Summary
My Adventures With Supermanseason 2 engages with a truly decades-longDCpower debate by giving it a conclusive answer - but one that raises another problem which viewers have been quick to note. Theanimated Superman showhas taken one of the most creative approaches to the Man of Steel’s iconic comic lore, reimagining heroes and villains alike with new designs and tweaks. This has been especially notable in the second season of the show, asMy Adventures With Supermanofficially introduced Lex Luthor, Steel, Supergirl, and Brainiac into the heart of its story, capitalizing on several prior teases.
However, some ofMy Adventures With Superman’s most interesting work when it comes to adjusting DC lore revolves around Superman’s own powers and how he uses them. TheDC animated showhas even been willing to wade in on a conversation regarding Superman’s ability to breathe in space, and did so with an answer that will prove satisfying for some, and truly troubling for others.

As season 2 is almost halfway through airing, Warner Bros. has finally given an update on My Adventures with Superman season 3 on Adult Swim.
DC’s Newest Superman Show Lets The Man Of Steel Breathe In Space
My Adventures With Superman Directly Addresses Whether The Hero Can Breathe In Space
My Adventures With Supermanseason 2, episode 6 weighs in on the age-old debate of whether Kryptonians - and Superman most specifically - can breathe in space with a seemingly very definite confirmation that he can. When Supergirl pretends to be suffering with a malfunctioning space helmet, Clark is understandably horrified, only for Kara to inform him that she was messing with him, sincethey don’t need the helmets in the first place, as they appear to be able to breathe in space.
It’s a very direct modern acknowledgment of the power debate, and one that may come as an especial surprise, givenMy Adventures With Supermantends to lean into the technological side of DC lore when and where it can. However, this moment has only exacerbated conversations around the Man of Steel breathing in space, as his conversation about the ability with Supergirl raises an entirely new mystery.
My Adventures With Superman’s Breathing Reveal Raises Another Crucial Question
Superman’s Ability To Breathe In Space Raises As Many Questions As It Answers
One of the most common reactions online toMy Adventures With Supermanseason 2’s space scene is questioninghow the pair are able to speak in space in the first place, since air is needed for vocal chords to be able to produce sound. Naturally, the most obvious explanation for this is that the animated world ofMy Adventures With Supermansimply takes place in a world where this isn’t the case, but that’s a perhaps somewhat stifling answer creatively.
On an in-universe level, there’s a real chance the explanation for this is that Kryptonians are not confined to the laws of physics like humanity is. By this logic, the same powerset that lets them breathe in space also lets them use it in the same manner human vocal chords use air.
On another side, it’s possible the show is drawing from one comic explanation that sees Kryptonians be able to hold air in their lungs for a very long time, which could be used here to speak while the “space breathing” lets them function in every other sense. Regardless of the canon reason, it’s certainly entertaining to seeMy Adventures With Supermanplay with one of the older debates regarding Superman and his specific powerset.
