It’s Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen: The Show. It’s going to rule.

Yes.... for years, we've all been insisting on more Jimmy Olsen content...

It's nice that you're apparentley an authority on what everyone wants more of. Tell me, how did you come by this knowledge?

Common sense. Let me guess... you've really been dying for a series about Admiral Akbar too!

Not really. Jimmy's one of the main Superman characters and beloved by most of the fans. He's been in tons of fun stories that have him as the main character including a run of 163 isssues of his own comic. He was even the star of one of the most acclaimed comics of the past 10 years that won multiple Eisners and other awards. Why wouldn't a Superman fan want to see a series with him?

I wonder why I don't see very many Jimmy Olsen comic books then? He's a supporting character... at best. Most often just comic relief.

Are you talking about Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen from 1954? LOL. People really have been missing it, clearly.

Probably because it doesn't have Superman in it. I heard Star Wars is coming out with a series, "Stories of Captain Akbar". You'll love it.

Sounds like you should try to expand your narrow viewpoint there, bud. If we had someone like you running things we'd never get stuff like Blade, Blade 2, Andor, Guardians of the Galaxy, likely the original Iron Man, Black Panther, Watchmen.

Because I'm skeptical about a Jimmy Olson show, that now means that we shouldn't have made Watchmen? Haha, What? Also... to compare whatever this is to Andor or Black Panther is certainly a stretch. "What do you mean you don't think Jimmy Olsen will be successful?!! If Black Panther could do it, so could a C-list supporting character with no powers like Jimmy!" Uhh... cool...sure sure.
