Superman is getting a new cartoon

 And this first image is everything that is wrong with modern cartoons.


Clark Kent hanging out with his new underage friends, Jamal Olson, a nerdy black kid whose character trait is being the Best friend who has two dads. The other is Luis Lane, a gay Bi-Racial hyperactive kid. His dad is white, while his mother is Mexican. He often ends up sentences with Spanish words so we can remember he's half-Mexican, despite having a Puerto Rican mixed with Dominican accents when speaking Spanish...

Just kidding, but might as well be. Another version of Jimmy Olsen who is victim of Ginger erasure... also, why does Lois look like a 13 year old effeminate boy?

“This is the first animated Superman series in many years and we want to tell our Superman story through the trio of Clark, Lois and Jimmy — whose relationship dynamic will allow for rich, serialized and engaging stories as we explore their lives as individuals and their journey together as friends.”

And this is sounding like a redressing of Noelle Stevenson's bastardization of She-Ra more than a Superman series. Yes, I might be overreacting to a screenshot and a quote, but that's literally what I do here. Also, a non-Snyder topic was long overdue. The show could actually be surprisingly good as it happened with Harley Quinn, but the "best friend squad dynamic" worries me.
