Along with some photographs of the Surprise Lady antagonist Giganta and a few checking in with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, the trailer focuses on these new additions. Cyborg Superman appears appropriately intimidating, main a bunch of robots and smashing our hero by a few skyscrapers. Superboy seems with out the edgy cool man aesthetic that marked his ’90s tales, and performs extra like an over-excited nerd, befitting the present’s tone.
That tonal consistency extends to the design of every character. Superboy nonetheless has the leather-based jacket and skater haircut that he rocked within the ’90s, however they’ve been streamlined to look extra slick and up-to-date. Likewise, Cyborg Superman nonetheless has a part of his face pulled again to disclose a metallic cranium, however the darker tones and rounder edges not recall Terminator 2 or Stone Chilly Steve Austin.
Nevertheless, it’s Superman’s look that represents probably the most distinctive shift from the Reign of the Supermen arc from the comics. Spoilers for a 30-year-old storyline, however the run ended with the true Superman coming again. He not wore crimson trunks, or any coloration in any respect, selecting as a substitute a glossy black bodysuit with silver highlights. Extra memorably, he now sported a mullet, finishing an ensemble that recommended “second pairing defenseman on the LA Kings” greater than “the Final Son of Krypton.”
Season 3 of My Adventures with Superman avoids that vogue mistake, holding Clark in his basic blue and crimson. And with trunks prominantly on show, the underwear debate has formally come to an finish.
However for many who need to maintain squabbling about Superman’s seems to be, the trailer raises a query: Why does Superman have shoulder pads that come straight from an Elaine Benes energy swimsuit?
My Adventures with Superman premieres midnight on June 13, 2026 on Grownup Swim and the subsequent day on HBO Max.
