Darkseid Coming to Smallville?

Darkseid Coming to Smallville?

When is the Apokolips?

Editorial Opinion

Filed Under: Superman

I just got finished watching Smallville: Absolute Justice and was kinda impressed by it. The TV movie tried new things and I respect the producers and writers for having the guts to attempt it. Doctor Fate was definitley spellbinding (See what I did there?). But that wasn't the master stroke of this mini-movie.

As most of you know, Pam Grier appears in these two episodes as Amanda Waller. She is an agent of Checkmate and introduces us to the Suicide Squad by name only at the end. But before she ends the life of our frost bitten antagonist, she warns him of the Apocalypse yet to come. Or is it Apokolips?


The majority of you have surmised from my subtle title that I am referring to Darkseid, another of Superman's more powerful adversaries and ruler of the planet Apokolips.

Poster earlier today was an interview with Geoff Johns who described writing in "more than a dozen Easter Eggs." All the JSA equipment and history aside, this might refer to Darkseid.

If they decide to put Darkseid in the show, and I suspect that it would sometime next season, I would ask that 1) Michael Ironside gets to voice the role. Ironside portrayed Darkseid in the Superman Animated Series and he can do a good job with this given the opportunity. And 2) don't mess this up like you did the Doomsday arc. I still cringe everytime I see those episodes.

And to prove that ironside is THE Darkseid, check out this segment below:



That's all for now.
Godspeed

It's been confirmed as Apokolips by Geoff Johns himself by way of his Twitter. Absolute Justice blew my mind, that was AMAZING.

I thought it was cool that they gave us a glimpse of Martian Manhunter in his true form. I want to see a pic of that pop up.

Yes all the Easter eggs were cool. It sure sounded like Darkseid is coming.

The fight scenes were pretty dam good for a TV superhero show also.The relationship between Oliver and Hawkman was entertaining.

The show rocked IMO for a TV movie.

It would be cool to see Darkseid and Zod (with his powers of coarse) duke it out with Clark. That would be beyond amazing

Didn't see AJ, I'll catch it online sooner or later.

But NOOOOOOO to Darkseid on Smallville. Darkseid is too epic a villain to be put on the low budget small-screen of Smallville. Do they want Doomsday all over again?

What TYLER said!!!

IF DARKSEID turns up, thats time to quit this show!!!


No matter how good the shows got, we don't want it going back to the sh1tty WATERED DOWN DOOMSDAY DAYS!!!

SMALLVILLE = [frick]ING AMAZING!!!

DARKSEID = TRAIN WRECK BEFORE IT HAPPENS! : P

Im guessing waller killed jor-el.
I have a gut feeling if they bring darkseid, they will have both ZOD and clark fight him together. I don't think they would have had Jor-el's death wish for clark to save ZOD just to have him to fail miserbly.

Supes needs to be at full fightin strength, flying, everything before they can even think about it with Darkseid and of course become known as SUPERMAN too. C;mon. Even though it sounds cool and tickles our fancy, they need to keep bringing the show up to snuff before they bring in that big gun supervillian.

Michael Ironside is awesome. I wish he was in more things.

I really hope that this episode got really good ratings. And that Smallville will get a bigger budget so they can do more stuff like this. JSA, Checkmate and Suicide Squad man its getting good. I would love to see Darkseid he is probably my favorite DC villain, but to be honest I would like to see him in a JLA theatrical movie.

I am still in geek-outsville from watching that episode.

All I can think of right now is that IF they do put Darkseid in the show, they HAVE to also include Mr. Miracle, and his lovely bride.


I still can't quite believe that the JSA got put on tv, even if they did kill half of them.
BubbaDude
BubbaDude - 2/5/2010, 9:22 PM
BIG GEEK THOUGHT JUST HIT:



Imagine if this episode is popular enough to warrant a JSA series. Imagine if that series was done as an adaptation of "Golden Age" on, say FX at 10 pm so they could ramp up the violence and production values.....

I prefer this Superman vs. Darkseid clip

Smallville's biggest problem is that its on the CW. Its hard to even believe that it is a network channel(along with fox,cbs,nbc, and abc). If they do a JSA show it would prob do better on a channel such at FX. Even Scyfi(or however there spelling now) or USA would be a good fit for the show.

Hey, now they're going to have to bring in Batman. With Amanda Waller in there, they need someone like Batman to handle her

I agree with you, Batson.If they did a JSA it should be on another network.Not FX, as it wouldn't be able to support the budget.Seeing as how CBS partly owns the CW, I think that would be a good place for it.

Even though Smallville has had to work with a small budget, I do think being on a smaller network led to it's longevity.Because it's a genre show, it doesn't appeal to mass audiences.So it's better to be on a network that doesn't need high ratings to succeed.That's why sci-fi/fantasy shows tend to last longer on the CW and SyFy.It would be nice to see it on on another network, though.

Anyway, I would be really disappointed if we don't get a JSA spinoff, what with the way they were setting up storylines.Locating all the former members, their children and proteges and the Helmet finding the next Dr. Fate.

DannyRand401: YES to what you said I just posted on another thread about Welling in the 2hr movie. Welling's portyal of Clark is boring,lame,and wimpy he's in a two hour movie that he helped produced and he does basically nothing. Since LEX left Hartley has carried this show along with Chloe. This season she's alot more interesting and she looked good in those tight jeans tonight.

DDD
DDD - 2/6/2010, 5:48 AM
Man, it sure did seem like they were setting things up for a
JSA series somewhere! What a bunch of set-ups for the next
generation of JSA-ers! I'd watch a JSA show ...like on
CBS---religiously! I would find the time to watch it or definitely
Tivo it when I couldn't!

This was another very well written script by Geoff Johns!
He is da Man!!!! ;D

But no to Darkseid on Smallville! Save that for the JL movie
or the next Supes movie, whatever decade that comes!
BubbaDude
BubbaDude - 2/6/2010, 6:09 AM
hmnnn....even if they don't have Darkseid, ya think they may have some of the New Gods?


...but why have them if no Darkseid?

I would love to see darkseid in the shows final episode just coming to earth and Lois is talking to Clark about it as he comes out in the superman costume. To the final scene could be him flying off to fight him.

Wadey09 - 2/6/2010, 7:18 AM
you want to know an interesting fun fact?
Absolute Justice Part 2 was directed by Tom Welling.
so he may not be the perfect Clark but now we know he has the right stuff to bring other characters onscreen and do THEM justice!

WHAT WOULD BE COOL...CLARK NOW (AKA THE BLUR) IS MET BY DARKSIED, MONUMENTAL FIGHT OCCURS, BUILDINGS SHATTER CARS THROWN, STREETS CRACKED DOWN THE CENTER, OUR CLARK, NOT STRONG ENOUGH...THEN...BOOM! BOOM TUNNEL AND MEMBERS OF THE JUSTICE LEAUGE IN FULL, DEAD ON COSTUMES COME OUT AND SAVE CLARK WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE...THEN OUT OF THE TUNNEL LAST, YOU JUST SEE A DARK SILLOUETTE....GRABS DARKSIED AND THROWS HIM INTO A DIMENSIONAL RIP..THE DARK FIGURE LOOMING OVER A BROKEN CLARK HE MOTIONS THE LEAUGE TO HEAD BACK THROUGH THE TUNNEL AND BEFORE HE LEVITATES AND FLIES THROUGH THE BOOM TUNNEL HE TELLS CLARK, I THINK WE'LL BE ALRIGHT..AND AS HE FLIES TO THE TUNNEL YOU CATCH THE RED AND BLUE....

MAN! What a great episode last night!
we saw some of the old JSA members
Including Wildcat,Green Lantern,The Flash
(not in costume) but that was good enough for me!
Seeing Martian Manhunter in his REAL MARTIAN form
was awesome! even if it was for only a few seconds,
but Dr Fate gave him his powers back, and at the end
of episode 2 Martian Manhunter ACTUALLY used his
PHASE power! Smallville has NEVER done that before!
I like the fact the they MENTIONED the SUICIDE SQUAD!
(that was a nerdgasm) and Tess is a member of CHECKMATE!
Amanda Waller was GOOD, She always has a hidden agenda
and thats what makes her a great character to introduce
into that episode. This episode was the best episode of SMALLVILLE I ever saw! The way The OLD and NEW members
of the JSA teamed up with Clark, ARROW,Manhunter.That last
fight scean was EPIC..and it ACTUALLY LOOKED REALLY GOOD!
DR. Fate was MORE than what I expected, He was portrayed
PERFECTLY! and the costume was spot on, Hawkman was great
LOVED the costume, and the acting was great but the voice has to go (just like Green Arrows voice in costume)
ANYWAY..there was only TWO bad things about that episode.
ICICLE looked great and his powers looked really good
but the acting was just OK, for such a major role in a two hour episode the acting on ICICLES part was not up to
PAR..And the other was NOT SEEING MAXWELL LORD, the man
behind all those CHECKMATE teases, but that is OK, because
I hope to see him in SEASON 10..and that is when they can
CONTINUE this story, because they won't have time to
wrap up all those teasers like Apokolips and the Suicide
Squad, and Checkmate..if they wait until season ten we can have a whole season about the forming of the suicide
squad and Maxwell Lord killing Ted Kord (the Blue Beetle)
and that is how they could tie-in Booster Gold
(Booster and Beetle were best friends)..All and All this
episode called Absolute Justice made all my nerd wishes
come true, and all my hopes for a tenth season has become
a reality.

I hope Darkseid doesn't come on to Smallville. AJ was a good tv movie, but Darkseid and his world should be part of the no Batman/Bruce Wayne zone since Clark isn't Superman yet. No Superman no Darkseid. The whole Apokolips, and the Suicide Squad was just a teaser. This show should have ended after 7 seasons. Now Clark is doing everything Superman should be doing by now.

Michael Ironside is Lois' father already. He couldn't voice Darkseid. He is a great actor though.

Leee I'm with you.....even if the show continues on this uphill to greatness, I don't thin they need Dark', bringing him next year would be a disaster for everyone....the budget can not do the character justice....thinking ahead I would think DC in order to come back strong in the big screen with supes would need a villain like Dark' so they let him go to the small screen and possibly fall apart is something DC would not allow the chance....IMO Waller was referring to the Kandorians and Zod getting power....not Dark'

Well, I heard this season is it for Welling. Can't have Smallville without Clark. They could bring Darkseid in this season if they wanted. Who else would be powerful enough to turn earth's sun red. Maybe him and Zod team up. Easy way to get rid of "Major" Zod, have Darkseid turn on him and kill him, then Clark trick Darkseid into switching it back. Have him play on his ego that he needed Clark weak to defeat him and Darkseid puts the yellow sun back to prove him wrong and gets his butt kicked!
