My Adventures With Supermanearned a renewal earlier this year before the finale was even in sight, attesting to the widespread love the latest animated take on the Man of Steel has received throughits first two-season order. The coming-of-age story centers on Clark and his friends as he gets to grips with his powers and identity as Superman while still breaking stories as a reporter for the Daily Planet. Throughout the series, he confronts his mysterious origins while becoming the hero Metropolis needs, together with the Planet’s rising star/his new girlfriend Lois Lane, and photographer Jimmy Olsen. Season 2 tested the trioagainst mounting threatsfrom Amanda Waller (Debra Wilson), Lex Luthor (Max Mittelman), anda much more vicious take on Kara Zor-El (Kiana Madeira).
The recent finale laid the groundwork for Season 3, as Kara has officially taken up the mantle of Supergirl after finally defeating Brainiac (Michael Emerson). She’s now set to play an even bigger role as a defender of Earth in future episodes as she looks to redeem herself for the atrocities she committed under the villain’s manipulation while also pursuing a relationship with Jimmy. As a new hero is established, however, Superman’s archenemy, Lex Luthor,is growing in power as he officially establishes LexCorp’s headquarters. With Waller on the run from the law, he was also able to recruit a new right-hand man in Slade Wilson (Chris Parnell), aka Deathstroke, further setting Lex up as the main villain going forward. However, things could get interestingwith the arrival of Superboy, as the cast and crew further confirmed his presence at the panel.
