James Gunn’s Superman series will return soon, allowing DC fans to prepare for Man of Tomorrow‘s 2027 release. Gunn is the creative head of the new DC Universe, with the franchise’s first three projects having his DNA all over it. He was behind the animated Creature Commandos, the Superman movie, and Peacemaker season 2. All of Gunn’s projects in the DCU Chapter One have been received well thus far, with Superman, which stands as the first movie in the superhero franchise, being the biggest. Now, Superman fans will be able to get more of that corner of the franchise.
David Corenswet will return as Clark Kent in the Superman movie sequel Man of Tomorrow, where he will be joined by several other heroes that were already introduced in the DCU. Among them will be Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. Not only did Kara make her DCU debut in Superman, but the Supergirl movie’s ending saw her return to Metropolis to stay with her cousin, setting up how they should be working together against Brainiac in the 2027 DC movie. Krypto should be by their side, and before that, HBO Max has announced that Krypto Saves the Day season 2A arrives on September 10.

Superman’s greatest love is a fearless, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who works alongside Clark Kent at the Daily Planet. She’s known for her relentless pursuit of the truth and for being one of the few people who sees both the hero and the man. Who is she?
✓ Correct! Lois Lane has been Superman’s primary love interest since her debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938. A brilliant investigative reporter, she’s as iconic as Superman himself — tough, smart, and unafraid to chase the biggest stories in Metropolis.
✗ Not faster than a speeding bullet on that one! The answer is Lois Lane. Diana Prince is Wonder Woman, Lana Lang is Clark’s high school sweetheart from Smallville, and Cat Grant is a gossip columnist at the Daily Planet. Lois Lane is Superman’s iconic partner.

Despite being nearly invulnerable under Earth’s yellow sun, Superman has one famous weakness — a radioactive mineral from the remnants of his destroyed homeworld. Exposure to it drains his powers and can even kill him. What is this substance called?
✓ Correct! Kryptonite is the irradiated remnants of planet Krypton. Green Kryptonite is the most common and deadly variety, but there are many other types — Red Kryptonite causes unpredictable behavior, Gold Kryptonite can permanently strip his powers, and Blue Kryptonite affects Bizarro.
✗ Not faster than a speeding bullet on that one! The answer is Kryptonite. Vibranium is from Marvel’s Black Panther universe, Nth Metal is tied to Hawkman, and Red Sun Ore isn’t a real DC substance. Kryptonite is the iconic green-glowing mineral that is Superman’s ultimate weakness.

DC Studios co-CEOs Gunn and Peter Safran serve as executive producers on this animated series that was released as a follow-up to *2025’s* *Superman*. While *the Man of Steel* himself is not at focus in this cute series of shorts, he appears in a non-speaking role allowing fans to relive *the fun dynamic* that Corenswet’s *Superman* and Krypto had in *the live-action movie*. Coming from DC Studios and featuring both *Superman* and Krypto, *the new season* of *Krypto Saves The Day* serves as an exciting snack before *the full meal* that will be *2027’s Man of Tomorrow* and Brainiac’s debut.
