I kinda love it. My kids will too.

The best part of this is that it's on HBO Max in addition to CN, so we don't have to play the usual game of "what terrible timeslot will CN shift this to without changing the DVR schedules?"

Superman and Lois will be in their mid 20s on this program before they are married. I'm not sure that's a great age for Superman in media at this point - most of his fans today want a married Superman. Today's Hollywood won't really allow the antics of a single Clark Kent/Superman with Lois around, which leaves an unworkable and unappealing dynamic between Lois and Clark before they are in a relationship.

I really wish the Superman Family cartoon series had been green-lit a few years back. Tell me this doesn't look awesome.

That concept does look awesome.

I'm cool with younger Superman and younger Lois aimed at kids, though. Not sure that's what I would want for a live action movie or anything, but for a kids cartoon, why not? I figure that's the only way we can get him to not be grim and gritty, if we use the excuse that it's for the kids.
