Loved the chemistry between Lois and Clark, who are clearly attracted to each other from the start. What I also liked is that she played as big a part in winning the fight against the giant robots as Clark himself. Jimmy was a bit of a third wheel but he was just as obnoxious as the original version. Which is great. Can&#8217;t have a Jimmy Olsen not be annoying.\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pictures\/wissewords\/My Adventures With Superman - 01.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Clark catches Lois when she falls down\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nThere are tons of little homages and references hidden in this. Lois has a Vicki Vale article up on her bedroom wall. The Newsboys Legion reference. Having Superman fight actual giant robots, like in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Mechanical_Monsters\">the Fleischer cartoons<\/a>. That &#8220;who are you&#8221; at the end from Lois, surely a reference to the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. This seems to be a series that knows its history. Art and animation wise it&#8217;s all good. The action scenes all popped and the character designs are nicely streamlined. A good start and I hope <cite>My Adventures With Superman<\/cite> can keep it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is honestly the best Superman I&#8217;ve seen in years if not decades.
