Shocking for adult swim.

Okay so watched the two premire episode of this expecting the worst since it's on adult swim but wow oh wow from the two epidode premiere this is perfectly fine Besides expected violence. For ten and over I loved the show and have a semi crush on this Louis lane. I adore her Spunk. I highly recommend it please parents watch with kids though just incase I missed something

The episodes are short and enjoyable. There is 2 episodes so far that pose questionable. One is where 2 male voiced characters one an ape one a robot state that they want to be together and love each other the other is where Lois from another usinverse is depicted as feminine but gets called "He" and has the name Lewis. These are the 2 things I have seen so far in the 8 episodes I have watched. The show is enjoyable and if you are happy to navigate these 2 things then happy viewing.

What's the Story?

A young, eager Clark Kent is ready to start his life as an intern at the Daily Planet along with his best friend and roommate Jimmy Olsen. But he's got a lot more to manage than getting scoops and citing sources -- Kent leads a double life as Metropolis's local superhero, Superman. With evil forces gaining strength and giant robots on the loose, plus a budding romance with coworker Lois Lane, this regular guy has his work cut out for him.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (3 ):
Kids say (3 ):

This lively, anime-inspired animated series is a lighthearted and fun fresh start for the classic superhero. Jack Quaid (who also expertly voices the lead on Star Trek: Lower Decks) brings a goofy vulnerability and sweetness to this Superman -- he's the kind of guy to bring a box of donuts to the office and trip on his way in. The action starts quickly, and kids who aren't quite ready for serious superhero movies will be thrilled with the battles and challenges the crew must face.
