My Adventures with Superman is one of the most brilliant superhero animated series. The Adult Swim series tells the story of Superman aka Clark Kent as he starts his new job at The Daily Planet, with his roommate Jimmy Olson, and his senior intern at The Daily Planet is none other than Lois Lane. They quickly become a team and try to bring in big stories so that they can become real reporters. My Adventures with Superman has great action but the brilliant thing about the series is that it isn’t an action series about Superman, it’s a series about a superhero and his relationships as he figures out who he really is.
