"He would have told me not to do this. My father wasn't a perfect man, but I don't think he would've wanted revenge. He would have said, "Tim, justice is sweeter than revenge." And I know he would have been right. So then... why am I trying to kill Captain Boomerang?"
Red Robin. "What Goes Around."

If My Adventures With Superman does introduce any other superheroes, I think it would be cool if they used other heroes who reside in Metropolis rather then just jumping to Batman. Most adoptions of Superman tend to showcase Superman as the lone defender of Metropolis when that isn't the case at all since it's the home of several other heroes such as Steel, Black Lightning, Guardian, Gangbuster, and more.

Jerome Peregrine White
Jerome Peregrine White was the eldest son of Perry & Alice White.
His father was often absent due to Perry’s dedication to his career. Alice was a soft & constant presence. At times, the small family struggled financially. There have also been moments where Alice had to wake little Jerry up in the dead of night to go to a relative’s house until her husband called to say it was safe.
The situation at home gradually improved as Perry rose up the ranks of the Daily Star, eventually becoming editor-in-chief of the newly named Daily Planet. By that time, the couple had two more sons, Richard & Hank.
At that point, Jerry was going through a rebellious phase; unhappy with his father’s preoccupation with his job. He would often go to clubs in a bad part of the city. This worried his mother but attempts by either herself or Perry were met with anger.
Then one day, something truly terrible happened. Jerry was kidnapped. Kidnapped by gang members, they threatened Perry that if he didn’t retract an article he wrote of a crime lord posing as a Suicide Slums landlord they would kill Jerry.
In minutes, the gang was attacked by another. Jerry managed to get away in the confusion. Scared, he returned home to his tearful parents.
Later, he woke up & went downstairs. Unsurprisingly, his father was still up & on the phone. What was a surprise was what Perry White snarled into the phone.
That was the night Jerry White found out his father wasn’t his father. His real father, the infamous Lionel Luthor, was in control of the gang who had actually rescued him.
The young man became even more withdrawn, his anger that he used as a shield now replaced by a sorrowful aura. His parents assumed it was trauma due to the kidnapping.
Jerry questioned his identity & felt lost. One day, as he was brooding, he saw something familiar. A couple of men were driving a truck labeled for a fertilizer company. Jerry recognized those men as belonging to Lionel’s gang.
Jerry discreetly followed the truck on his bike. The truck stopped at a warehouse where men started unloading.
While Jerry observed, one of the bags fell. Guns spilled out. The young man felt sick.
Then, chaos occurred. A hooded man got the jump on the gang and started beating them up.
At first, it looked like he was winning but then reinforcements showed up. Seeing the man outnumbered, Jerry raced in on his bike. Managing to knock over several enemies, the young man with the black helmet yelled for the others to get on.
After a race through the Suicide Slums & other areas, the two managed to lose their pursuers.
Later, the vigilante those of the slums called Gangbuster introduced himself. Jose Delgado would become a mentor and second father to Jerry White.
With a new purpose, Jerry & Jose investigated Intergang, deterring them as best they could. The younger of the two realized they would need more help.
Jerry’s biker gang started small but it grew bigger as the investigations drew deeper into the criminal underbelly. Particularly when they finally came into contact with Cadmus and their inhuman experiments on people.
Members included Yango “Wild”, Jude “Hippie”, & Lucy “Diamond”. There were also auxiliary members.
Their go-to mechanic: owner of Lexor, Lex Jerome Luthor aka “Atom”.
Needless to say, it was awkward between the two brothers. But they soon became very close.
Enough so that Mockingbird and his lover, Clark “Ace”, sometimes help out on missions.
Clark’s nickname should have been “Oscar” or “Chameleon” given how scarily good he is at acting and infiltrating places.
But then, one day, Jerry “Cobra” White met his match.
Investigating rumors of drugs and human trafficking, Jerry went undercover at the nightclub, Blaze’s.
What should have been routine, business as usual, ended with the funeral of Jerome Peregrine White.
Over a decade later, Metropolis saw the rise of the mysterious Spencer Blaze. Owning several nightclubs and strip joints, Mr. Blaze’s establishments catered to every level of Metropolis. There were even rumors that several of his businesses were actually covers for services of the more carnal variety.
The more magically inclined denizens of Metropolis and the world, however, knew of the upstart demon lord who managed to supplant an ancient demoness. His army of lesser demons and connections with both the mortal & supernatural worlds made him a dangerous foe and valuable ally.
Few knew which side they fell. Of those few, they strongly suspected which side depended entirely on Blaze’s whims.

Earth 3 Gangbusters
Tumblr media
The Centropolis Special Crimes Unit headed by Bruno Mannheim and his fellow officers are colloquially called the Gangbuster. In any other city that would be a complement, but in a city were ever other thung is on the Crime Syndicate's pay roll and packing powers it means there a glorified clean up crew.
Ultraman hasn't killed Bruno Mannheim yet witch he takes to mean that he doesn't consider them a threat. In actuality Ultraman is try out enjoying his enemies for longer like how Owlman has his own toybox of heroes he keeps in Arkham.
The entire department is working overtime to try to deal with a rise in crime that all seems to point to Gang Warrior Aka Jose Delgado setting up a permanent residence. He specialises in inciting gang wars for the the Crime Syndicate to weed out the weak and set up concessions with the survivors. This is Ultraman's town and everybody knows it, so why inbetween surfing crime waves has he decided to make Bruno Mannheim department lifes a living hell.

Does any form of the Gangbuster have a meaningful place in the Superman mythos now?
Saw speculation that maybe the cop in that Campbell spread for Williamson's Superman was Gangbuster, and I'm sorry to report that isn't the case, he's a new character. I would have been happy if that were true, it's frustrating to me that the Super Mythos lacks an important Latin member. For Gangbuster maybe you could have him be involved in city politics in his civilian identity? Metropolis' city politics is a woefully underdeveloped area, I'd love to see Gangbuster or another Latin character be the "in" for Superman to get involved with that kind of storytelling. As for his heroic identity, I don't see any reason why he can't keep on being a hero, Superman can't do everything.
