My Adventures with Superman has been making waves since its debut on Adult Swim. As the first season concluded, fans were left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what’s next for the Man of Steel and his companions. Fortunately, a second season has already been confirmed, and if we’re to believe reports, it will be even better than the debut season.
The first season of the animated series ended with a bang after Thanksgiving at the Kent farm turned into a disaster. Clark Kent inadvertently opened a portal, allowing an invasion similar to his nightmares about Zero Day to occur.
You know, usual family Thanksgiving stuff, it’s always a mess. Luckily, with some quick deductive work from Jimmy Olsen, Superman successfully disables the invaders’ mothership and gets back to earth with the help of his father.
In a recent interview, the show’s writer and co-producer, Josephine Campbell, teased greater things for season two, saying:
So, it’s not announced yet. And there’s nothing I can say until it’s announced. So, I was gonna say, the season premiere is coming out. Stay tuned for Season 2. We got the wonderful task of being able to make them both around the same time, and I’m very excited for this. There’s so much stuff in season two that I think is gonna blow people’s minds. So yeah, just stay tuned, keep watching.
We can certainly believe this considering the epic finale that showcased a mysterious figure observing the aftermath of the invasion. This cloaked entity, along with another unidentified character, hints at the arrival of an important figure from Superman’s past.
Anyone who’s familiar with Superman’s lore will quickly work out that the word “kneel” suggests the introduction of General Zod, one of Superman’s most formidable adversaries and a fellow Kryptonian, who acts as the hero’s arch nemesis frequently.
As for the second figure who informs Zod of the rebellious Earth, we now know his identity is Brainiac (voiced by Michael Emerson). While Zod’s military background and conflict with Jor-El and his family are well known, Brainiac’s role remains shrouded in mystery.
This alien artificial intelligence, known for its singular goal of acquiring knowledge and collecting cities or entire civilizations from various planets, has been a long-standing nemesis of Superman. Its collaboration with General Zod suggests an extraordinary threat to Earth, and the relationship dynamics and connection to Krypton’s downfall are aspects that fans will be eager to learn.
Moreover, audiences will be itching to see how Jimmy Olsen’s storyline progresses after he sold his online channel Flamebird to the Daily Planet, making him a millionaire. Comic universes are positively lousy with millionaires who end up putting on a costume, so we’re eager to see how this shakes out.
While details about the second season still remain under wraps, it has been disclosed that it will comprise a total of 10 episodes. At the time of writing, there has been no announcement of an official release date.
