My Adventures With Superman Season 3 Takes Flight With First Look Trailer Ahead of Adult Swim Return

Adult Swim dropped the first trailer for My Adventures with Superman Season 3, and yes, the show is back next month. The anime- leaning take on Clark, Lois, and Jimmy has quietly been one of DC 's most dependable wins since it launched three years ago, and the new season is swinging for a classic: Reign of the Supermen. Expect familiar ideas, but very much this series' own spin.

Season 3 essentials

• Premiere: Saturday, June 13 at midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim (part of the Toonami block); streaming on HBO Max the next day
• Arc: Reign of the Supermen, reimagined through the show's lens
• Returning cast: Jack Quaid (Clark Kent/Superman), Alice Lee (Lois Lane), Ishmel Sahid (Jimmy Olsen)
• Also back: Kiana Madeira as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, now fully part of the core group
• New voice: Darren Criss is playing Superboy (fun twist: he previously voiced Superman in the animated film Superman: Man of Tomorrow)
• New threat: a version of Cyborg Superman enters the mix, with more fresh faces likely
• Trailer: out now via Adult Swim

So what is Season 3 actually doing?

Adult Swim's synopsis paints a very specific picture of where everyone is at: Clark has embraced being Superman and made peace with his Kryptonian side. He is, hilariously, ready to settle down. Lois, meanwhile, is not in wind-down mode at all; she has finally become the Daily Planet's star reporter and is charging ahead. Jimmy's glow-up is real too: from freelance shooter to celebrity journalist. He is just a little overwhelmed that Kara Zor-El is openly flirting with him while she tries to figure out how to live on Earth.

"Can our heroes save their tomorrow-before it destroys today?"

That tagline sits on a season promising bigger enemies, higher stakes, and a stress test for the trio's found-family bond. Given how many villains and curveballs the show has already plowed through, it sounds like they are escalating across the board.

About that Reign of the Supermen angle

Adapting that storyline is a bold choice, especially for a series that has never done 1:1 copies of the comics. The trailer teases new players stepping into Metropolis, including a cyborg counterpart to Clark and a brand-new Superboy voiced by Darren Criss. It is a neat bit of casting trivia that he once played Superman himself and is now the kid in the S-shield. The show has made a habit of remixing DC lore without breaking its own tone, so expect reinterpretations rather than straight lifts.

The midnight Toonami slot feels right for this one: action, comedy, romance, and at least one identity crisis per episode. June 13 is not far off.
