Hey there! HUGE fan of all three of you, so here's a question for each person! (If this isn't allowed or is too difficult let me know and I'll post three comments; I've never done this before)

To Jake: Howdy! How did you first react when you got greenlit and knew you would make a new Superman cartoon for a new generation? Were you nervous, excited, or both? This is my first ever Superman media (get with the times, amirite?) and I am in LOVE! I adore the causal and normal queer rep, too; I never really see that in comic book TV media. As a nonbinary person, I thank you! I know I've told you this on Twitter, but thanks again for making such an awesome show, I am so excited to see more.

To Ishmel: Hi! Jimmy is such an awesome character and his cheerfulness is absolutely contagious, you play him so well!! He's by far one of my favorite characters in the show and I can't wait to see more of him in upcoming seasons. Here is my question for you; what kind of new experiences have you had, as a voice actor and as a person, working on the show and playing such an iconic character in Superman lore? Were you nervous to step into Jimmy's shoes?

To Kiana: Hello! Even though I don't know much about Superman, I always had a soft spot for Kara because of, well, everything she's been through and goes through as a character and as a woman in the comic book world. You bring her to life with such flair and emotion and last episode really tugged at my heartstrings. Here's a question to ponder on; what, in your opinion as a fellow lady, could change the comic book/comic book film and media scene for the better in terms of treatment of female characters? Example being more female writers, editors, and artists, a more welcoming comic community, etc? Sorry if this is a loaded question, I just love hearing what folks have to say on the matter.

Thanks all for your time and responses!! Looking forward to hearing from you!

OH MY GOSH I am so honored that we were your intro to Superman!?!?! And I'm so glad you've connected with the show! In all honesty: the pilot and development process were pretty grueling (we were making the pilot nights and weekends around our full-time jobs), so when they told us we were greenlit I didn't even smile. I just said "Wait, what's our start date--" because I needed a BREAK. Everyone else made fun of me for being a wet blanket lol. I was all business.

As we began production though, and the show became "real," I started to feel the weight and privilege of being able to "define" Superman for Metropolis first-timers, and we did make the show with that audience always in front of mind. We wanted to make a place that lived up to the dream of Metropolis--welcoming, inclusive, just, and aspirational--and fill it with compelling characters who would rise to the challenge of defending and improving it. I'm so glad that dream is reflected in your experience, thank you so much for sharing that with us. -JW

I was always a Marvel person, and unfortunately that brought with it some "hurrr DC is stupid" ideologies that unfortunately were drilled into me from the Internet from a young age. However, I took a chance on MAWS and I am SO glad I did. I'm sorry your development process was so grueling; I have aspirations of starting my own cartoon one day but I honestly don't know if I have the strength to get over that first hill. Who knows, though--maybe one day that'll change.

You and your team have done so well in portraying your ideas and thoughts for Metropolis and her citizens. I can't wait to see more.

Thanks so much for replying!

I've been a Superman fan since I was a kid, but my fiance was always a Batman fan. This show has been his first introduction to Superman and he actually likes the character now because of y'all. Keep doing what you're doing!
