Jimmy Olsen is a fictional character created by DC Comics. Olsen works at the Daily Planet with Clark Kent in DC Comics ~ Superman. He is traditionally depicted as a bow tie wearing, red-haired young man who is a cub reporter. Also working with him at the Daily Planet is Superman's girlfriend, Lois Lane.

During the Silver Age (1956-1970) of Comic Books, Jimmy starred in his own comic book, Superman's Pal ~ Jimmy Olsen, which featured him in various adventures with and without Superman; this series of comics debuted in 1954. The stories in the title would often feature particularly outlandish situations, ranging from Jimmy being hurled back in time to Krypton before its destruction in issue #36 to dealing frequently with gorillas of all sorts. You will find various DC Comics collectibles in the online eBay store of Capstone Consulting Group, including Jimmy Olsen ~ Superman's Pal.

In most depictions of the character, Olsen has a strong friendship with Superman. As Superman's friend, Jimmy has special access to the Man of Steel, thanks to Superman's gift to Jimmy of a "signal wrist watch" which, with the press of a button, emits a special ultrasonic frequency signal that Superman can hear anywhere on Earth. During his apprentice years as an office boy, Jimmy Olsen is consumed by a burning ambition to become a real reporter.

Jimmy Olsen has appeared in every major filmed adaptation of Superman. The first actor to portray Jimmy Olsen in live-action was Tommy Bond in the serials starring Kirk Alyn. On the Adventures of Superman television series starring George Reeves, Jimmy Olsen was portrayed by Jack Larson. Larson also portrayed an unnaturally aged Jimmy Olsen in an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

In the four motion pictures starring Christopher Reeve beginning with Superman: The Movie, Jimmy Olsen was portrayed by Marc McClure. McClure also played Jimmy Olsen in the 1984 spin-off movie Supergirl. On the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Jimmy Olsen was portrayed by Michael Landes in the first season and Justin Whalin for the rest of the series' run. The reason cited behind the change is that Landes looked too much like Dean Cain as well as to emphasize Jimmy's youth. In Superman: The Animated Series, Jimmy was voiced by David Kaufman.

In the television series Smallville, the character of Chloe Sullivan mentioned losing her virginity to a Daily Planet staffer named Jimmy who was "cute, in a bowtie sort of way," which was an obvious reference to Jimmy Olsen. It has been revealed that actor Aaron Ashmore will be starring as Jimmy Olsen in Smallville and that he will be romantically linked with Chloe. He is probably the same Jimmy that had an interaction with Chloe.
