My Adventures with Superman S03E09 Preview: Clark the Barbarian?

Spoiler? Clark's going to have a tough time getting his powers back. Here's our preview for My Adventures with Superman S03E09: "Vae Victis."

Considering there were still two episodes to go, last week's episode of Adult Swim and Showrunners Jake Wyatt and Brendan Clogher's Jack Quaid, Alice Lee, Ishmael Sahid, and Kiana Madeira-starring My Adventures with Superman had a whole lot of jaw-dropping moments. Kara may have made the ultimate sacrifice to save our heroes from Lex's Eradicator, who jumped to the future after getting his hands on Jonathan's time travel tech. Amanda Waller shuts down LexCorp and has Agent Wilson arrest Lex. Meanwhile, Clark's visions lead him and the Kryptonian clone to the Fortress of Solitude to have his powers restored – but let's just say that things there don't get off on a friendly note. With that in mind, here's a preview for the season's penultimate chapter, S03E09: "Vae Victis," along with a look back at some comments during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival about the show's future.

Cartoon Network, Adult Swim & Boomerang President Michael Ouweleen offered some insights into what the future may hold for the animated series during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. "We don't know yet. Season 3 is doing great. This started before Peter [Safran] and James [Gunn] came in, so we need to hear from them about it. It cohered with what they were doing. It was already in the works, and they looked at it, and they were like, 'This is fine. Keep going.' But we're letting them kind of drive DC. It's their job now, right? So, we'll see," Ouweleen shared during an interview with Collider at the international animation festival when asked about the chances of a fourth season.

He continued, "The series creator did great. It's doing well. Whenever it premieres on streaming, it pops a little bit. It's doing great, and people are really happy with it. I see good things about it. I'm glad we found a home for it. How we saw our role in that, because that was during a time of flux, we jumped in and said, 'Let us put this in front of an Adult Swim, Toonami audience. We think that's the best home for it.' So, mission accomplished on that one."

In Season 3, Clark has truly become Superman and made peace with his Kryptonian origins – he's ready to settle down! But Lois, who has finally become the Planet's star reporter, is NOT. Jimmy has evolved from freelance photographer to celebrity journalist—but he's still intimidated by the romantic attentions of the newly arrived Kara Zor‑El (Kiana Madeira), who's trying to find her place on Earth. In our latest action, comedy, and romance-packed season, this found family will have to confront powerful new enemies that challenge Superman, threaten their future, and test the bonds holding them together. Can our heroes save their tomorrow–before it destroys today?

Wyatt and Clogher are co-executive producers and showrunners for My Adventures with Superman. The series is also executive produced by James Gunn, Peter Safran, and Sam Register, with Kimberly S. Moreau serving as producer
