My Adventures with Superman returns for its third season later this week. Ahead of the premiere, the animated series released new promotional artwork on Monday showcasing several new characters and an updated look for Clark Kent.
Fans on X quickly noticed subtle changes to the show's visual style. Several viewers praised what they described as a noticeable improvement in animation quality. However, much of the discussion centered on a sweaty, shirtless image of Clark Kent after it surfaced online.

“One thing about MAWS you can always count on, they will make Superman look as slu*ty as possible,” one fan said.
Another quipped, “Yes, they’re slu*ting out the Jack Quaid Superman.”
The promotional images also offered a new look at Giganta, though the character's design proved divisive among viewers.
While many viewers dismissed the artwork as harmless fan service, others argued that the updated visual style unnecessarily objectified the characters.

Shortly after the new images debuted, the series also released an updated opening sequence online.
The footage shows Clark facing off against several villains, including Lex Luthor and Cyborg Superman. The season is expected to draw inspiration from the famous comic storyline Reign of the Supermen, which prominently features Cyborg Superman.

The intro also gave fans their clearest look yet at Conner Kent, better known as Superboy. The character was confirmed to appear in the new installment last month, with Darren Criss set to voice him.
In the footage, Superboy can be seen sharing an emotional moment with Lois and Clark before mysteriously vanishing. The scene led many fans to speculate that this version of Superboy could be revealed as Lois and Clark's future son.
“So Superboy is a Trunks-like character?” another asked, referencing the popular Dragon Ball character.
