Line 18:
After Kirby's departure, Jimmy's title was combined with Lois' to create ''Superman Family'' in which Jimmy's stories became more realistic urban crime adventures. In them, the crooks are usually [[Genre Savvy]] enough to remove his signal-watch, forcing him to rely more on his own wits. Fortunately, Jimmy is more than up to the task as a two-fisted [[Intrepid Reporter]].
Jimmy's role has since waned over the decades; while he still appears in most versions of ''Superman'', his role as best friend has effectively been taken over by Lois, as she not only is more agreeable, but is now ''married'' to Superman.
However, Jimmy recently{{when}} got his own mini-series, starting as a co-feature in ''Action Comics'', before getting cancelled, and later reprinted with the storyline complete. In fact, it was praised as one of the best series' of the year, and deeper delving into Jimmy's character, particularly his Genre Savviness about his cosmic plaything status, has yielded surprisingly solid results.
This storyline also finally introduced the popular [[Smallville]] character Chloe Sullivan into official DC Comics continuity, and paired the two fellow [[Canon Immigrant|Canon Immigrants]] (Chloe from ''[[Smallville]]'', Jimmy from the radio serials) together.
