DC Studios Holds Key to My Adventures with Superman Season 4
My Adventures with Superman fans, buckle up. Despite rave reviews and solid performance, a potential fourth season is far from guaranteed. Cartoon Network, Adult Swim & Boomerang President Michael Ouweleen recently confirmed the series's future hangs in the balance, awaiting a green light from DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Ouweleen, speaking at Annecy International Animation Film Festival, revealed the show predates Gunn and Safran's arrival at DC. They initially approved its continuation, reportedly giving it a "This is fine. Keep going" nod. However, their new leadership dictates a wait-and-see approach. "We're letting them kind of drive DC," Ouweleen stated. He praised the series's creators, noting its strong performance and popularity on streaming. Adult Swim championed the show, seeing it as a perfect fit for their Toonami audience — a mission accomplished for them.
The news lands as the beloved animated series continues its third season, which sees Clark fully embracing Superman, Lois becoming a star reporter, and Jimmy navigating life as a celebrity journalist alongside Kara Zor-El. Showrunners Jake Wyatt and Brendan Clogher have consistently delivered a fresh, dynamic take on the iconic trio, making this uncertainty a tough pill to swallow for many.
