You guys remember when I mentioned that whole "I hope Otis appears in the show since it's inspired by the Richard Donner movies" thing yesterday? I hope I didn't kill Richard simply because I thought and posted it because the idea originally came from the news of Ned Beatty's (Otis's actor's) death. I know it sounds crazy but I've got what you call "Magical Thinking OCD" and I think crazy stuff like this all the time and it terrifies me because it might be real.

But, to get back on topic, I wonder if this will affect the show in any way

 

[RoyalRubble]

I don't think this would affect the show in any way since I don't believe Richard Donner was actually involved with the show, at most maybe continue honoring his version of Superman in animated form. It would be kind of cool if there's a dedication to Donner on the first episode but we'll see.

 

[Mandouga]

It won't. The Man of Steel doesn't revolve around his movies, after all...

As seen on Instagram, Madeline Khare is writing for the series, or rather, she wrote for the series.

Nice to see people enthusiastic to work on a Superman cartoon .

Disappointed in myself by the way.

When I brought up Cissy Jones, Lilith Clawthorne from The Owl House voicing Lois Lane, due to the design being likened to Luz?

Forgot that during a flashback in the Superman episode Monkey Fun that Young Lois was voiced by Mae Whitman (Amity).

She voiced Lois in Lego DC Super Villains is what I meant.

I am disappointed this wasn't annouced as coming to Cartoon Network along with the new Batman show. Well I can still hope.

Yeah, I really did think this was further along production-wise, so it's kind of weird .

I haven’t checked on the CN board but I’ve read online that regular Cartoon Network is being shortened to 6 hours. Might this be why?

 

[RoyalRubble]

I doubt Cartoon Network airing for less hours per day has anything to do with it. Presumably some were expecting it to be announced alongside the rest of the stuff coming to the "Acme Night" block. I'm guessing it's either an oversight and the show will premiere there eventually, or it will simply air outside the block and won't be paired with Batman: Caped Crusader.

DCKids Fandome announced the show will premier in 2023.

Minor but some more artwork was also shown at FanDome.

They weren't kidding about this being anime-esque .

Honestly that explains it. Who knows if that Acme block will even exist in 2023.
