Yeah they wanted to use Captain Marvel, they just couldn't get the rights to him according to an Ask Ausiello from October:

“Chloe is going to meet a new hero who is not all that he’s cracked up to be.” Will this hero be carrying a DC Comics certificate of authenticity? “I don’t think we got the rights to his name cleared,” says Souders

yea billy you have to remember to have certain characters like for example green arrow, martian manhunter, etc..... they have to get the ok from wb features/dc comics, and if they dont get the ok on that they either cant use the character at all or they alter plans to be something else. It blows at times, and this is one of the reasons why we also dont have batman or ww on the show at all.

#smallville "conspiracy" draws 2.54 million viewers

Nice to see the show go out on its last new episode for a month on strong numbers. Good for Smallville. Now all i want is season 10 confirmation.

Can't say I am suprised. The show has basically been off for 4 weeks(the last 3 of those not even as much as a repeat), minimal promotion plus putting it back on a holiday weekend.

 

[TheJock]

Below 2 million? OUCH! put ice on that burn
So much for Couple Retreat.
Lana and Lex won`t come to the rescue now

 

[Webhead2006]

yea was low but hey still above 2.0 mark which is nice. But yea a month break with no reruns, not many promos and it being easter weekend probably wasnt that good for it. But i am sure the last 6 episodes will probably end up getting back to the above 2.4million mark we had for most of the season. Also the live +7 numbers will probably at least bump it up to the 2.4 average mark.

Yeah the break had a lot to do with it................but..............................this episode, though it was Zod heavy, seemed to be a filler. I'm not really liking the Zod story. I'd rather them bring in Darkseid because this season's arc just isn't cutting it for me.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it was a bit of a filler episode, but we did see some good stuff going on in the relationship stuff. The next 6 episodes should be more storyline driven since they will be packing on the whole checkmate plotline for the remaining episodes.

 

[Docker2.0]

Their relationship makes no sense! I mean, she loves Superman not Clark Kent. That's why Smallville will have a really hard time explaining how Superman comes on the scene and the world forgets about the blur, if they ever get that far. But hopefully next season is the last and WB will give them full access to the DCU to tell their story.

Not sure what Superman comic you're reading, but it's always been she has a school-girl crush on Superman, but loves Clark.

 

[Prison Mike]

maybe the public will know that Superman and The Blur are one and the same.

 

[Docker2.0]

Unless you are talking about something new, she started out like Superman and maybe Clark later but in the beginning it was always about Superman, nothing about Clark at all.

Oh dear god thank u! i thought i was the only one not diggin' this season's overall storyline at all. It's painful cause i've enjoyed this show so much since it started, but this season just hasnt done it for me at all.

 

[Webhead2006]

well i myself have enjoyed zod/kandorians so far this season. As for the blur/superman thing. Like others have pointed out they will probably go by zod starts doing bad things under the blur's name. To sway the public opinion on him. So clark has to stop zod and fix his public image. Which goes to blur name changing and him returning to a red/blue look and all that.
