Summary
My Adventures With Supermanwas a huge success, and fans want to know what other heroes might appear in the second season. However, they may be disappointed by the recent news from the show’s producer.
My Adventures WithSupermanseason 1 was riddled with Easter Eggs and references to other DC superheroes. Jimmy Olsen mentions some conspiracy theories while on his first case with Lois and Clark. He talks about his belief that merpeople exist, referencing Aquaman. When Vicki Vale was introduced in episode 8, it was revealed that she “broke the Queen Industries inheritance scandal,” referencing Oliver Queen and Green Arrow. Along with the introduction of Vicki Vale, who is from Gotham, and mentions of the Gotham Gazette, fans hope tosee Superman and Batman team upin season 2.
Josephine Campbell, producer ofMy Adventure With Superman, was interviewed by theSuperman HomepageYouTube channel, where she talked about plans for season 2. The interviewer asked Campbell, “Now, as soon as the word or the title, ‘Gotham Gazette,’ got thrown up, fans online jump straight to, ‘Batman, Batman, Batman.’ As a Superman fan, I’ve got nothing against Batman, but as a Superman fan, please tell me we’re going to be concentrating on Superman in Season 2…” Campbell responded, “Oh yeah.”
Campbell emphasized that although other characters like Vicki Vale will appear and there will be more references to Gotham, the show will still focus on Superman, Lois, and Jimmy. “The whole point of this is, it’s about Superman. It’s about Lois and Jimmy, and the focus is always going to be on them.” Campbell also said she isexcited to see the Batman animated seriesin the works,Batman: Caped Crusader.
This is disappointing news for Batman fans or Justice League fans who want to see Superman interact with other heroes in the universe. However, those fans will have other projects, withBatman: Caped CrusaderandSuperman: Legacyhaving multiple other heroesset to appear.
ForMy Adventures WIth Supermanfans or those who are Superman purists, this decision is definitely for the best. It is fun to make these connections to other heroes to make the world feel bigger, but for a show like this, it is good to focus on the main characters and let Superman stand on his own.
