Batman References in Smallville

[mDrFkRjRm]

1. Gotham City
In season 6 episode 5 (Reunion), Oliver Queen's friend Geoffrey says he has to return to Gotham right before he gets in his limo. It then explodes.

2. The Narrows
In season 7 episode 19 (Quest), the aerial shot of The Narrows from Batman Begins was shown. It can be seen after the part where Clark and Chloe went to the hospital to look for Lex but finds out that he already left.

smallville

batman begins

 

[superboy13]

They also reused that same shot last year, but I don't remember the episode right now.

 

[Syncos]

Hydro I believe. It was at least mentioned.

 

[superboy13]

It was the episode where Jimmy took some pictures of Lex doing something in a limo. I remember it was raining.

YES! It was Fallout!

 

[Lighthouse]

Wow, its amazing what a filter can do.

 

[b24]

^^ yes they used same shot since smallville is backed up by WB

i won't mind if batmn begins and smallville are set up in same universe

maybe have have bruce wayne appear on the show (bfeore he was batman) and how he meets oliver queen and clark

but sadly this will NEVER hapnne

 

[The Caped Knight]

While they used the nickname The Boy Billionaire to describe Oliver Queen in The Daily Planet article in "Siren". Is actually one of the nicknames The Press use to describe Bruce Wayne in the comics .

some more:
in s07e15 - Veritas, when Lionel Luthor is confronted by Lois and Jimmy regarding the death of Patricia Swan, Lionel says, “Now if that is all from the dynamic duo, security will be very happy to help you find your way out.” This is an obvious reference to Batman and Robin.

s05e20
Chloe quoted: “Riddle me this: how does an assassin get in a completely sealed room without being seen?” (riddler reference)

Corto Maltese
In the episodes "Justice" and "Combat", both from the sixth season of the television series Smallville, the name is referenced as being a site of Luthorcorp's 33.1 lab.
The name appears in Frank Miller's graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns as the name of an island at the centre of an incident not unlike the Cuban missile crisis. The choice of name is apparently an inside joke as Miller has stated he is a great admirer of Pratt's work. Miller also dedicated the Sin City one-shot Silent Night to the memory of Pratt, who died a few months prior. The Corto Maltese islands has been occasionally referenced in other DC Comics since.
In the 1989 film Batman, "Corto Maltese" was referenced as the location of a violent uprising where Vicki Vale had been working as a photojournalist.

Ras-algul meeting Lex would've been intresting since both belive they are rightfully protecting humanity and they belive they are doing right thing

and i know know batman technically won't be on smallville but can't they make reference to bruce wayne

i mean they already mentioned gotham city in sesaon 6

how about oliver queen mentionning about "this rich millionair from gotham city Bruce wayne"

or something like that

Adam Knight

You liked him?

I did like the first few episodes until they turned him into a meteor freak.

Oh no, absolutely not!

He's one of the reasons I think Season 3 is the show's worst. His whole relationship with Lana was ridiculous.

Oh, thank goodness.

*wipes brow*

I was worried there for a bit...



I LOATHED most of the 3rd season for a lot of reasons, I'm completely mystified that some mark it as their favorite, but he probably is one of the major things wrong with that season.

I don't blame Ian Assholder one bit for being bitter for the way his character turned out, but he's a graceless ass for airing that bitterness to the public.

 

[Cmill216]

^ Wait, what did he say??

 

[triplet]

^ Wait, what did he say??

Oh, he's an ass.

When Lost was so popular the first season he gloated in the press about how well it was doing. He could hardly contain his joy at being a part of such a successful show and he actually mentioned Smallville by name in comparison...

Ungratful bastard.



I was so happy when he got killed at the end of that season. Karmic payback is a serious female dog.



He then talked about how bitter he was with Lost after that and he's gotten no serious work since.

He did do a play off-off-broadway that was designed by a lighting designer that Mr. Triplet once worked with so he helped me get within two degrees of seperation of Tom, but then I did better than that when I became MellyM's friend (she'd met him) and when Craig finally talked to him during the filming of Veritas.

Now I'm only one degree seperated.

Of course Mel is a better person for that since I've actually met her in person.



Craig I've only traded sometimes heated emails with.



And yeah, sometimes its the little things that make me happy.

When *Heroes was so popular...

* Lost.

 

[triplet]

* Lost.

Sorry, I've been drinking a bit... I should probably go to bed.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Jimmy mentions Arkhum Asylum during his first scene with lex on the Season Finale. WATCH FOR IT!

 

[RakuMon]

How great was that Dark Knight TV spot? In HD no less!!!

 

[NotFadeAway]

Oh, thank goodness.

Someone needs to put this writing team in there place.
