Smallville: Clark Will Get Closer to the Traditional Superman Costume

IF they bring Darkseid on the show, hopefully it will work out more effectively than the battle with Doomsday did. The fight between them has to absolutely rock or there's no point in bringing him on.

BALLS!!!!

This show is great.

can someone please tell me what is it with the trench coats. Am I missing something?

he should wear it at the end of this season and make zod or a scientist find doomsday under ground

If I remember right Superboy was wearing
the Super-suit in Smallville in all those
Superboy comics I read as a kid! And Lana
Lang had bright light-red hair and Superboy
was in the Legion of Superheroes in the
future every once in awhile! Of course I
may be wrong...

that was a different universe DD. This is the smalleville universe, they don't stick much to the comics storylines at all according to things I've read. I also want to tell you that I read Superboy in the 70's, great comic reading. I recommend it to anyone.

What I mean with them starting to get into storylines is the stuff with the Green Arrow about ready to take a huge fall. You can see it coming because he's becoming a drunk who's blowing all his money on booze and gambling. I enjoy the Green Arrow as a character in anything because deep down he's just as [frick]ed up as anybody else in the real world.

Ummm hellooooooooo.......am i the only one out picking up my copy of hardwired? It's got frigen Cuba goofing jr and Val Kilmer!!!!!!!!

On purpose or mistake? You decide :)

Tea@ the movie is clearly a mistake. My goofing is the question :)

sirprize@ stick your head in my doggie doo doo

Oh that pic Teabag dear god no! If I have to see Tom Welling in that outfit I will die from horror lol

tenaciousbt: I dont actually dislike Tom Welling all that much - I blame the writers and directors for not giving him good enough stories and scenes to show that he is in fact a decent actor!

I SAY THIS IS PROMISING, NEVER EVEN THOUGHT HE'D WEAR THE SUIT...BUT DUDE, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA EXPLAIN HOW THEY WILL DIFFERENTIATE CLARK FROM SUPERMAN WHEN EVERYONE CAN TELL WHO HE IS????

nothing but good things from here on out and that bullet catching scene was awesome! come on season 10!

this show just gets worse.

I agree. Welling does okay in Smallville but I would never want him anywhere near the movies. Theres a reason they haven't put him in the movies guys.
@Batfan. I know I agree on the Kara flying and not him. Stupid bull squat.
Oh and yes that scene with the bullets from last episode was pretty bad ass I liked it, but then I thought about it and my thoughts now are, "What a total rip off of 'Returns'."

@ED GROSS-

"I actually think Welling, when given the proper materia, is great and in his heroic moments he absolutely demonstrates that he could play Superman. Hopefully we'll see that some day."

Well said!!!!

As for your suggestion above, I think something along those lines could work.......i mean......it IS Smallville!!!

Someone else threw out the suggestion of having ZATANNA put a charm on his glasses, which i think is a great idea too! There are so many ways they could fix the issue that i think too many people make too big a deal of it.



TENACIOUSBT-

I wish I could actually believe there was a possibility of seeing WELLING on the big screen as SUPES, but unfortunately no one had the FORSIGHT to plan for it. This show should have run for 5-6 seasons tops, then jumped onto the big screen. Unfortunately, WELLING would be dragging all the baggage of a show MOST people have already dismissed. I too, think he could pull it off splendidly, but unfortunately there aren't enough people who feel the same way.



INSTAGATORGIRL-

No way! That one scene was better than all the action scenes in SUPERMAN RETURNS combined!!!!

To InstigatorGIRL and Taloutd, you're right, it probably will go that way.

One thing in Welling's favor is that Smallville is a show that simply won't die. What I mean is that they move it to Fridays, considered the deathslot, and it's continuing to rise in the ratings. It also supposedly remains a massive success overseas, and that overseas market could be strong enough for them to actual consider casting him. Obviously this is all fanboy thoughts, but you end Smallville with him becoming Superman, you can actually start a feature film that would work for people who haven't been watching the show.

Think about it. First off, you wouldn't need an origin story. Everyone agrees an origin story at this point -- unless it's told in some sort of quick flashback -- is pointless. But if a movie picked up where the series left off, Clark is Superman, he works at the Daily Planet, the triangle between Clark, Lois and Superman that audiences would expect would already be there, one assumes that there would also be a Perry White and new Jimmy Olsen in place. You really could hit the ground running without too much explanation of where this version of Superman came from. All of the pieces would be in place.

That make sense?
