Some cool Easter eggs I caught watching My Adventures with Superman that I want to show to people so they can be in on it with comic book readers pt2

Episode 1 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 3 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 4 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 5 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 6 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 7 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here and here

Episode 8 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 9 of My Adventure with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

Episode 10 of My Adventures with Superman Easter Eggs and references is here

(SPOILERS obviously):

An obvious one, but a classic, the "up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" line reference. This one never gets old.

Jimmy next name drops Flamebird. in the comics Nightwing and Flamebird were Kryptonian superheroes adopting their names from a species of Kryptonian birds. This is where Dick Grayson gets his Nightwing identity from. The page here is from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #17 (1986) drawn by Curt Swan and Karl Kesel.

At the climatic battle of part 2 of Adventures of a Normal Man, we see Leslie Willis become blue and look more like her traditional Livewire look. Her first appearance was in Superman the Animated Series, season 2 episode 5 "Livewire" where she was voiced by Lori Petty, a.k.a. Tank Girl. In the show Leslie was a shock jock radio DJ slinging hot takes live on air knocking down Superman a peg or two

Obviously MAwS took Leslie in a whole different direction, design choice, and occupation change, but I am excited to see what happens next for her.

Before we see Clark battle Leslie we see this guy. White hair, wears orange and black, its Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke. This fool here in like 20 to 25 years will have his life spiral out of control and get his ass kicked by a bunch of colorfully dressed teenagers.

Deathstroke makes his first appearance in New Teen Titans #2 (1980) (W: Marv Wolfman and George Perez, P: George Perez, I: Romeo Tanghal, C: Adrienne Roy, L: Ben Oda) where he is hired by H.I.V.E. to kill the Teen Titans. In the comics he's a major piece of shit, but a damn good assassin.

After the fight we see Supes clean up and he picks up a billboard that reads Amazotech.

This is a good reference to Professor Anthony Ivo, a mad scientist of the DC Universe who built the Amazo robot who could adapt and replicate any power that the Justice League has and weaknesses. Both Ivo and the Amazo robot make their first appearances here in Brave and the Bold #30 (1960) with the cover art done by Mike Sekowsky and Murphy Anderson.

At the end of the episode Slade name drops Task Force X better known as the Suicide Squad. The name "Suicide Squad" is from the Brave and the Bold #25 where it was the name of Rick Flag's unit in the military. The Suicide Squad pop culture knows first debuted in Legends #3 (1987) as seen below (W: John Ostrander and Len Wein, P: John Byrne, I: Karl Kesel, C: Tom Ziuko, L: Steve Haynie).

The team at this time was composed of Rick Flag, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Enchantress, and Blockbuster. The team members have changed out with each new Task Force X/Suicide Squad iteration.

Behind Slade, here is Amanda Waller, the most fearsome woman in the DC universe. She's ruthless, politically powerful, and will not hesitate to blow up anyone in the Suicide Squad if they screw up. She makes her first appearance in Legends #1 (1987) same comic series in the previous picture. Very excited to see where My Adventures with Superman goes with this cuz you don't see Superman interact with Deathstroke or Suicide Squad all the often.

Let’s try this again :)

My last poll wasn’t organized as well as it should have been. I got lazy and condensed way too many possibilities into the “Other” option. I know the primary reason why people voted that way but it still felt too chaotic. I tried to be more thorough this time around but I’m still sorry to the rarepairs I couldn’t include in a 12-answer max poll. I saw a handful of people mention some poly ships but unfortunately, I couldn’t include them either for the same reason. Similarly, I also eliminated the “show me the results” option. You want to see the results, you gotta vote lol.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT: Cat Grant isn’t included because I already know that she’s the second most popular Kara ship. I knew that even before my last attempt at a poll and probably shouldn’t have included her then, even as an “Other” option. No hate to the people who like that ship, I’m just more interested in seeing people’s preferences beyond that.

Okay, I wanted to like the new Superman cartoon, but this is really annoying to me:

This is Leslie Willis AKA Livewire.

And I just...

They completely missed the point of Livewire.

Leslie Willis was originally a controversial shock jock who would parrot hate-speech and spread misinformation on her show because it got her the most views. This was to contrast her with Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s more respectable journalism, and to illustrate what she really is–a massive attention whore.

That’s really why she became a villain in the first place–it got her way more notoriety than her previous career.

This is way more topical than it was in the 90s.

Making her a run-of-the-mill gangster/mercenary strips her of what makes Livewire a compelling villain for Superman, and a compelling villain in real life–she’s a person who genuinely does not care who she’s hurting as long as she gets the attention she thinks she’s entitled to.

They could’ve easily made her right-wing podcaster like Candice Owens, or Joe Rogan, or Ben Shapiro, or literally any of the misinformation attention whores we’re currently suffering under.

I know people are upset that they made Deathstroke look like he’s 20 years old, but if you ask me there’s way more mileage in the Livewire controversy because this Deathstroke is still fundamentally the same character.

You can’t say the same for Livewire.

Observations watching My Adventures with Superman Episode 1

- Jack Quaid may be one of my favorite Superman voice actors?! Like so far?!? He embues Clark with a lot of awkward nerd energy I really like, he comes across as very sincere and kind in a way that fits this version. I’ll need to see Clark wear the suit but he has my hopes up. Who knew the way to make Superman appeal to audiences was to make him a kissable nerd?

-Him working at a donut shop and eating three large packages of donuts is friggin’ hilarious. Why be embarrassed, Clark? Lois seems into it.

- I like Lois and Jimmy in this too. Lois’ a go-getter and fun, we’re starting her off as an intern so we can see she eagerly wants to prove herself but also has room to grow. I like that she learns a lesson on keeping her “team” on the know when she risks their careers chasing a story Perry told her not to do. Same things to be said with Jimmy, who’s turn as a conspiracy nut adds plenty of personality to him- that being said, I hope he gets more depths later. Glad to see that him and Clark are roommates in this continuity!

- The animation is pretty nice for the most part. Colorful, flows well, definitely appreciate the anime aesthetic they’re going with. Only thing i don’t like was the CGI robots.

- Did not expect Livewire to be a mercenary so divorced from her origins like this. She plays her role well, but I do find it a peculiar change. Then again, given the previews they’re aiming to have more high tech villains to start with so maybe they felt this was the best way of putting her in there.

- Perry’s fun, but I hope the NEWSKID LEGION stick around. Those kids are such scamps and it’s fun to see Lois try to argue with Flip for the news source.

- While it’s nice to see Clark and Lois have chemistry this early on, I do think maybe the ship tease was a bit much to start with. They just met, just because they’re destined to be together doesn’t mean you should skip out on developing it a bit.

- Superman’s symbol appeared over Clark as he was pushing himself. I think the suit is going to be some sort of hard light projection Clark has to concentrate on making in this version, which I’m okay with.

-The episode is super delightful. I had a smile on my face watching it the whole time, I can’t wait to see more!

Def worth the recommendation, it’s the beginning of a fun series!
