Okay, I voted. But some of those questions are hard to answer given the facts we currently know. For example, I NEVER would have added Supergirl to the show, EVER, but that doesn't mean I'd want her to die at the end of SV, lose her powers, or not be a blood relative to Clark. Fact is, she IS Clark's cousin from Krypton. And she's on the show. Oh well. I'll deal.
As to the JLA characters, I'd just as soon not see them come back in S7, but that doesn't mean I don't like them. I thought the Justice episode last year was the best, but I'd rather the show focus on CLARK KENT specifically. They can elaborate on JL characters in a film. *cough*
For such a film, I'd want the big seven profiled. As great an actor as Lee Thompson Young and Justin Hartley were, Cyborg and Green Arrow aren't a part of the original seven JL members. So I think they should recast, with the exception of Welling of course, 'cause he just IS Superman. Full stop.
I think Rosenbaum is the best live action Lex Luthor ever, but I'd rather see a much more nefarious threat require the JL's attention in a JL film. That said, if they were to cast him in the pic, I wouldn't complain. Maybe a cameo?
On the "end it now or go S8" question, I'm greedy. I want my cake and I want to eat it too. If I could have SV *and* JL, of COURSE I'd want that. But if they HAVE to end SV after S7 in order to get Welling into a JL film, pffttt... okay. Make it happen, Riker. It's been seven years. I want to see Clark/Welling finally BE Superman, cape and all. 'Cause they're only delaying the inevitable with side stories about characters I really don't care about at this point.
Hope that helps.

1. Should Tom become Superman in the JLA?
Absolutely. Tom IS Superman.
2. Should the other Smallville JL members star in JLA?
No...they're too young. Besides, Cyborg should not be in the movie JLA line-up. Save him for Teen Titans.
3. I think it was a mistake to have Supergirl in Smallville.
Absolutely not. Bear in mind, by having Supergirl, we're directing attention back to Clark and his heritage. And that's always a good thing.
4. Supergirl shouldn't be Clark's "blood" relative.
Yes, she should be. She always has been, and she always will be.
5. It's better that there's only one Kryptonian left.
True, but they've already broken the rules in the comics. Why not in Smallville?
6. Supergirl should die at Season's end.
To what point and purpose? No...there's no reasonable justification for killing her.
7. Supergirl should lose her powers forever at Season's end.
Refer to answer #6.
8. Like a lot of series that end up as movies, Smallville should end up as the JLA.
No. I like Smallville's JLA, but I want to see a more adult version on the big screen. Besides, there are too many continuity issues (Clark without glasses?) to make a Smallville or Smallville-based movie.
9. We need Bruce Wayne in this Season.
No. It doesn't matter anyway because it'll never happen, but no. Black Canary on the other hand...
10. It would be stupid to have an entirely new cast for JLA.
No. Once again, the real JLA should be older and more like their comic book counterparts.
11. Should Clark get the suit in Season 7?
If Season 7 is the final one, then yes. He should get it in the last episode.
12. Yes, he should get the suit but not wear it.
Why?
13. If Tom isn't in the JLA movie, then at series' end, he should get the suit.
Regardless of his participation - or lack thereof - in the movies, he should get the suit in the final episode. We fans have paid our dues.
14. Should Michael (as Lex) be in JLA?
It depends on who they cast as Superman. Rosenbaum might be too young for JLA...but he's the best Lex I've ever seen.
15. Would you like Braniac back in Season 7?
Sure. He was a good villain.
16. Would you like Clark to fly in Season 7?
It would be nice, but I'm smart enough not to get my hopes up.
17. Laura Vandervoort is hot, but Supergirl is wrong for Smallville.
The first part is true. The second part? Not so much. Nothing that delves into the comic mythos is bad for Smallville.
18. Do you want the Flash back in Season 7?
I expect it. But I'm not reading any spoilers (or very few) so I don't know if they intend on bringing the JL back.
19. Do you want Aquaman back in Smallville?
Refer to answer #18.
20. Should they do an entire episode of Kryptonian flashback?
Not a whole episode...but most of an episode would be nice.
21. Green Arrow should return.
Refer to answers #18-19.
22. Lex should know who Clark is once and for all...no questions asked.
No...that should not happen so soon.
23. If there's no JLA (for Tom and Michael), we need a future episode of Superman and Lex.
Not necessarily. But the Series Finale should flash forward to the Superman years...even if it's only for a minute or so.
24. Batman in Season 7.
Didn't we already go over this? Refer to answer #9.
25. No Season 8 - end it now.
Yes. I see a slowly declining trend in quality...plus, Rosenbaum isn't coming back next year...and he's one of the few shining jewels left.
Absolutely. Tom IS Superman.
2. Should the other Smallville JL members star in JLA?
No...they're too young. Besides, Cyborg should not be in the movie JLA line-up. Save him for Teen Titans.

Or the "I'm happy that Supergirl in on SV." You can't just offer your own personal opinions in a poll...you have to give every possible option.

I would LOVE to see MR just have a cameo in the JLA film. Maybe right in the beginning where theyre intro-ing all of the members you see Supes (Tom) picking him up and dropping him off at jail or something. Like a 5 second scene but it would be beyond awesome

If Michael "God All Mighty" Rosenbaum is in Season 8. I am all for it.
Since that is not going to happen - I say no.
(and of course what I say goes)
