicked out everyone with a viewpoint right of Stalin, and then proceeded to only produce and release stories written by their small group of friends. In fact, one such company had the entire staff literally all living in the same apartment building in New York.
>>36547 Why are porn addict lewd faggots so autistic? Back when the 2000s we had no tolerence for that autistic crap who wants to fuck shitty Nintendo shit.
Nice Bait
>>36580 You're a liar & a moron. Porn has always existed in the animation world. Both western & eastern. The godfather of anime, Osamu Tezuka, literally had his own stashed away drawings of sexy mouse & snake girls. Then there's the infamous Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes animations in Cross Country Detours. Or hell just Tom & Jerry where they'd draw sexy cat girls. And that's just the furry side of it all.

>>13186 >Why do they keep making Jimmy a nigger? The (((usual))) reason. Phase out redheads entirely while training blonde women to have a black fetish and training blacks to have a blonde fetish. Soon they will have nothing but octaroons to rule over.
>>36547 Not Lois, the 2 shitskins in the first image Look at that fucking hair
>>36581 That was niche or non-public, and the infamous Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes were infamous for a reason.
>>36609 Irrelevant.
Did woke western artists try to copy this "cute" asian design? Even the absolute faggots like Supergay and Wiccan look more manly than the average japanese male character
>>36640 >w-well at least they look manlier than anime characters. no they don't, don't kid yourself
>>36641 But current western artist try to copy anime aesthetic in comics?
>>36642 Yes and?
>>36643 Just asking
>>36647 Many are, even in the 90s you a had plenty who were inspired by stuff like Capcom. It"s just rather non-sequitar in response to my post.
>>36648 Oddly enough it comes in waves with the last wave before now being around the early 2000s.
>>36545 AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH What I really pity is the gooks that have to animate this fucking garbage.

>>36778 They're better off drawing at porn. Looks like everyone missed the point of "X COMPANY HIRE THIS MAN"
>>36640 Yes, not very well. They've been doing it for a while now, but its always inferior to the original. Ironic since easterners copied the west, and while there's many shit looking animus and mangos there's also many good looking ones, now the west is doing the same thing in reverse but thanks to soy it fails miserably. The worst part of MAWS' art direction is the tech. which somehow manages to be simultaneously over and under designed. TLDR Jimmy is an eternal nigger and slade is gayed.
