I have often wondered what other superheroes should make cameo appearances in Smallville.Like what they did with Flash.What other heroes would you like to see make cameos in Smallville?
For me I'd like to see Batman and/or Bruce Wayne and I'd love to see Green Arrow and one of the Green Lanterns.

Batman won't make an appearance, they've already been down that road. That's how we got the ersatz Bruce Wayne, Adam Knight, in the third season.

NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE

I'd only advocate a character if it made total sense for them to be there. And no one mentioned so far has any reason to be in Smallville, or on the show. I hated the Flash episode simply because it was totally random.

If there had to be one or two, one would be a villain,,, and it would be bizarro 'clark'. Why? because all the foundation is there in the plot already. ie. The Luthor's and there knowledge about the 'magic blood', the Cloning of Emily, the guy who got brought back to life by Lionel (with the kidney failure). All the ground work is already laid for a Bizarro character, an evil retarded Clark. It'd make a good arc. Two clark's walking around for one episode (double impact style), then in later episode(s) clone Clark begins to break down mentally and physically.

It'd make a great arc

The other would be GL, handled much like Superman TAS handled it. A fallen Lantern would crash in SV, and the ring would scoot around until it found a 'clark' like dork. Villain would show up to capture the ring, and Clark would help this new superhero find his sea legs, and together they'd take down the villain

To have bizarro luthor would need to know about superman though, which he doesnt..

not if lex got his hands on some more of the blood, cloned a specimen, and it escaped before Lex could examine it.

the idea is growing into something cool.

Lex on the hunt for the missing clone. Two clark's walking around, one with amnesia(the clone), one without(good clark). Then Bizarro Clark begins to break down, and becomes unrecognizable. Then Lex finds demented unrecognizable Clark etc.

i always wanted Alan Scott to appear in Smallville, mostly because betwen the golden age heroes he is a legend, and maybe he could teach Clark the real meanning of being a hero.

A guy with aquatic powers of the sea in a land locked state with reservoirs or sediment filled rivers. I would love to see how they would pull that off.

However if Clark were to be on vacation say near the coast...

I see a better spot for Hal Jordan to be in SV than Aquaman since Aquaman would have to come out of the sea and in SV there are only lakes but then again the episode can take place in Metropolis . But Hal Jordan makes more sense and it would give us a cool action sceen.NOw ppl im not saying bring on the Green Lantern, what im saying is bring Hal Jordan before he becomes GL and make him a rookie pilot

I also suggested that another character from Superman's arc should also make a cameo. Hevy Weight Champion of the World Bibbo Bibowski. Lets have Clark have a day with his father in a PPV fight and make Bibbo trow a punch at Jonathan and Clark stops it :D

That's why I said "Aquaman through the Lori Lemaris story" - which does NOT take place on Smallville. Ever read that one ? One of the best Superman stories. And the best thing is, the story takes place in the current timeline of SV, when Clark is in/going to collegue and it is a Clark Kent story. He doesn't wear the suit.

They need to do the Legion of SuperHeroes. Have Brainiac come to Smallville in a plan to eliminate the last son of Krypton before his power's fully manifest, and the Legion comes back in time to save one of their founding members. Imagine that arc!

yep, I mentioned that a couple of times about 3 years ago. It would be the an uber entertaining episode if they ever did it.

That being said, the staff writers of Smallville could learn a lot, and borrow a lot from Superman TAS. Because there are atleast 4 episodes of TAS that would be GOLD, if adapted to fit the smallville screen

Come on, peeps! SV is doing a pretty decent job of keeping things as "real" as possible while still acknowledging the comic book inspirations. By using names like "Kara" (Clark's "cousin" from California), "Krypto" ("You can name your next dog, Krypto) and Mxy (whose MO Chloe discovered by spelling his name backwards), the writers are giving comic book fans big time nods without making the story lines overly ridiculous for the general audience. It's a fine line, and one they're walking pretty well, IMHO.

I agree that the show should not turn into a "Superhero runway", but, afterall this is a show about Superman! While there have been references and nods to the DC Universe, I think they could have more tibdits per season.
I remember in the Pilot episode the newspaper Lionel was reading stated that the Queen CEO was missing... and it would have been a great opportunity at the beggining of season 3 to have Lex encounter Oliver Queen in a deserted island... yet, they preferred to have a new character stranded there with no consecuence, depth or relevance whatsoever.
I was surprised with the Flash episode, but I think, as many posts on this forum, that it wasn´t nailed quite right (it reminded me of the horrible Thor or Daredevil apperances back in the Incredible hulk Tv Shows).
I would like to see Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan, as regular "hard travelling heroes" (not in full attire) going through America, dropping by Smallville and helping Clark capture "a freak of the week". Also, it would be fun to have A-list actors as guest appreances playing the DC universe heroes (if not on films, at least here...) like Jennifer Connelly as Diana Prince.
Unfortunately, my best guess is that guest appreances are more regulated by copyright and property issues than Loeb's or screenwriters' creativity. True, all DC characters are handled through WB, but I guess they want to keep their properties separate in case they want to sell or lease a certain right.
Still, dreams never die...

Great post!

I loved Jinx, what fun that episode was. Possibly one of the best mythos moments in the series was in that one (Clark dressing for "battle" and then the speech he gives to Jonathan before the big game is priceless) and his running to save Chloe and then still win the game... I laughed out loud, that was so much fun.

Loved that episode! Who cares if Mxy wasn't an imp from an alternate plane of existance and didn't wear a purple suit and yellow bowler? I sure didn't...

I hope Trent Ford comes back, actually, in Season 5 with Mxy's powers intact. Maybe then we'll find out who else is on floor 33.1... ;)

Yeah, I agree. I think they said he will be coming back on season 5 along with Bart.
In some stories, Myx travelled back in time to Smallville to show a young Clark things from his Kryptonian past etc. That would be an interesting thing for them to do. And if they can't show bits of Krypton, maybe Myx could show him his future, if you know what I mean... :supes:

I agree and disagree...

should he have been a 5th dimension being? HELL YES. Should he have been a lepracon (sp) NO!!!!!! They got the Myx character just right for the show, it was just the crummy background story they gave him. A magical being, who's family had been cursed. That's Bad. I don't like that. A little bit of creative writing to could have remedied that easily.

I seem to remember a comic with Bruce Wayne . . .maybe it was the Hush series, where he and a friend take a trip to Metropolis and see one of the Older Green Lantern's around (sorry not a big GL fan). Given Smallville's new found proximity to Metropolis that would be something interesting to explore.

Here's my idea for a cameo based on Superboy.

It's an idea that I'm still thinking through, so expect more stuff and maybe changes made as time goes on.

This isn't really for one episode, more so a saga. Maybe the middle part of the season all the way up to towards the end type deal. Haven't divided it up into episodes.

BROTHER

- In a two week time span, several robberies are committed in Metropolis, with the thief being so fast that he's not able to be caught on video camera. Chloe, working at the Daily Planet, informs Clark about it, who automatically suspects Bart(Flash) from Season 4. However, that theory is dismissed when a recent robbery in Metropolis Museum showed that not only was the thief too fast for the camera, but he bent steel bars in order to get to whatever artifact he stole.

- We enter a giant lab labeled Project Cadmus. A group of scientists stand around, taking notes, all looking like they're waiting for someone to return. Out of nowhere, the thief appears. About 15 years old, with a very close resemblance to Clark Kent. His name is Conner.

- They mention his powers, faster than a speeding bullet, able to bend steel, near invulnerability, as well as the abiilty to leap at a great distance. Other senses include x-ray vision, which he can't control. Possibly other latent abilities. Body processes solar energy to produce superhuman abilities.

- Conner is very brash, hates hiding himself and wants to go public, as well as chase women. He eventually will become more sullen.

- The head director of Cadmus is Paul Westfield, who seems to show compassion towards Conner since he was partially responsible for his creation.

- Conner robs the Daily Planet, sent there to remove any incriminating evidence against Cadmus' experiments. He runs into Chloe, who he automatically falls in love with. In mid conversation, a security guard hits Conner from behind with a nightstick, which breaks against him. Conner knocks him out and escapes.

- The founder of Project Cadmus is revealed to be Lex Luthor, who instructs Conner to target the Kent farm and search for an octagonal object.

- Chloe informs Clark that the thief resembles him, and he exhibits most of Clark's powers. In response, CK goes to the FOS and questions if Jor-El has possessed another human being as he did with Kara. His birth father replies no, leaving that mystery unsolved.

- Conner sneaks into the Kent farm, looking for the key in the barn. Clark is in the house but catches the movement with his super-hearing. Running into the barn, the two meet each face to face, with Conner making a snide comment. A battle ensues, tearing the farm apart. Conner does some things that CK can't do, such as leaping high in the air and changing direction in mid-air. Clark blasts Conner with his heat vision, something Conner can't do. Conner finds the key but Clark wrestles him for it. They accidentally knock over the red metal drawers (I hope that's the right terminology), and the piece of kryptonite kept in the farm falls on to the ground. Both Clark and Conner fall, succumbing to the radiation. Clark notices this. The Kents come home, puts the green K back in its box. Clark gets his composure, but realizes Conner is gone, with the key.

- In Metropolis, Conner tries to romance Chloe, who's angry at his actions in Smallville. This leads to Conner and Clark meeting each other without fighting in Metropolis. Conner feels great to open up to someone who isn't wearing a lab coat. He reveals that he was created in Project Cadmus, and tells them that it's part of a LuthorCorp department. Clark emphasizes the importance of the key, which moves Conner to find a way to give it back to him.

- Lex goes to Cadmus for the key, which is in the hands of the scientists. A fire breaks out, the container holding the key is lost in the fire. Conner runs into the lab and saves everyone, but Lex wants the key. Conner hands him the container with a melted metal object. Lex is enraged. While talking to Lex, Conner has the genuine key in his backpocket.

- Conner returns the key to Clark and starts to leave when Clark offers to be his friend, telling him he doesn't have to be alone. At the same time, Clark is telling himself the same question, seeing that he has found a "brother", despite the suspicious origins which aren't revealed as of yet.

- Clark and Conner's interaction would be reminiscent of Bart and Clark, but Conner would talk more about exposing himself to people and cashing in on his powers, with CK doing his usual talk of selfish gain.

- Lex, upon meeting Conner, would be highly suspicious as Conner does resemble Clark.

More to come...when I feel like it. :) :O

Okay, to be honest. It doesnt seem like such a good idea. No offence.

First, having Cadmus established this early and having Clark's Kryptonian DNA before he becomes Superman is pretty weak.

Having a Clark clone named 'Conner' (even though it tends to be spelled Connor) appear this early on kind of precludes the possibility of the existence of Connor in the future (during the Death of Superman saga to his role in the Titans).

A major part of Connor's character is the fact that he is half Kal-el's DNA and half Lex Luthors. Humans were never able to develop a full clone of a Kryptonian, it was impossible...they needed a human base sequence. Connor, in turn, is a conflicted and deep character struggling between good and evil while wondering if he is a clone of Superman or Lex Luthor....

How would Cadmus (if it was founded by Lex like you suggest here) have Clark Kent's DNA when Lex doesnt even know about Clark's abiltiies. Wouldnt the creation of the clone with powers (assuming Lex is giving it orders like you suggest) prove that Clark Kent's DNA is indeed alien....proof to Lex. Thats just not right...

One thing Smallville excels at is the ability to adapt characters in the comics to their continuity and logic. I doubt the whole "Death & Return" of Superman is actually in this Clark Kent's future, so that's a moot point. As far as Cadmus, that was established as part of Smallville lore way back in Season One. I believe Victoria's family sold it to LexCorp or something like that.

A major part of Connor's character is the fact that he is half Kal-el's DNA and half Lex Luthors. Humans were never able to develop a full clone of a Kryptonian, it was impossible...they needed a human base sequence. Connor, in turn, is a conflicted and deep character struggling between good and evil while wondering if he is a clone of Superman or Lex Luthor....
That's a good point. I think one possibility is that Connor is the latest (and therefore most successful) experiment. The previous failed experiments all resulted in Bizarros clones, but when Lex decides to offer his DNA, Connor is born. An even better scenario might be that Lex decides to mix the alien DNA with Lionel's blood!

How would Cadmus (if it was founded by Lex like you suggest here) have Clark Kent's DNA when Lex doesnt even know about Clark's abiltiies. Wouldnt the creation of the clone with powers (assuming Lex is giving it orders like you suggest) prove that Clark Kent's DNA is indeed alien....proof to Lex. Thats just not right...
I think the best explanation is that Lex uses the sample of Clark's blood that I bet he still possesses. And he doesn't know it's Clark's blood, but he does know of its alien properties. After all, I bet Lionel has files at LuthorCorp somewhere. And I think the fact that the resulting Clone bearing a resemblance to a younger Clark Kent will be another nice touch since it gives Lex more insight into who Clark really is.

I think Sage's idea could be a really cool season-long story arc on the show!

Tim, personally I love when they bring in characters from elsewhere. Especially when you remember that this is it's own continuity, they can bring in anyone with their own spin on things. Having Connor show up I think would be great. If they did do a season long arc involving the cloning of Clark, then it would lead to some interesting episodes.

They could introduce Bizarro that way, not including Connor. Re-introducing Cadmus would lead to some neat stuff also. I think they could use the Cadmus story to introduce Gangbuster too, which I would love. He doesn't show up enough in the comics as it is.:up: :cool:

Well I just dont like when they take stuff out of the comics, out of context, totally change everything around about it and fit it into Smallville where it shouldnt be.

I think the DCAU cartoons tend to do a better job of presenting an original product with new stories but is still strongly rooted and based upon the storylines of the comics.

Bringing in Teen Titan characters a decade before Clark even becomes Superman is just strange. I could deal with Smallville being a total reinvent of Superman (alternate earth, Elseworlds..whatever) but still I'd prefer more basis on the source material as opposed to drastic reinvention.

I think I would have had more respect for the show if it could maintain that basis because without it, anything could happen, anythings possible...Darkseid, Doomsday and yes even Connor Kent could show up in future episodes. Superboy showing up long before Clark himself becomes Superman...it just doesnt work for me.

Tim Drake

One thing Smallville excels at is the ability to adapt characters in the comics to their continuity and logic. I doubt the whole "Death & Return" of Superman is actually in this Clark Kent's future, so that's a moot point. As far as Cadmus, that was established as part of Smallville lore way back in Season One. I believe Victoria's family sold it to LexCorp or something like that.


Whos Victoria? I never payed that close attention to the majority of storylines in season one as they werent even that important in the overall picture, some of them led nowhere too. I'd like to know what Cadmus was doing being established this early in the game anyways.

That Death/Return saga is such a huge event in the life of the modern Superman. Unfortunately we'll never know for sure if its in Smallville Clark's future. I guess it wont be, since they already explored his 'death' and 'ressurection' in season 5.

In Leech, Victoria Hardwick an old flame of Lex's (first introduced in Rogue, I believe) was fooled into getting her father to buy Cadmus which ultimately ruins him.

Here in the wikipedia entry on Cadmus in Smallville:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cadmus

The television series Smallville referenced a company called "Cadmus Labs," which Lex Luthor bought. This Cadmus, however, was just being used by Luthor as part of a larger plan; after it was taken from him in a hostile takeover by a woman pretending to love him and her father, it turned out that the project was a feint. The company was in major financial and legal trouble, and so the "lover" and her father were financially crippled.

In doing a search for this online, I also found an old Smallville Ledger article on the events:

The Sage

Okay, to be honest. It doesnt seem like such a good idea. No offence.


WHY!!


First, having Cadmus established this early and having Clark's Kryptonian DNA before he becomes Superman is pretty weak.


I haven't even finished the story up, and how is it weak? Think about it, they're experimenting with Kryptonian DNA at this stage. By the time we approach the Death of Superman saga, they'll have perfected it, which would lead into the real Superboy's creation.


Having a Clark clone named 'Conner' (even though it tends to be spelled Connor) appear this early on kind of precludes the possibility of the existence of Connor in the future (during the Death of Superman saga to his role in the Titans).


No it doesn't. In the comics, Connor is the name given to Superboy by either Superman or the Kents when he decides to live a civilian identity as CK's cousin. If you were to use my idea, Clark could name Superboy Connor in honor of his first teenage clone.


A major part of Connor's character is the fact that he is half Kal-el's DNA and half Lex Luthors. Humans were never able to develop a full clone of a Kryptonian, it was impossible...they needed a human base sequence. Connor, in turn, is a conflicted and deep character struggling between good and evil while wondering if he is a clone of Superman or Lex Luthor....


Well here's the thing...I wouldn't go in that direction. This Connor isn't a mix of Supes and Lex. He is partially human, but he's the first prototype. They're experimenting at this stage. And it will show.


How would Cadmus (if it was founded by Lex like you suggest here) have Clark Kent's DNA when Lex doesnt even know about Clark's abiltiies. Wouldnt the creation of the clone with powers (assuming Lex is giving it orders like you suggest) prove that Clark Kent's DNA is indeed alien....proof to Lex. Thats just not right...

Simple, Lex doesn't know it's CK's DNA. I'll explain it in the second part. It's something leftover from when his father ran LuthorCorp.

Geez, gonna make me give spoilers. :p

Thanks. I was thinking that it wouldn't be Lex's DNA, but rather...Westfield's. I figured that was who it was in the comics until last year when they revealed it was Lex. I figure this way it could be a separation between this Connor and the Superboy of the comics.

Such re-invention is done all the time. It's what helps to keep the stories fresh. There's also many fans of the show who have no clue about Teen Titans, Darkseid, Doomsday, Connor Kent, and even Brainiac.

When SV was first tested for audiences, there were people that had no CLUE what Kryptonite was, or why it affected Clark. That's why they had to show the green vein effect - so that people would know there was something physical happening - and that it HURT! The producers took something from the mythos and adapted it to SV. Clark's blood boils in the presence of K. (ouch!) And the freakin' stuff is everywhere, not just in Addis Ababa. :p

Honestly, I don't mind the changes SV has made. There's a reason for most everything they do, and generally an explanation to accompany the artistic license. If I wanted SV to follow everything explicitly from the comic books, I'd just read the comic books, y'know? As long as the core of the story is still the same though, I'm good.

Seriously, I'd like to see Lobo make an appearance. I know it would seem odd, but maybe it could be done this way:

We all know Lobo is just the badass of them all, who even got kicked out of both Heaven AND Hell, and he always returns, usually reincarnated into a squirrel or a lady or something. Well if you ask me, it'd be nice to have a new character introduced, whose name is Robert "Bo" Wolfe, or something like that, and he is seen as a nuisance to Clark, and an all around bad boy.
Eventually, he will be killed or something (by a villain or whatever), and all his blood that is spilled arises and morphs into the Main Man himself.

Not the BEST idea, but if you ask me, it could work. Or maybe make him Slobo instead of Lobo, I dunno...

I'd like to see Martian Manhunter appear as well. He could've escaped from a government containment center and is taking the alias of a cop named John Jones. Using his telepathic link or whatever, he manages to track down another alien being aka Clark. And you all can continue from there.

The majority of kids had no idea about the complexities and facets of the DCU but when developing the DCAU cartoons; Batman TAS, Superman TAS, JLU etc.. they did it in a manner that was still true (and close) to the comic storylines and yet made it easy for kids to comprehend what was going on.

Smallville is just mainly Millar's own artistic view for Superman and how he would have handled it. All I'm saying its my own personal preference is for a series closer to the source material like the animated series.

Thats repetitive though, and kind of silly when you think about it.

I think logically, (if you feel compelled to do the clone story this early on) you should use Bizzaro first. He's far less perfected than any type of Conner-like clone and pretty rough around the edges. Hes pretty much an experiment gone wrong.

Personally I wouldnt use either at this point in time, Clarks only 18. This stuff can wait till hes Superman. It doesnt do much, writing-wise, to show a teenage clone of Clark Kent, when Clark himself is still a conflicted teen. At least with Superman, the differences between him and Conner are pretty big.

Connor can be 13 to 14, Clark can be what he is now...19. At this point, Clark isn't a conflicted teen, he's a young adult trying to hold on to his current life instead of moving forward with his destiny. Connor can be someone who's discovering that he's a clone of someone else, he doesn't have a childhood, and he feels that he's not real. For goodness sakes, this is good stuff! Their interactions would be the sweetest.

In any case, you could easily do Connor and Bizarro at the same time.

Tim Drake
12-13-2005, 07:35 PM
At the same time? thats just overkill. How would you explain them having one primative clone like Bizzaro and then one perfect clone like Connor?

This whole thing your proposing reminds me of a Star Trek episode named "Similitude"...an episode that raised the moral question about clone rights and even the deeper question over whether a clone was a real being with a soul, or simply a copy.

I guess your idea could work for one episode IF handled properly and not written as a complete departure from the comics...but it should only be for a one-episode standalone....not an entire arc devoted to this.

Not at all. The same can be said about Schumaccer's Batman movies. They were "different"...very...but it doesnt neccessarily make them good or mean I have to like them.

My person preference is the comics and the source material, thats why I prefered "Batman Begins" which was alot closer to the real stuff than the previous movies.

At this point Im kind of indifferent to Smallville. Its pretty inconsistant with its episodes; meaning there are good ones and bad ones that vary from week to week. The concept itself has potential but I would have enjoyed it more if it did better service to the comics (which to me is the core and root of the Superman mythos).

That being said, this entire rant was just to point out my dislike with the idea of using Connor this early on. Since they arent really doing it, no point to continue this. Hopefully theyll be smart enough not to do it in the long-run.

I once considered the idea of Vic Sage being a paranoid conspiricy theorist at Clark's university who got kicked out for his insane theories....

But "The Question" is a character more closely related to the Batman family. I'd prefer not to use him in this series.

And its way too early to justify bringing in Martian Manhunter! You'd have to totally rework and reinvent that character to make him fit at this point in time, and that would ruin him.

Why would Hal Jordan delay? I dont see a problem with young Hal appearing as a young fighter pilot on earth in General Sam Lane's group....but becoming the GL?

What they could do is have Sinestro appear on Earth as the GL in the episode. Do alot of foreshadowing of him eventually going evil and Hal becoming a GL, but Hal never actually encounters him face to face or becomes the GL at this point...

They could even bring Abin Sur in as an active GL whos temporarily on Earth whos watching Jordon and observes Hal's heroic behavior. Perhaps the writers could rework it so Sur's crash a few years later in Coast City was no random accident, he was looking for Hal.....make it so Hal was chosen long before he assumed the power.

Its a new twist but its similar to Jorel on Earth in Smallville chosing the Kent family.

I'm sorry but you're comparing an animated series with a live-action show. Of course the series can be more faithful, it's animated, a cartoon. You can literally almost take a comicbook story and translate it to animation easily. In most cases it's not the same with live action shows.

Why not? Clark still doesn't know what his destiny is. And although he's faced Brainiac, he hasn't fought a supercharged Brainiac with the intent to kill him. Plus you can hint and tease at a lot, especially with Lois in Smallville.

I'm sorry but you're comparing an animated series with a live-action show. Of course the series can be more faithful, it's animated, a cartoon. You can literally almost take a comicbook story and translate it to animation easily. In most cases it's not the same with live action shows.

Not true. There isnt too much information about young Clark Kent in smallville in the comics so its pretty easy to write your own stuff that works with the show....

However...when that stuff tends to contradict future Superman events established by them...thats problematic.

It wasnt an impossible task to accomplish.

Does Ra's Al Ghul training Bruce Wayne jeopardize any chance of a romance with Talia in the future? I don't think so. Clark having a teenage clone of himself? I don't think so, particularly if the clone is temporary and won't be around forever.

lol The fanwank needs to end. I think that would have made a great story as the season one cliffhanger. Brainiac from the future infecting the past like the computer in T3, trying to kill Clark Kent....

I would have written it as the Legion was under orders not to interfere with events in the past...however, the lesson they learn is to trust instincts over orders. The story takes place the day Jonathan Kent was meant to die from a heart attack. Even though the Legion vowed not to save him while they were there (to stop Brainiac) after getting to know the Kents, they decided to disobey orders and save him...altering history so Jonathan Kent never dies.

In the end, everyone in Smallville's memories are erased of Brainiac and the Legion (thanks to Saturn Girl)...and Jonathan Kent's mysterious recovery is an unexplained miracle....even though Clark's instincts tells him that more happened than he could remember.

Why would that even jeopardize any chance of romance? Obvously something could still happen and end when Bruce realizes who her father is.

However, Im hoping thats avoided since Batman doesnt need romances.

The teenage clone is just a silly idea. What it does is, it makes Cadmus cloning the real Kon-El in the future into a repetitive storyline....

Its better not to bring stuff that isnt even supposed to happen yet into the present fold. Id rather this show try to be more of a prequel than "Ultimate Superman."

No he doesnt. He only survives in the postcrisis timeline.

Smallville is strongly based off the silver-age and the reeve films, if you havent noticed.

But it wasnt even perfected with Kon-El, thats why half of his DNA needed to be a humans...it needed to be Lex's. They wanted to create a Superman clone in the wake of his death....but they ended up getting something else.

And its redux too, for something thats been done to happen again...

I think we should first wait and see whether the character of 'Connor Kent' even survives the Infinite Crisis. Hes one of the candidates to die according to the Wizard article. They may be trying to get rid of him for good....since hes served his purpose in the DCU.

Well I doubt he's going to die considering the Titans Tomorrow storyline shows that he'll be Superman in the future.

Besides, what difference does it make what happens to him? Joe Chill hasn't been used in the comics since the 80s yet they used him in Batman Begins.

Tim Drake
12-14-2005, 11:36 AM
He HAS been used in the modern postcrisis. The only difference is here, Batman doesnt know that 'Joe Chill' truely killed his parents. The name itself could be an alias.

The movie changed that detail, I suppose Nolan prefered the pre-zero hour and pre-crisis interpretation of Chill....however, in the modern comics, Batman will never know the truth (thats how I like it) but Chill still exists.

Okay, continuing...

To add the first part of the "Brother" arc, at the end, the scientists at Cadmus are looking at papers with Connor's stats, and the stats of failed experiments. The camera pans up to reveal a full grown specimen in a tube, even older than Clark, and again it bears a resemblance to him, but not much.

- Second part begins with Clark and Connor walking into the Talon. Connor's been begging Clark to show him how to use his heat vision. (Clark's wearing his blue jeans and t-shirt shirt with the red long sleeve shirt, Connor's wearing the same except for a black t-shirt) Clark tells him he has to focus on something that gets him hot. Ironically, when he says this, Lois comes from the back, since she works there. Connor sees her, and almost instantaneously his heat vision flares up, almost a deja vu of Heat from Season 2. Luckily Connor only starts a small fire.

- At Cadmus, the doctors are ready to release the new specimen. One of them mentions that unlike the others including Connor, they've managed to find a way to control it. Professor Phineas Potter reveals some blue vials filled with liquid made to affect the bloodstream of their new specimen.

- The new clone is released, and he's a little bigger than Clark. It seems to be fine at first. Suddenly he begins to grab himself in pain, his skin color turning pale. A professor notes it's possibly from aging the cells too quickly or from too much blood from the samples and not enough human DNA. The creature attacks one of the scientists, who attempted to wave green kryptonite in front it, with no affect. One swipe from the arm kills the scientist. Potter manages to stab the creature with a needle, its body not strengthened by sunlight yet. The pale creature lays on the lab floor, breathing. The scientists wondering what went wrong. Westfield grabs a phone and calls Luthor.

More to come...

The Sage
12-14-2005, 12:43 PM
- Back at the farm, Connor is helping Clark with his chores. Connor learns how to focus his hearing with Clark teaching him. Clark asks him where is he from, in which Connor replies with he doesn't know, he doesn't remember his childhood. The last thing he remembers is waking up in the lab, and Professor Westfield telling him he saved his life. He also goes over where their powers come from, as well as how kryptonite affects them, all of this Connor learned from the laboratory.

- At Cadmus, Lex looks at the new clone, labeled Bizarro. He wonders what went wrong, the doctors telling him. Luthor wants them to solve the problem and fix it, but he's told there isn't much of the blood samples to test or experiment with. In turn, Lex tells them to find the source. Looking around, he asks where is Connor.

- Clark takes Conner to the Kowachi Caves and talks about Krypton. Connor asks if that's where he's from too. His expression is happiness, thrilled to know he's more than just normal, even human. Clark wonders why, and Connor replies "Why be normal when you can be more? Get rich, become a celebrity..." Clark begins to lecture Connor, but the Kid of Steel tells him to save it, and notes Clark hating being different and tells him to be happy about it.

- Connor asks Clark to tell him more about Krypton, in which a sauntering in Lex replies "What's Krypton?" Clark is shocked, but Connor slyly says "The element on the periodic table. Duh!" Lex pretends to be shocked to see them down in the caves. He asks how did they meet. Clark says Connor came into the Talon and he was trying to talk to Lois. Connor's pager goes off, and he has to leave.

- Lex confronts Clark about Connor looking like him as if they were brothers. Clark is speechless for a moment, and he says stupidly that he doesn't see it. But then again, they say everyone in the world has a twin, Clark says to him.

Thanks guys. :)

Continued...;)

- Connor returns to Cadmus Labs, with Westfield chastising him about where he was. Connor doesn't give direct answers, trying to protect Clark. He meets Bizarro, who's still resting in his tube. His eyelids open, sensing Connor, who says gross.

- Connor is sent to perform tests of strength. Westfield unleashes Bizarro on the city, poised to destroy a CEO of a rival company. At first Bizarro grabs Westfield and attempts to choke him. He falls to the floor, weakened. Potter walks over, holding a blue meteor rock that he just created using the blue liquid. They have a way to control him.

- Bizarro kills the man and his security guards easily and quickly. It makes the Daily Planet frontpage. Chloe drives to Smallville to inform Clark. Both suspect Connor. Connor's in the kitchen talking to Pa Kent. He's getting comfortable around the farm. Clark asks him if he knows what happened. Connor realizes what happened and tells him about the new clone. Clark tells Connor to take him to Cadmus.

- In the main lab, Clark & Connor superspeed in. Clark notes that he couldn't see inside with this x-ray vision. They check everything from files to clipboards. Clark reads something about the blood sample used, yet still is clueless about where it came from. They hear someone coming and sped off. Unfortunately, they were caught off camera. Westfield smiles, realizing he found the source of the blood.

- On the farm, Connor is outside playing with Shelby (yeah I'm using the dog too, that's right :p). Clark talks to the Kents about where Connor came from. Outside, Shelby starts barking continuously, and Connor feels something approaching. He turns around and gets knocked down by a blur that crashes into the Kents' home: Bizarro.

- The creature lunges at Clark and they fight. Connor runs in to join, but Clark tells him to protect his parents. At that moment, Bizarro hurled a huge item at the Kents, Connor gets in the way to protect them. Clark superspeed tackles Bizarro outside and they brawl. The much stronger Bizarro starts winning. Clark suffers from internal bleeding and gets tossed into the grain silo. They fight back and forth, then the fight starts looking like Smith vs Morpheus, with everything Clark doing not working and he gets knocked out. Bizarro grabs him and is gone in a flash.

- At Cadmus, Clark, shirtless, is strapped to a gurney with a tube running from his arm. Right over his head is a kryptonite light shining down on him. Westfield looks at him smiling, saying Clark's blood and the blood sample are a perfect match. He says since the blood is not of human origin, then obviously Clark isn't human. He'll make a great deal of money with this discovery.

- He talks about the serum attempts from Season 3, and how now they've been trying to create clones using the blood. The first batch were made purely from the blood samples, but every clone deteriorated. Finally, they came up with the idea of mixing human DNA to stabilize it, and Westfield used his own for their first experiment. Instead of growing a full adult clone, they tried creating a child, resulting in Connor. The next one was the one behind them the Bizarro, who while more powerful than Connor, was dying slowly due to the rapid aging process.

- Now that he has Clark, Westfield says, he'll harvest every drop of his blood and figure out what went wrong. Connor bursts through the door and tells Westfield to stop. He doesn't, and Connor threatens him, grabbing and slamming him into a wall. Westfield grabs a piece of kryptonite and waves it in front of Connor, weakening him. There's a sad look on Westfield's face as he does this. He releases Bizarro to kill Connor. The creature doesn't obey, and Westfield waves the blue kryptonite.

- Connor manages to move away from Westfield enough to use his heatvision to destroy the bright light shining over Clark. Bizarro knocks the green K out of Westfield's hand in an effort to fight the blue K's effects. Westfield tries to inject the blue fluid in him, but Connor melts the blue K in his hands. Free, Bizarro tosses the scientist.

- Connor helps the weakened Clark to his feet. Bizarro sees both of them and tries to fight them, yet his body starts to give out on him. Clark and Connor use their heat vision on him, his skin not able to handle it in his condition. He's still able to attack them, Clark is even more injured, Connor takes a bruise.

- A beeping noise is heard. Westfield is laying on the ground, holding a detonator. He says they made sure they could control the creature. Connor grabs Clark and begins to leave, but CK tells him to save Westfield too.

- Bizarro blows up, Westfield is left outside for the police. Connor grabs Clark and runs to Smallville.

- At the farm, Connor deals with the news that he's a clone of Clark and doesn't have a past life. He's devastated to the point of saying he doesn't have a soul. Ma Kent tries to cheer him up, saying that by saving Clark and Westfield he proved he's human, more human than most people.

- Later on, Lex arranges for Westfield to be picked up from the police. Westfield tell him "I found the source."

End of the second part.

As far as Hero's goes I'd go with Bruce Wayne . I'd have Wentworth Miller of Prison Break as Bruce Wayne and David Warner as Alfred.

I dont know if anyone has posted this already, and I posted it somewhere else before seeing this, but id like to see Green Lantern on the show. Not a pre Green Lantern or a teen Green Lantern but an adult already been on several missions Green Lantern. His age could be explained by the ring keeping him young.
He could come to Earth on an under cover mission, so he would dress in his civilian cloths, have to hide his power battery, and keep the use of the ring to a minimum. But he could be a real influence on Clark becoming a hero and talk to him about alien life and Earth. Maybe he even visited Krypton.
His clothes are a leather flight jacket, which he almost never takes off, a green/black blad buttoned shirt, and jeans, and his power ring which he doesnt have to hide.

Id also like to see a young Bruce Wayne, and Alfred, visit, it could be during his travels while training to be the Batman. He visits Smallville, his character instantly clashes with Lex. He also meets Clark and while they don't like each other at first, they at least learn to tolerate each others help. Bruce's wardrobe, because Smallville does this with its super hero guest stars, is similar to his comic persona. He wears all black, all the time, he is in constant mourning.

Wonder Woman: a foreign exchange student from a island no ones heard of, Clark discovers she is secretly super strong and fast, and her braclets deflect bullets. He later learns she is from the island of amazons, and was sent to scout the world of man. Donna Troy wears clothes similar to Clark, red, blue, and yellow.

Just ideas, something Id like to see.

For a Bruce/Clark crossover that could even be tied into "Batman Begins" with no confusions, it could show Bruce running away from Gotham, RIGHT after leaving the Falcone and giving up his coat. While on the run, trying to get ahold of the criminal life and understand it better, he could end up in Smallville, working as a small time crook or something, and Clark stops him and the two get into a fight. Yadda yadda yadda, you add on in the middle. In the end, Bruce goes on his way, finishing his journey.

Heres my take on Martian Manhunter,
Clark discovers his presents on Earth, he has been on Earth for some time. His story is revelaed, being the last survivor of his planet Mars. He is a shapeshifter so he rarely, or maybe never, is in his alien form. but if he ever does change into his alien form it is kept to a small amount and maybe in the dark. But his red, and extremely alien, eyes are shown with the green skin around them. He could be either a teen like Clark is meant to be or an older being.
He is also fast, strong, and can levitate. He also has mental telepathy and talks to Clark with his thoughts.
Perhaps he can be clark's mentor, he can apear on and off and since he is a shape shifter his apearence is always different. He comes to Clark in different forms all the time. His first apearnce, or his usual one, is that of his cop alter ego. Maybe he is on the run from the FBI.
Like Smallville does on its show with Aqua Man and Flash, Martian Manhunter wears clothes that are colored to resemble his comic self, navy blue and green.
Just a thought.

I'd rather MM use his 'John Jones' alias to observe Clark in Smallville. Clark meets John Jones but doesnt learn the truth that hes a Martian yet...or learn of his backstory. The episode should be viewed through the commentary and prespective of Jones, an outsider, as he observes Clark and his interactions in Smallville.

Yeagh Green Arrow would be cool, he is another rich kid only he is a sort of activists who sabatoges things and makes rich companies loose money and gets the poor money. I can see him at odds with Lex Corp, and Lex Luther. He could be in Smallville for the same reason Lex was, to start his comapnies branch there, but really its to topple Luther Corps. It would be cool to see a blonde actor wearing all green using a bow and arrow. I see Green Arrow being sort of reckless compared to Clark. but these are just MY ideas, and Im not saying that this is exactly how they should do it or even that its the best way. Its just how I see them and how Id like to see them.

What do you think about him playin Hal, or Kyle? Do you think Hal should be portrayed as a young adult or teen? Or should he be an adult?
Is his character and story too hard to explain for an episode or two on Smallville? Would Hal work as a teen? Would he work better as an adult, or would he be too much for Smallville?

Is his character and story too hard to explain for an episode or two on Smallville? Would Hal work as a teen? Would he work better as an adult, or would he be too much for Smallville?

This is amazing :wow: New actors aspire to be in big Hollywood movies and this kid wants to be Hal Jordan in Smallville. I say give him a shot this is grate. I would love to see Hal and involve him in a military episode as a young rooky pilot for the military. He can even work for Sam Lane :D

Here's hoping for Wonder Woman to make an appearance on Smallville. Here are several plot summaries of some ideas I've had to include Diana in Season 6.

Episode: Amazon
THE AMAZON PRINCESS VS THE MAN OF STEEL - After two Amazons mysteriously die following an encounter with a strange alien creature (from the Phantom Zone) on Themyscira, Queen Hippolyta reluctantly sends her best Amazon after it to track it down and stop it, putting an end to a possible alien invasion. But when Diana enters Man's World and sees Clark use his powers to stop the creature she realizes that he is also an alien and must be stopped as well. It's a Diana vs Clark showdown. Is Clark a match for Diana and her magical weapons!!

Episode: Paradise
LOIS LANE MEETS THE AMAZONS OF PARADISE ISLAND - A small charter plane crashes in the ocean near an uncharted island in the Bermuda Triangle, and its only surviving passenger - Lois Lane washes up on shore and is rescued by a young woman wearing silver bracelets. Diana's mission is simple - return Lois to “Man's World”. But after her recent breakup with Oliver Queen and her Valentine's fiasco with Clark, Paradise is so perfect that Lois may want to stay forever! And what happens when Diana goes to Smallville and meets Clark Kent?

Episode: Princess
PRINCESS DIANA TREATS CHLOE LIKE ROYALTY - Diana, a foreign exchange student with diplomatic status at Metropolis State University majoring in World Economics meets Chloe Sullivan during exam week. Trying to help her new friend forget about the stress of Midterms and her recent break-up with Jimmy Olsen, Diana takes Chloe on a shopping extravaganza ladies night out. But is Diana really who she says she is? It's up to intrepid investigative reporter Clark Kent to dig up the dirt and find out who Chloe's newest best buddy is replacing him!

My vote for Smallville's Amazon Princess, Taylor Cole!

I'd love to see a Green Lantern (preferably Kyle Rayner because I know him best) and that's about it. There seems to have been so many cameos lately (probably to boost ratings) that it's kind of losing it's aura of being special. Episodes with cameos to me are pretty much "must-see events" because I love to see how the character is being portrayed. I would like to see more cameos but I could definitely do without them for a while. Worry about more important things, like Clark somehow getting stuck with a small job at the Daily Planet. :D

Here's my idea for a cameo based on Superboy.

It's an idea that I'm still thinking through, so expect more stuff and maybe changes made as time goes on.

This isn't really for one episode, more so a saga. Maybe the middle part of the season all the way up to towards the end type deal. Haven't divided it up into episodes.

BROTHER

- In a two week time span, several robberies are committed in Metropolis, with the thief being so fast that he's not able to be caught on video camera. Chloe, working at the Daily Planet, informs Clark about it, who automatically suspects Bart(Flash) from Season 4. However, that theory is dismissed when a recent robbery in Metropolis Museum showed that not only was the thief too fast for the camera, but he bent steel bars in order to get to whatever artifact he stole.

- We enter a giant lab labeled Project Cadmus. A group of scientists stand around, taking notes, all looking like they're waiting for someone to return. Out of nowhere, the thief appears. About 15 years old, with a very close resemblance to Clark Kent. His name is Conner.

- They mention his powers, faster than a speeding bullet, able to bend steel, near invulnerability, as well as the abiilty to leap at a great distance. Other senses include x-ray vision, which he can't control. Possibly other latent abilities. Body processes solar energy to produce superhuman abilities.

- Conner is very brash, hates hiding himself and wants to go public, as well as chase women. He eventually will become more sullen.

- The head director of Cadmus is Paul Westfield, who seems to show compassion towards Conner since he was partially responsible for his creation.

- Conner robs the Daily Planet, sent there to remove any incriminating evidence against Cadmus' experiments. He runs into Chloe, who he automatically falls in love with. In mid conversation, a security guard hits Conner from behind with a nightstick, which breaks against him. Conner knocks him out and escapes.

- The founder of Project Cadmus is revealed to be Lex Luthor, who instructs Conner to target the Kent farm and search for an octagonal object.

- Chloe informs Clark that the thief resembles him, and he exhibits most of Clark's powers. In response, CK goes to the FOS and questions if Jor-El has possessed another human being as he did with Kara. His birth father replies no, leaving that mystery unsolved.

- Conner sneaks into the Kent farm, looking for the key in the barn. Clark is in the house but catches the movement with his super-hearing. Running into the barn, the two meet each face to face, with Conner making a snide comment. A battle ensues, tearing the farm apart. Conner does some things that CK can't do, such as leaping high in the air and changing direction in mid-air. Clark blasts Conner with his heat vision, something Conner can't do. Conner finds the key but Clark wrestles him for it. They accidentally knock over the red metal drawers (I hope that's the right terminology), and the piece of kryptonite kept in the farm falls on to the ground. Both Clark and Conner fall, succumbing to the radiation. Clark notices this. The Kents come home, puts the green K back in its box. Clark gets his composure, but realizes Conner is gone, with the key.

- In Metropolis, Conner tries to romance Chloe, who's angry at his actions in Smallville. This leads to Conner and Clark meeting each other without fighting in Metropolis. Conner feels great to open up to someone who isn't wearing a lab coat. He reveals that he was created in Project Cadmus, and tells them that it's part of a LuthorCorp department. Clark emphasizes the importance of the key, which moves Conner to find a way to give it back to him.

- Lex goes to Cadmus for the key, which is in the hands of the scientists. A fire breaks out, the container holding the key is lost in the fire. Conner runs into the lab and saves everyone, but Lex wants the key. Conner hands him the container with a melted metal object. Lex is enraged. While talking to Lex, Conner has the genuine key in his backpocket.

- Conner returns the key to Clark and starts to leave when Clark offers to be his friend, telling him he doesn't have to be alone. At the same time, Clark is telling himself the same question, seeing that he has found a "brother", despite the suspicious origins which aren't revealed as of yet.

- Clark and Conner's interaction would be reminiscent of Bart and Clark, but Conner would talk more about exposing himself to people and cashing in on his powers, with CK doing his usual talk of selfish gain.

- Lex, upon meeting Conner, would be highly suspicious as Conner does resemble Clark.

More to come...when I feel like it. :) :O

- Back at the farm, Connor is helping Clark with his chores. Connor learns how to focus his hearing with Clark teaching him. Clark asks him where is he from, in which Connor replies with he doesn't know, he doesn't remember his childhood. The last thing he remembers is waking up in the lab, and Professor Westfield telling him he saved his life. He also goes over where their powers come from, as well as how kryptonite affects them, all of this Connor learned from the laboratory.

- At Cadmus, Lex looks at the new clone, labeled Bizarro. He wonders what went wrong, the doctors telling him. Luthor wants them to solve the problem and fix it, but he's told there isn't much of the blood samples to test or experiment with. In turn, Lex tells them to find the source. Looking around, he asks where is Connor.

- Clark takes Conner to the Kowachi Caves and talks about Krypton. Connor asks if that's where he's from too. His expression is happiness, thrilled to know he's more than just normal, even human. Clark wonders why, and Connor replies "Why be normal when you can be more? Get rich, become a celebrity..." Clark begins to lecture Connor, but the Kid of Steel tells him to save it, and notes Clark hating being different and tells him to be happy about it.

- Connor asks Clark to tell him more about Krypton, in which a sauntering in Lex replies "What's Krypton?" Clark is shocked, but Connor slyly says "The element on the periodic table. Duh!" Lex pretends to be shocked to see them down in the caves. He asks how did they meet. Clark says Connor came into the Talon and he was trying to talk to Lois. Connor's pager goes off, and he has to leave.

- Lex confronts Clark about Connor looking like him as if they were brothers. Clark is speechless for a moment, and he says stupidly that he doesn't see it. But then again, they say everyone in the world has a twin, Clark says to him.

More to come...

Thanks guys. :)

Continued...;)

- Connor returns to Cadmus Labs, with Westfield chastising him about where he was. Connor doesn't give direct answers, trying to protect Clark. He meets Bizarro, who's still resting in his tube. His eyelids open, sensing Connor, who says gross.

- Connor is sent to perform tests of strength. Westfield unleashes Bizarro on the city, poised to destroy a CEO of a rival company. At first Bizarro grabs Westfield and attempts to choke him. He falls to the floor, weakened. Potter walks over, holding a blue meteor rock that he just created using the blue liquid. They have a way to control him.

- Bizarro kills the man and his security guards easily and quickly. It makes the Daily Planet frontpage. Chloe drives to Smallville to inform Clark. Both suspect Connor. Connor's in the kitchen talking to Pa Kent. He's getting comfortable around the farm. Clark asks him if he knows what happened. Connor realizes what happened and tells him about the new clone. Clark tells Connor to take him to Cadmus.

- In the main lab, Clark & Connor superspeed in. Clark notes that he couldn't see inside with this x-ray vision. They check everything from files to clipboards. Clark reads something about the blood sample used, yet still is clueless about where it came from. They hear someone coming and sped off. Unfortunately, they were caught off camera. Westfield smiles, realizing he found the source of the blood.

- On the farm, Connor is outside playing with Shelby (yeah I'm using the dog too, that's right :p). Clark talks to the Kents about where Connor came from. Outside, Shelby starts barking continuously, and Connor feels something approaching. He turns around and gets knocked down by a blur that crashes into the Kents' home: Bizarro.

- The creature lunges at Clark and they fight. Connor runs in to join, but Clark tells him to protect his parents. At that moment, Bizarro hurled a huge item at the Kents, Connor gets in the way to protect them. Clark superspeed tackles Bizarro outside and they brawl. The much stronger Bizarro starts winning. Clark suffers from internal bleeding and gets tossed into the grain silo. They fight back and forth, then the fight starts looking like Smith vs Morpheus, with everything Clark doing not working and he gets knocked out. Bizarro grabs him and is gone in a flash.

- At Cadmus, Clark, shirtless, is strapped to a gurney with a tube running from his arm. Right over his head is a kryptonite light shining down on him. Westfield looks at him smiling, saying Clark's blood and the blood sample are a perfect match. He says since the blood is not of human origin, then obviously Clark isn't human. He'll make a great deal of money with this discovery.

- He talks about the serum attempts from Season 3, and how now they've been trying to create clones using the blood. The first batch were made purely from the blood samples, but every clone deteriorated. Finally, they came up with the idea of mixing human DNA to stabilize it, and Westfield used his own for their first experiment. Instead of growing a full adult clone, they tried creating a child, resulting in Connor. The next one was the one behind them the Bizarro, who while more powerful than Connor, was dying slowly due to the rapid aging process.

- Now that he has Clark, Westfield says, he'll harvest every drop of his blood and figure out what went wrong. Connor bursts through the door and tells Westfield to stop. He doesn't, and Connor threatens him, grabbing and slamming him into a wall. Westfield grabs a piece of kryptonite and waves it in front of Connor, weakening him. There's a sad look on Westfield's face as he does this. He releases Bizarro to kill Connor. The creature doesn't obey, and Westfield waves the blue kryptonite.

- Connor manages to move away from Westfield enough to use his heatvision to destroy the bright light shining over Clark. Bizarro knocks the green K out of Westfield's hand in an effort to fight the blue K's effects. Westfield tries to inject the blue fluid in him, but Connor melts the blue K in his hands. Free, Bizarro tosses the scientist.

- Connor helps the weakened Clark to his feet. Bizarro sees both of them and tries to fight them, yet his body starts to give out on him. Clark and Connor use their heat vision on him, his skin not able to handle it in his condition. He's still able to attack them, Clark is even more injured, Connor takes a bruise.

- A beeping noise is heard. Westfield is laying on the ground, holding a detonator. He says they made sure they could control the creature. Connor grabs Clark and begins to leave, but CK tells him to save Westfield too.

- Bizarro blows up, Westfield is left outside for the police. Connor grabs Clark and runs to Smallville.

- At the farm, Connor deals with the news that he's a clone of Clark and doesn't have a past life. He's devastated to the point of saying he doesn't have a soul. Ma Kent tries to cheer him up, saying that by saving Clark and Westfield he proved he's human, more human than most people.

- Later on, Lex arranges for Westfield to be picked up from the police. Westfield tell him "I found the source."

End of the second part.

I mean, since we're bumping. :cwink:

No WW on Smallville.

But that Taylor Cole manip is good, she needs star spangled panties though.

This is just my opinion here, but my view...she NEVER needs star spangled panties. I know, that by this point her costume is too iconic to mess with, but seriously...

A) She's not American...so why so proudly display such an obvious American motif?
B) It doesn't match the rest of the costume...i.e. the red and gold...the top and bottom parts of her costume are two completely different color schemes and aren't very cohiesive.

If anyone needs a costume overhaul, it's WW.

But as I said...just my opinion.

Brainiac 2009
02-13-2007, 12:26 PM
Well, its classic stuff. If the new film is set in WW2 (as I hope) they should keep them.

Besides, her costume needs that blue tone to contrast all the red and gold.

Someone mentioned at the Comic Con
That since its an alternate reality anyway
That Bruce Wayne should make an appearence at the end of the series.
Maybe Bruce comes into Metropolis in the last season.

We would see him interact with Lex and Clark. Maybe even show Bruce in his early stages of being a vigilantee (in his Batmanless costume).

it could even end with Bruce and Clark shaking hands at the end (the beginning of a powerful friendship)
The End.


I mean why not, its an alternate reality anyway. So its not the comic or the movie. Why not let Batman, and others like Wonder Woman be on the show?

08-10-2007, 03:37 PM
Yeah, too bad.

Here is what I thought would be great for the last season:

Wonder Woman has already made an appearence on the show in the previous season. Also in the previous season Lois and Clark, after a season of flirting finally get together at the season finally.

The final season could start with Lois and Clark finally dating.
Bruce Wayne comes to town. He hides his identity for a while, he is on his travels around the world. Training with fighters and theives.
His butler Alfred joins him.
Maybe Brucce is also planning on buying out Lex or something, once he sees how evil and dangerous him being in charge can be.
Bruce and Clark don't get along, like oil and water.
Bruce wears gear (like the body armor in Batman Begins pre-Bat suit).
He is just starting his vigilanteeing.
Maybe he is the one who pushes Clark towards being a Superhero.

Ends with Clark and Bruce taking down some great evil,
Like Lex's armor of Superman clones,
then they shake hands.


Nothing concrete, just stuff I would like to see.

I think they should end the show already though.

They would be really good, artistsean....i really think that the SERIES finale should be like the "justice" episode with victor stone(cyborg), aquaman, and green arrow...and perhaps a vigilante appearance of bruce wayne...or just a season finale.

personally, i think they should just stick with the flash, cyborg, green arrow(maybe add green lantern and bruce wayne), and then make some continuation of prior episodes like cloe's mother or the kid tobias...
whatever they do and whoever they add they better continue their story...

Have John Henry Irons on SV! He could be a student at Metropolis University studying enginerring. He teams up with Clark to stop Lex from manufacturing a weapon called a "toastmaster" that John unknowingly help Lex designed.

This guy would be perfect for the part.

John Henry Irons would be good but the actor you suggested for him is crap.

Hes already been on SV twice and was killed once by Bow Wow. And hes like a midget..

Irons is a tall dude (they went as far to have Shaq playing him at one point).

Have Shaq guest star on Smallville as Steel, he hasn't had any roles in forever, I bet they could get him.

1. John Henry Irons aka Steel (I don't know who should play him.)
2. Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman (I think she should be played by Megan Fox:heart: )
3. Hal Gordon aka Green Lantern (I think he should be played by Kevin Zegers

I never even thought about that, but it would be cool. A decendent of Clark, coming back in time to help him with something from the future too, but also letting him know that he has a heritage that goes on and that he should be proud of.

Al and Miles said they could use the Legion characters. Theres some restriction in place.

I think they said this at the Jules Verne festival.

I would die to see Mon-EL & the Legionnaires travel back in time to help out Smallville. Do a good enough job, CW could and/or should spin off a Mon-EL version to replace Smallville, after the show run it's course.

They've got some of the Justice League of America (Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, Aquaman and The Flash.)

What if they got Kevin Zegers as Green Lantern, Steel, and Wonder Woman. Maybe Hawkwoman?

Hal Jordan - wears a green sweater and black pants (played by Kevin Zegers)

John Henry Irons - a colledge student studying how to be a mechanic (played by ??????)

Diana Prince - wears a tiara-like scunchi, red sexy tank top, with short blue shorts, red boots (played by Megan Fox)

What about Hawkwoman in Smallville? She can be played by Emma Watson.

About Wonder Woman in Smallville, what if Lex terrorizes a forest in her home and she gets mad and Clark tries to stop her. In an episode she can be a princess. When she first meets Clark, she uses her look-alike ordinary braclets as heat-ray shields.

That's what I think. Dang, I did a lot of typing for this. lol!

Actually he's a character created by Marvel back in the seventies. His books are usually crude and very humerous.

He's been a pervy duck since the 70's. His schtick was that he was a complete pervert jerkwad tool of a duck that somehow always ended up doing the heroic thing while shacking up with human chicks.

But the comic was always geared toward adults, and wasn't meant for kids. Too much dark crude humor throughout.

About as much as anything that came out of the 80's.

That era was fun...but the cheese factor was high. I mean look at what came out of it:

Big Hair
Synth music
Flock of Seagulls
Kevin Bacon in Footloose
Men Without Hats
Garbage Pail Kids
New Kids on the Block
Vanilla Ice
The Moonwalk

I love the eighties, but wow did it inspire a decade of cheese.:csad: :O

It was a critical and commercial bomb in a huge way...

It only got 19% on the Rottentomatoes fresh-o-meter (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/howard_the_duck/).

That's bad.

Other superheroes:
Mighty Mouse! NOT as someone for Clark to fight - that would be painful. Have one of the characters watch a Mighty Mouse cartoon or wear a t-shirt or have a poster in his/her room.

Scenario idea:
Clark (finally!) visits Pete, who is now living in an apartment or a college dorm rather than with his mom. When Clark arrives (or wakes up one morning while staying there), Pete is watching Mighty Mouse. He gets up, greets Clark with a big smile, slaps him on the arm and says, "Hey, wouldn't it be COOL to be able to fly like that? The cape, the girl, ..." [brief pause as camera on Clark's face shows that he's not sure how to answer that] "Wait a minute, Clark - you can, can't you?! I *knew* it!"

Clark can honestly answer "no" at this point if it's early in the season...

Here's hoping for Wonder Woman to make an appearance on Smallville. Here are several plot summaries of some ideas I've had to include Diana in Season 6.

Episode: Amazon
THE AMAZON PRINCESS VS THE MAN OF STEEL - After two Amazons mysteriously die following an encounter with a strange alien creature (from the Phantom Zone) on Themyscira, Queen Hippolyta reluctantly sends her best Amazon after it to track it down and stop it, putting an end to a possible alien invasion. But when Diana enters Man's World and sees Clark use his powers to stop the creature she realizes that he is also an alien and must be stopped as well. It's a Diana vs Clark showdown. Is Clark a match for Diana and her magical weapons!!

Episode: Paradise
LOIS LANE MEETS THE AMAZONS OF PARADISE ISLAND - A small charter plane crashes in the ocean near an uncharted island in the Bermuda Triangle, and its only surviving passenger - Lois Lane washes up on shore and is rescued by a young woman wearing silver bracelets. Diana's mission is simple - return Lois to “Man's World”. But after her recent breakup with Oliver Queen and her Valentine's fiasco with Clark, Paradise is so perfect that Lois may want to stay forever! And what happens when Diana goes to Smallville and meets Clark Kent?

Episode: Princess
PRINCESS DIANA TREATS CHLOE LIKE ROYALTY - Diana, a foreign exchange student with diplomatic status at Metropolis State University majoring in World Economics meets Chloe Sullivan during exam week. Trying to help her new friend forget about the stress of Midterms and her recent break-up with Jimmy Olsen, Diana takes Chloe on a shopping extravaganza ladies night out. But is Diana really who she says she is? It's up to intrepid investigative reporter Clark Kent to dig up the dirt and find out who Chloe's newest best buddy is replacing him!


My vote for Smallville's Amazon Princess, Taylor Cole!

Good WW arc, but if she appeared on SV, she'd looked more like Donna Troy. And this girl should play Diana on the show.

Episode: Lantern
A boy named Hal Jordan is visiting Smallville. When Lana and Clark meet together for a date, they drive to a resturant. As the two were walking by a group of gangsters (in the parking lot), one gangster was wearing a kryptonite necklace and beats Clark and threatens Lana. As Hal walks by, he sees the gangsters. Using his ring, he saves Lana. As Clark and Lana thank him, he runs off. Meanwhile, the resturant's security camera's see the ring in Hal's hand. The owner tells his friend, Lex Luther. Lex then tries to get his men to find him. As the men almost found him, he ran off to Clark's farm. There, they talked about Hal's origin. Then, as Hal leaves, the men found him, held something yellow, and trapped him. As he was held in Luthercorp Labs, Lex thnreatens him to get his ring. Hal disagrees and gets tortured. As Clark hears he's missing, he rushes to find him. He then finds out he's at Lutrhercorp. As Lex and his men go away, Clark sneaks in and helps Hal. The two then go out to the barnhouse and talk. Hal teels Clark that Lex has another plan and tells Clark its about him. Then Hal goes back home.

Who will play Hal Jordan? Kevin Zegers?

Episode: Hawk
A girl named Shiera Hall comes to Smallville, running from Dr. Anton Hastor and has the power to fly with wings of a hawk. As she runs, she finds the Kent Fram and sleeps there. As Clark learns she is sleeping there, the two talk about her origin. They then become friends. As Clark dates Lana and leaves Shiera with Chloe, Dr. Hastor tracks her down and attacks Chloe and Shiera. Dr. Hastor then kidnaps Shiera and takes her to Lex, who was behind all this. She learns that Lex and Anton were friends. As she was trpped, she uses a hammer and breaks out. She then uses the hammer to get past the bodygaurds. As the hammer is taken away from her. Clark, who finds her at Luthercorp, helps her get out. She then thanks Clark and flies home.

Emma Watson as Hawk girl

Green Lantern has yet to come.

I would like to see a young John Henry Irons aka Steel.

And I don't know if anybody else has mentioned this...but how about the rest of the Teen Titans? Exclude Robin since the Batman mythology isn't addressed in Smallville.

Beast Boy

Raven

Starfire

Hey, if Cyborg can do it...

Plus, if they have the budget for all their powers...I'd say do it.
