Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. "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."
My Adventures with Superman is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, with Register serving as executive producer. Jake Wyatt and Brendan Clogher are on board as co-executive producers, with Josie Campbell as co-producer.
