My Adventures With Superman’s Showrunner Explains To Us Why He’s ‘Excited’ To Pair Lex Luthor With Slade Wilson For Season 3

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of DC Comics lore, I must admit that my excitement levels are through the roof with the announcement of the third season of My Adventures with Superman. The pairing of Lex Luthor and Slade Wilson, two characters not exactly known for their camaraderie, promises a captivating dynamic that is bound to leave fans on the edge of their seats.


In the second episode of My Adventures with Superman Season 2, Lex Luthor formed an alliance with Amanda Waller. This event, which marked the end of the season on the 2024 TV schedule, signified a significant shift for Slade Wilson, or Deathstroke as comic book fans know him. Historically, these two members of Task Force X harbored mutual disdain for each other, and Slade was particularly displeased when Waller provided Luthor with all the necessary resources to enhance the Metallos. Remarkably, the finale of My Adventures with Superman Season 2 revealed that these two are now collaborating. Jake Wyatt, one of the showrunners for the series, shared his enthusiasm about pairing Luthor with Slade in the upcoming and officially-confirmed Season 3, as reported by TopMob.

In addition to discussing the fact that they discovered Season 3 was coming up well after wrapping up Season 2, Wyatt also talked about the fascinating duo of Lex Luthor and Slade Wilson with our own Sean O’Connell during San Diego Comic-Con. He explained what makes these two characters captivating.

I’m genuinely looking forward to this relationship, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it’s intriguing because they represent the yin and yang, or brains and brawn, which is an entertaining dynamic. Secondly, they are both cunning survivors who managed to outlive General Lane and Amanda Waller. Now, they’re operating in the private sector together. It’s going to be fascinating to watch them navigate their business dealings, especially since they’ve both shown a willingness to betray. I can’t wait to see how it unfolds!

As a longtime fan of the DC Universe, I find it intriguing to ponder over the unexpected alliance between Lex Luthor and Slade Wilson. My years of following these characters have given me insights into their complex personalities and motivations, and this development is no exception.

While I’m not completely convinced that Lex Luthor and Slade Wilson will be the primary villains in Season 3 of “My Adventures with Superman,” it seems likely they’ll cause quite a ruckus. For instance, we might see the introduction of Conner Kent’s version of Superboy, who, if his comic book origins hold true, is a clone born from a fusion of Superman and Lex Luthor’s DNA. Since Project Cadmus isn’t present in this series, it could be that Luthor plays a role in designing the young hero. Moreover, there are hints suggesting Hank Henshaw may transform into Cyborg Superman, so keep an eye out for potential involvement of LexCorp resources in crafting Hank’s new body.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of Superman, I’ve got to admit it – I’m eagerly waiting for Season 3’s premiere date on Adult Swim. But patience is a virtue, right? In the meantime, if you’re a Max subscriber like me, there’s a silver lining: You can stream the first two seasons of my favorite Superman adventures, plus a whole bunch of other thrilling DC movies and shows, at your leisure!
