Following on from his adventures in this summer’s Superman, it seems that Clark Kent’s best friend, Jimmy Olsen, played by Skyler Gisondo, is getting his own TV series.
American Vandal writers Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda will write the DCU series, which will see the Daily Planet photographer tangle with various DC villains, including The Flash villain, Gorilla Grod, the leader of Gorilla City and a criminal mastermind (yes, the DCU is going to get wild!), whi is reported to be a big part of the first season.
No word on when we can expect to see the series, but now that it’s been greenlit, this could be a great way to introduce lesser-known DC villains and also to shine the spotlight on villains who will be bigger in future projects. It could also be a lot of fun.
Along with Lanterns, Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and more, it seems James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plan for two movies, one animated serie,s and several live-action shows each year is well underway.
Thoughts? I know you have the,m and I wanna hear ’em all.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
