My Adventures with Superman |
Sock it to the Man of Steel! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 15!
Our Top Pick tonight is My Adventures with Superman (Adult Swim, midnight / Max, Sunday). This animated take on Clark / Superman puts him new to Metropolis and trying to prove himself at The Daily Planet. During season 1, he first puts on the Superman suit and fights some bad guys (Lex Luthor is new to the scene), but he is also still learning of his superpowers, alien origins, and a lost cousin. It is more told from Lois' POV, who is currently competing with Vicki Vale for scoops. I find the show a lot of fun, but don't watch it for any sort of realistic take on 21st century journalism.
Elsewhere, Gina Prince-Bythewood picks Two, teams still fight for Stanley, Trixie has a birthday, Hulu Kissed a Boy, Naruto gets to Fushu Castle, and Kaitlin Armstrong gets Lifetime movie treatment.
