Superman fans have had plenty to look forward to lately, and My Adventures with Superman has been a big part of that. The animated series offers a younger take on Clark Kent, with a romance that’s just as much a reason to watch as his battles with DC’s villains. Lois and Jimmy make an especially good case for sticking around between those fights.

With so much attention on Superman’s big-screen future, there’s still plenty to be excited about on the animation side. This series has its own take on his world, and there’s a lot left for Clark, Lois, and Jimmy to explore. Fans hoping for more adventures with the trio, however, are still waiting to find out what comes next. Ahead of Clayface, Collider’s Steve Weintraub asked DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran about the status of more My Adventures with Superman. Safran’s answer leaves the series’ future uncertain, with its creative team currently working on another DC animated project. His full response was:

“Up in the air right now. That team is doing My Adventures with Green Lantern for us.”

It’s an answer that will understandably concern viewers hoping for a longer run. Safran did not announce a cancellation, but he also did not confirm more Superman adventures or offer a timetable for a decision. For now, fans will have to wait for a firmer answer about how much more time they’ll get with this version of the Daily Planet crew.

Could ‘My Adventures With Superman’ Characters Return in Another DC Series?

The conversation also touched on whether the Superman characters could appear in My Adventures with Green Lantern (the new DC animated series). With the same team working on that series, Weintraub asked Safran directly about the possibility. Asked whether characters from My Adventures with Superman might appear, Safran said: “I don’t believe so in the first season.” Weintraub then asked whether an appearance could happen further down the road. “Sure. Yeah,” Safran answered. No particular characters or crossover storylines were announced, leaving the details of any potential meeting open.

A crossover would give viewers another opportunity to see these characters, but the appeal of My Adventures with Superman goes well beyond an occasional appearance. Clark’s relationship with Lois and his friendship with Jimmy have been central to the show, giving their lives at the Daily Planet a place alongside the superhero action. Another season would have room to keep developing those relationships while introducing more of Superman’s world, and there’s already an audience invested in what happens to these characters together.

For now, Safran’s comments leave the future of the Superman series unresolved. A possible appearance in the Green Lantern series is still only a possibility.
