Here’s a free look at the series premiere of Adult Swim’s Jack Quaid, Alice Lee, and Ishmael Sahid-voiced My Adventures with Superman.

Looking for a fun & exciting take on The Man of Steel that you can get in on from the start and not have to know 30 years’ worth of canon to understand? Well, look no further than Adult Swim’s Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Alice Lee (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) & Ishmael Sahid (Cousins for Life)-voiced My Adventures with Superman. But let’s say that you didn’t get a chance to check out the two-episode debut, or you don’t have immediate access to your Max account – or you haven’t signed up yet? No worries! The fine folks over at Adult Swim were kind enough to post the premiere episode (no sign of the second episode… yet?) on YouTube for you to easily enjoy – and we have it waiting for you below.

Here’s a look at Adult Swim’s My Adventures with Superman S01E01: “Adventures of a Normal Man, Pt. 1,” followed by previews of the series and what’s still to come:

“My Adventures with Superman” Producers Discuss Adult Swim Series

Producers Jake Wyatt, Brendan Clogher, and Josie Campbell discuss what Quaid brings to the roles of both Superman and Clark Kent – and why holding off on Lex Luthor was the right move:

Wyatt & Campbell on What Jack Quaid Brings to “My Adventures with Superman”

“He’s funny as hell. Jack Quaid is deeply funny. There’s a lot of comedic timing. Also, Jack is extremely dedicated. We have to schedule extra time for Jack because sometimes you’re like, ‘That’s it.’ And he’s like, ‘That’s not it. I can do it better.’ You’re done with it when Jack is happy with it. He’s a real professional, really committed to the craft, and has a lot of great jokes,” Wyatt shared. Campbell added, “And really loved Superman. We thought we loved Superman, but Jack loves Superman so much. He cares about every line, every emotion, and every episode. Well, yeah. And then he’s like, ‘We gotta… we got to do another take,’ and it’s great.”

Clogher on What Holding Off on Lex Luthor Has Allowed Them to Do

“In some of the other interviews, we brought [up] the fact that execs give us good notes, which is nice. And one of the very early ones was we were sort of told to hold off on Lex Luthor for a bit. So it forced us to dig in and be like, ‘Who do we have available to us that can create sort of a good counterpoint to our Clark Kent? Who is someone who cares about people?’ And as you saw, we found a way to do that with certain villains that reflect some of our real-world modern villains. I think [that] is really what we’re trying to do,” Clogher explained.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) and based on the popular DC characters, the serialized coming-of-age story catches up with twenty-somethings Clark Kent, the bright and driven Lois Lane, and their best friend Jimmy Olsen as they begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative reporting team at the Daily Planet. Viewers will follow Clark as he builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis – and perhaps the world. Lois, now growing into a star investigative journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures, taking down bad guys, stumbling over secrets, and discovering what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane. Now, check out the opening credits to the animated series:
