As the opening episode introduced us to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), the second-half of the premiere of My Adventures with Superman focuses on delivering us Superman. With a definite anime-styling, we see both young Clark and older Clark confront the buried alien ship that brought him Earth. While he abandoned a search for answers as a child, now his need to understand who he is forces him into the ship allowing him to unlock a costume obviously designed from the character’s New 52 run which Martha Kent (Kari Wahlgren) makes some immediate necessary aesthetic changes to before allowing her son out in the world.

The first episode of My Adventures with Superman introduces us to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), Lois Lane (Alice Lee), Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid), and Perry White (Darrell Brown). After a short intro with young Clark discovering his powers in Smallville, we move forward several years to Metropolis and Clark and Jimmy’s first day as interns at The Daily Planet where they meet Lois and quickly get pulled into her search for a big story involving stolen robots. While we don’t get Superman in costume here, we do get Clark defending Lois and Jimmy in a hoodie in the episode’s big action sequence against a series of killer robots, and Lois coining the moniker which he will eventually accept.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1 launches a new anthology series showcasing Batman and other DC Heroes. However, rather than getting new short stories every week, the concept instead looks to provide separate stories spanning multiple issues, that shouldn’t get confusing. The notable story here is the first part of “Batman: The Winning Card” which attempts to provide the first Batman/Joker story in a Year One adventure of the Batman. Although it eventually provides a memorable creepy moment when the Joker shows up, the story has a few too many parts for its limited page count and is completely disjointed with threads that don’t initially feel connected.
