Smallville Season 10: What we Need from it

Smallville Season 10: What we Need from it

The CW wants a 10th season of their current longest running show, Smallville, but what will be in it?

There are A LOT of things that Smallville should do to make us satisfied. We talked for like a half hour, then summed it down to ten minutes as best we could.



1. Lex, the arch nemesis, needs to come back and have a conflict. It might be the last episode, but it needs to happen. Everyone knows he wasn't killed by a toy teddy bear. Why even bother trying to trick us?

2. Clark needs to have all his guns in his arsenal, meaning that he needs to fly, but also have arctic breath. He's done super breath, but nobody has been frozen by the boy of steel.

3. There needs to be a fight scene on Smallville that's at least five minutes long. It's a lot to ask from Smallville, but they owe us that. They might have to cut down their budget to make it happen. I don't care if the spend an entire episode at the Kent farm. They need to give us an epic fight scene.

4. Lana should have never had super powers. Frankly, she should have never come back in season seven. But since they screwed her up, she should come back to Smallville, want Clark, and he should make it clear that he's with Lois and is better for it. Why? Because that's the way it is in the comic books. Lois and Clark have had a great chemistry build up to get to the point that they're finally at, but Clana fans need to be put out of their misery and understand that Lois is Clark's true love and he's not with Lois just because he can't be with nasty kryptonite Lana.

5. Chloe needs to evolve into her own person. Season seven, she blamed her Davis psycho relationship on protecting Clark. Well, her Clark universe needs to expand and she needs something more to her life. It's cool that she's helping people, but it's still Clark's world. She had goals and dreams, but that apparently didn't matter when Lois came on the show and got everything Chloe ever wanted. She needs to be her own person and find a different passion that completes her, or we demand her death.

6. Clark needs to put in the costume. It can be at the very end, the last shot of the show. If the journey of Superman is over, then we need to see what we invested our precious time in all these years. Also, call him Superman. "The Blur" has already gotten old. We don't want it to be overly annoying.

7. Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman would make great renditions to the show. There are rules not to touch them, but we all know that Green Arrow is a Batman substitute. Though Oliver works for the show, Bruce Wayne would get Smallville a lot of ratings and appease the fans that have uttered such rumors for years. Smallville happened when a Bruce Wayne story couldn't get off the ground. Why not stick him on Smallville? And I know the fanboys want to see Wonder Woman. I'm interested to see what they would do with her relationship with Lois.

8. Finish Smallville with a solid villain who is a real challenge for Clark that he has to evolve to defeat, and not devolve the villain so Clark can manage. Doomsday was interestingly thought out at first, but had a poor climax and a poor fight for the creature that killed Superman in the comic books. Zod has been a foe lingering for a while and I'm glad they revisited him in a way that makes sense and is a story that would actually be in a comic books. Continue on this path, and make it bigger.

9. Perry needs to come to the Daily Planet. Clark, Lois, and fake Jimmy worked there. Chloe worked there! Restore him to his rightful place.

10. Out of all the things thus far explored, these are probably the least likely. Buy what the hey? We need an explanation of some of the characters that have gone who were an important part of the show. Nobody talks about Martha. Fans want to know more about what happened to Kara. I personally don't care that much, because she should have never been on the show to begin with. We want to see Lois's family again. I think "The General" coming back on the show to criticize Clark for being a "mild mannered reporter" would be terrific. What ever happened to the other Luthor son, Lucas? He's alive. I'd like to see him reappear for at least an episode. We also need some Justice League epicness. We don't need to see Oliver and his team doing mild work and Clark rejoining them so they can strut away from an exploding building. We need to see real team work needed for a worthy adversary.

If by some miracle this list is completed, I think Smallville can die happy.

Smallville villains are always watered down no matter how much you want epicness. I'm personally not a fan of Smallville being the DC universe they should just leave the other heroes alone and give us a new Flash series or something. For me the show is currently the Lois Lane and Oliver Queen show, Clark needs to develop more (I'm currently on the 6th episode of the current season).

The current coreography needs to be changed how can Lois Lane have better fights than CK? Worse still is when Clark stands still at hyperspeed - doesnt make sense. Even if CK doesnt have flight we need more than his standard push/throw attack.

They should never ever taint Batman with their depiction ..........Never. The Grayson may pass through Metropolis but no Bruce Wayne

I think the dynamic between Bruce and Clark are so great in the comics that it would be a shame if they didn't do at least one episode. It would be such a simple story, it would be a shame if they got it wrong. Clark wants to do something stupid, Bruce tells him it's stupid, Bruce is right, Clark says something sappy, Bruce rolls eyes and leaves. It's that simple.

It is a shame that Lois has the best fight scenes. Doomsday was his time to shine, but I wasn't surprised when they messed that up. I knew better than to hope for a decent fight scene.

I think Clark will develop. He's starting to embrace his heritage and going after what he wants.

Personally I think Batman can't be on Smallville because technically Batman is already on the show..but in the body of Green Arrow. The way the character(green arrow) is portrayed almost mirrors Batman. The two characters share almost the same past, and kinda act the same. It is like the writers of Smallville had originally written the new character to be batman but they couldn't get the rights so they just changed the name Bruce Wayne to Oliver Queen.
If Batman is to be on the show then it would just be like having an identical twin to Green Arrow seeing that there are very few differences between the two.

No. Oliver disagrees with Clark, but Clark ends up right. Batman is always right. lol

But Batman and Oliver aren't the same. Bruce Wayne's persona is completely different than that of Batman. Oliver is going through a tough time, but Bruce is straight up emo. And if you read Batman/Superman, then I think anybody can understand that the dynamic between the two of them are unlike any other characters and Smallville would benefit with their bantering.

Besides, Oliver has become Chloe's whipping post. Bruce can get behind his own computer. And Bruce and Oliver would butt heads due to political issues.

But Oliver is a Bruce Wayne substitute, but I would appreciate the real thing, for at least one episode.

What we need is for CW not to screw up the rest of this season. then we can talk about 10. I was so pumped up for the Doomsday fight, and then all of a sudden I found my self switching channels.

Well there are some moments in Smallville that you can tell that Green Arrow is supposed to be Batman. I'm not talking about the comics, I'm talking about how he is portrayed in the show. Believe me I am not the only one who sees the similarities between the two. Sure they might be different in the COMICS, but the way Green Arrow is portrayed in the show has some resemblence to Batman.

Plus Batman is not always right, nobody can be always right( not even The Batman)
