What I ask happens to be the title of this topic: what superhero, or superheroes, do you want to see before Smallville ends after its eighth and final season come 2009? It can be one, or even three, choices. I only ask for 1-3, no more. I'll go first.
For me, I would pick (keep in mind, they are not ranked):
1) Wonder Woman
It would be really cool to have her on. I know the rights have been tied since they tried to have her on the show before, but I believe there are two things that could her bring her on: her in the JLA movie, and her DTV animated movie. It would be nice to have an episode that could be use as some sort of tie-in toward one of those (the DTV mostly). As for the Smallville version of her; because of the "Themysciran Queen visits Pope" newspaper, I could see her as a politicians daughter on the show who meets Clark. How? I don't know but it is rumored that Clark will get a job at the Daily Planet either at the very end of this, or sometime in the next, season. So if that's the case, he could meet her while reporting on Diana's mother. And she would wear his costume which would probably be a battle armor version of it (like Donna Troy's OYL version). Maybe Clark and Diana battle Ares, and the Smallville version of Ares could be very similar to the DCAU version.
2) Green Lantern
Having Hal Jordan, complete with the ring, could be very cool to have teaming up with Clark. Maybe even being friends with him in more than a couple of episodes. The thing would be the costume, since the ring creates it for him. I believe he should have it, and then they could just make something of it that would be presentable for show like Green Arrow's costume. Speaking of Green Arrow, just imagine Hal as Green Lantern and Ollie as Green Arrow together, very Brave and the Bold/O'Neil-Adams from the '70s! Also, wouldn't it be cool to have an episode that might be some sort of tie-in to James Robinson's upcoming Justice League by having Hal meeting Ollie, discussing Ollie's Justice League, and Hal offering Ollie to do more with the team by doing the things that will be the case when Robinson's series starts? Would be pretty neat.
3) Undecided member(s) of the Legion of Super-Heroes
This is undecided because I don't know if one, two, three, or more of the Legion of Super-Heroes should appear if they did on the show. What I will tell you is that I believe that having this team represented on the show really sort of completes the Superboy elements in Smallville. While it isn't suppose to be, the show can be considered a Superboy-type show. As for what I would want to see from them on the show: well it could be more like the now-cancelled animated series where Clark is taken to the 31st century to help the Legion, and along the way he visits this museum and sees himself with the suit, and his superhero name "Superman". Or it could go the STAS way with a 31st century version of Brainiac sent to destroy Clark and members of the Legion come to protect him. And at the end, while they won't for time paradox fears, one of them will say to Clark "thank you for what you done or...what you will do". Or something like that. If I had to, I would only come up with three names of the Legion that I would agree should appear on the show, and it happens to be the three founding members: Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lad.
Whats yours?
