The family aspect of DC’s Superman is more prominent than ever thanks to “Rebirth” and the success of Super Sons, and it was almost going to be the premise of a Warner Bros. animated series.
Long-time animation artist/director Vinton Heuck has shared artwork from Superman Family, an animated series he was pitching to Warner Bros. Animation. Heuck, who recently worked on Young Justice and is now working on DC Universe’s Harley Quinn, wanted to bring the Kent family to cartoons with a heaping helping of “crazy Silver Age stories” inspired by comic books of the past.
Inside the SUPERMAN FAMILY Animated Series That Almost Was
On the one hand, I love the idea of a Superman Family children’s cartoon. I mean, it’s kind of a duh. Well, yeah, why hasn’t it already happened.
On the other hand, however… heaping helping of crazy Silver Age stories?!? I just can’t. I’m not sure my brain will let me.
Okay, to be fair, Batman: Brave and the Bold featured a lot of “old stuff” and it was a hoot. So there’s that.
Oh, and then what is going on with their noses in the Sean “Cheeks” Galloway pictures? At least in the proposed cover they don’t all have red noses.
