DC fan and artist Javier Sanchez has imagined what a meeting between the World’s Finest would look like in My Adventures with Superman.
Shared on Instagram, the fan art shows Batman standing beside Superman. “Draw over/ edit of what if Batman showed up in ‘My Adventures with Superman’?” Sanchez captioned the post, explaining that he has merely redrawn the Man of Steel as the Dark Knight. The finished result is impressive and literally helps paint the picture of what Gotham City’s vigilante might look like if he did appear in My Adventures of Superman.
Developed by Wyatt and produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios, My Adventures with Superman is a serialized coming-of-age story starring Jack Quaid as a twenty-something Clark Kent, who along with the bright and driven Lois Lane (Alice Lee), and their best friend Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid), “begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative reporting team at the Daily Planet,” reads the official synopsis.
My Adventures with Superman Reimagines Popular DC Characters
My Adventures With Superman has been praised and criticized by the DC fandom for its changes to the Man of Steel mythos, which includes reimagining iconic DC villains like Mr. Mxyzptlk, Deathstroke, Livewire, Rough House and Heat Wave. Showrunner Jake Wyatt has revealed that DC has been very supportive of the changes, allowing the creatives to carve their own vision for My Adventures with Superman. “I’ve been pleased that the new regime has been very supportive. They showed [DC Studios head] James [Gunn] the opening main titles and he really liked it,” Wyatt said. “So we’ve been allowed to do our two seasons with no interference and a lot of approval.”
