It's not from the creators, it's from the current showrunners. The taint of Smallville still clings to them like a needy 4-year-old, though.
I've suspected as much but haven't been masochistic enough to actually watch it to find out.
BC look was fine, is just ridiculous to pretend it has to be 100% like the comics, not even Nolan's Batman is. Wait, even in the comics looks change, oops!![]()
And thank goodness TPTB are allowed to change her look a bit, cause her comic book look is quite skimpy.
Phil Morris is awesome--that's one thing Smallville got right, casting an awesome actor for an awesome character--but imagine how much more awesome he would've been if he were green! At least for a little while, like after someone strong punched him in the face and he lost his concentration or something. Calling a dude J'onn J'onzz just isn't the same as seeing him actually be all green and Martiany.
Yeah, the first thing I noticed was her chicken-legs.
That's part of Smallville's main redeeming qualities. Or, six main redeeming qualities: John Glover, Michael Rosenbaum, Annette O'Toole, John Schneider, James Marsters, and Phil Morris. Great actors who played their parts as brilliantly and brought as much justice to them as they could with what they had to work with.
crying a river about looks, suits or whatever is ridiculous.
In the comics they've changed many things through out the years with these characters (origins, suits, powers...) but then shows or movies can't touch anything? That's just idiotic and shows a lot of mediocrity, producers and writers are not going to repeat the same stories for decades without changing anything, people get tired of it, so change is needed to keep it "fresh". Don't like the changes? Ok, then keep reading the same old classics or watch your favorite animated series, crying a river about looks, suits or whatever is ridiculous.
