Smallville is not meant to be a retelling of the comic book universe, it is its own incarnation...a re-imagination!! Supergirl has her place on the show just like every other DC hero or villain that Clark has met already. Kara should be no different.

So she's slightly older than she's suppose to be, but I guess we will see the maturity difference between her and Clark due to her lack of exposure to human life on Earth. She will still be very immature (her age would be the only thing that makes her 19).

In reference to 'Kara' from the season 3 finale...I don't think they forgot about her. Even in that episode they made a point of stating that she was not the real Kara and only embodied her essence. Jor-El obviously knew that Zor-El had a daughter, Kara, and used that as a tool to manipulate Clark.

Don't make me write another joke script... please... two is enough!

CLOCKWORK SMALLVILLE

Kara straps Clark down to a chair in the basement facing a projection screen.

Clark struggles to get free as he looks at screen in front of him, twitching afraid.

CLARK: What are you doing?!!!

KARA: Open your eyes Kent. Wider!!!

Kara violently shoves Clark's eyes open and places a eye-restrainer over his eyes... think Clockwork Orange.

CLARK: Why?

KARA: They want you to fly...

Kara presses play and a video tape of heroes flying through New York City play on the screen.

CLARK (afraid): What is this?

KARA: Your future.

All of a sudden Rob Scneider appears on the project footage, staring directly at Clark.

ROB: You can do it!

Moments later... Clark flies through Metropolis, having the time of his life.

CLARK: I'm doing it!

Adam Sandler looks up to see Clark flying through the clouds.

ADAM: Look, it's a bird... it's a plane...

Christopher Walken

CHRIS: No. It's just some screw loose teenager who thinks he can fly. If you want to see flying, you have to go up the stair way of heaven and then once there you... oh hell, I'm Batman's corporate enemy... ally? What am I doing here?

No mind control, no overly sentimental scenes, no 'forceful' flight either... just have him learn it with Kara's help. He has the potential already- we've seen him semi-fly twice so far (I believe)...

 

[04nbod]

Maybe Kara will fix that and be like this

Kara: "Dude, you don't have to be brain washed to fly."
Clark: "Really?"
Kara: "Try it."
Clark starts hovering
Clark: "Whoa!"
Kara rolls her eyes
Kara: "Ugh, loser. Took you this long to try it?"
Clark lowers head in shame

awesome- you write the script,that is how he should fly.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Why? She's Canadian. It'd be easy for her. Actually scratch that she's from the town I'm from. (London, Ontario) I saw her at the movies a couple weeks ago.

 

[Marcus M.]

Am I the only one who thinks that it sucks, that she's a year younger than Clark and has less experience on earth than Clark, but she can fly and he can't?
Also they forgot to mention that that they also had a version of mister Mxyzptlk on the show. Some dude from eastern Europe named Mikail Mxyzptlk. What did any of you guys think of that verion of Mxyzptlk? Do any of you consider that a real live-action version of a superman villian on smallville or do you guys see that Mxyzptlk as being so far from the comic version, that you consider it just some made up character, that they just slapped the name Mxyzptlk on?

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Mxyzptlk? wtf is that?

 

[Mike_D202]

Clark was too busy stalking/obsessed with Lana and running away from his alien DNA to even let his powers come to him at full-force.

As stated, an actress of Rachel McAdams' calibur should not do a tv series, no matter how great the show is! For starters, it wll cut into her film career. There are tv stars and movie stars (yes there are 2 seperate groups!). There are times when tv stars will do a movie or 2, but they are still tv stars. When an 'big' actress becomes a series regular on a tv show, her film career is pretty much gone.

Good choice in terms of her acting ability and her look, but if we plan to cast someone, we may need to look at actresses who have not made it big in Hollywood films and maybe look at cancelled/failed/ended tv shows (which does not mean that the actress was bad my any means).

Mxyzptlk? wtf is that?

the eastern european (hottie) in jinx, series 4
in the comics

 

[Tempest19]

Mxyzptlk? wtf is that?

Large post in spoiler tags contains information about Mxyzptlk as well as pictures of his various incarnations (comics, cartoons and SV).

Spoiler

"Mister Mxyztplk" [məksɪtzpʌlk] (as his name was originally spelled, originally pronounced mux-ITZ-pulk [məksɪtzpəlk] according to the title Superman Family) was introduced as an imp from the fifth dimension. Not being bound by our physical laws, he could do things that seemed to be magical. In his first appearance, Mxyztplk wreaked havoc across Metropolis by using his powers to pull all manner of pranks. What's more, he destroyed Superman's worldview of himself. Mxyztlpk jumped out a window, causing Superman to think Mxyztlpk was committing suicide. Mxyztplk was not. An astonished Superman exclaimed "I — I thought I was the only man who could fly!!". Mxyztplk soon told Superman that he was a jester in his home dimension, explaining why he used his powers to play practical jokes.


Originally, Mxyzptlk had designs on conquering the planet for himself, but soon settled for tormenting Superman whenever he got the opportunity. His only weaknesses were that he could not stand being ridiculed and if he said or spelled his name backwards, Kltpzyxm (kil-tip-zee-zim [kɪltɪpzizɪm]), he was involuntarily sent back to his home dimension for a minimum of 90 days. Mxyzptlk would often look for ways to counter the latter weakness, but he always proved gullible enough for Superman to trick him time and time again. In the Golden Age, saying "Kltpzyxm" would not only bring Mxy back to the fifth dimension, but would bring anyone else saying it to the fifth dimension. To return back to his/her home dimension, one had to say his/her name backward.


Mxyztplk appeared originally as a small bald man in a purple suit, green bow tie and purple derby hat. This was changed to a futuristic looking orange outfit with purple trim in the mid-1950s, although the hat remained. At around this time the spelling of Mxyztplk's name changed (by mistake) to "Mxyzptlk".


Superman himself decided to turn the tables and visit the 5th dimension, making trouble for the imp, who was running for mayor. When Myxzptlk furnished a huge supply of food for prospective voters, he said, "Eat up, folks, the food's on me!" Superman used super-breath to blow the food all over the imp and then chortled to the voters, "Like he said, folks--the food is on him!" The imp tried to get the Man of Steel to say "Namrepus," but that didn't work; Superman banished himself back to Earth by saying "Le-Lak"--his Kryptonian name backwards.

There's my comic book lesson of the day. t:

How can you hide that beautiful man begind spoiler tags!

Never! Besides that ship has sailed and shell prolly have her hands full being third wheel to Jimara

 

[Tempest19]

That could be a good choice, all I know is that Kara needs to be HOT!

You can literally sense that if this picture was in live action, we would all be- Having a different kind of fangasm.

 

[Katsuro]

Man, remember when this show used to be the telling of Clark Kent's early years? They've turned it into basically a Superman show without the costume. Jeez, by the time this guy actually puts on the cape and tight's he'll have faced every bad guy there is to face.

It's getting ridiculous, this thing should've finished long ago.

 

[04nbod]

i'd copyright that quick k-site will nab it if you don't

 

[Mike_D202]

didn't jeph loeb work on smallville? i think its a massive honour they chose his version to work with ahead of the pre-crisis version

 

[Eddie Brock]

So Season 7 is already AMAZING!!

Darn it, Clark, get Kara to teach you how to fly!

 

[Cmill216]

I don't know what to make of this, so I'm just going to smile and nod.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I'm Super Excited .

 

[Strange]

Maybe she is only going to be on for a couple of shows and then Bizzaro kills her.

Official Press Release:

SUPERGIRL FLIES INTO "SMALLVILLE" DC COMICS' SUPERHEROINE JOINS THE CAST​

BURBANK, CA (June 11, 2007) - Look, up in the sky: it's a bird, it's a plane! It's...Supergirl! This fall, Supergirl will be joining the lineup of burgeoning superheroes and villains in SMALLVILLE. Supergirl is the latest DC Comics character to join the series that has previously welcomed Martian Manhunter, The Green Arrow, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Brainiac. Casting for the Supergirl role is currently underway. SMALLVILLE airs on Thursdays at 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.

On SMALLVILLE, the seventh season premiere kicks off with the arrival of Supergirl, whose name is Kara, as Clark's (Tom Welling) 19-year-old cousin. She was born on Krypton and is the daughter of Zor-El, Jor-El's brother. Kara possesses all of Clark's powers and one he doesn't yet have ?? she can fly! Kara also has a strong, rebellious streak that puts her at odds with Clark, and puts her onto Lex's (Michael Rosenbaum) radar. In addition, she takes a romantic interest in Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore).

"One of the joys of creating SMALLVILLE has been our ability to reinvent and reinterpret classic DC Comics characters," said SMALLVILLE executive producer Al Gough. "Miles and I believe that Supergirl will give our series the mythic jolt that it needs as we head into our seventh season."

Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, SMALLVILLE was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon," "Spider-Man 2"), based on the DC Comics characters. Gough and Millar serve as executive producers, along with Ken Horton, Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer, James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

No, she's nineteen, but mentally and physically sixteen.

The way I see her flying being introduced is like so:

Clark and Kara are racing but ol' Kent is faster then she is, she throws a fit when she realizes she cannot catch up to him and then decides to just fly. While Clark knows deep inside he can probably fly too he'll ignore the power because of his 'fear of heights'.

I honestly don't ever expect him to fly until the finalé, if not the last batch of episodes where he really needs to fly to save somebody.
