Comic Book Resources:
  • It was announced Sunday at the "Smallville" panel that this season, Johns is shifting his focus from a superhero team protecting the world thousands of years in the future to comicdom’s original superhero team – The Justice Society of America.

    Johns, who wrote “JSA” and the later relaunched “Justice Society of America” for nearly a decade, told CBR News that the producers of “Smallville” approached him shortly after the ninth season was commissioned by the network to see if he was interested in writing another episode. His answer was "yes," with one caveat.

    "Brian [Peterson] and Kelly [Souders], the showrunners, approached me after ‘Smallville’ was picked up for another season and they asked, ‘Would you be interested in doing another episode?’ and I said, ‘Yes. I‘d be interested, if I could bring another DC property that’s never been brought to live action, to live action.’

    “And so we talked a little bit and I pitched them my idea on how I thought a JSA episode would work, because I wanted to remain faithful to what JSA’s all about but still work within the context of the show. And they liked it.”

    Johns said it was way too early to discuss specific details about the episode, but noted he was excited to be heading back to Vancouver for another project.

    “The writing staff working up there in Vancouver is excellent,” he explained. “And I’m really excited that I’m going to have the chance to work with everybody again. And of course, I’m really excited to be bringing the JSA to Smallville.”

    Since the Legion members featured last season were heavy hitters – Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy – CBR News nudged Johns for at least a tease of which JSA members we might be seeing.

    “I can not to tell you that yet. But I can tell you there might be a character or two that you won’t expect,” teased Johns.

    No airdate was announced for the episode but Johns said, “I think it will be around the same time as last season, maybe early to mid-January, but we haven’t locked down the exact airdate yet.”

According to rumors in season nine clark will start experimenting with costumes.


That's right, after nine years they might show him in a costume that might look like the superman costume.

I think they'll spend a whole season having him perfect the S curl first.

Then he will spend one season pondering over whether he would have his underwear inside or outside his pants.

"Batman is only meaningful as an answer to a world which in its basics is chaotic and in the hands of the wrong people, where no justice can be found. I think it's very suitable to our perception of the world's condition today... Batman embodies the will to resist evil" -Frank Miller

"Conan, what's the meaning of life?"

Whatever they plan on doing, I'm sure it will suck.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.

According to EW the Wondertwins and Hawkman will also be appearing next season. I'm very much guilty of enjoying this show and can't wait to see the winged wonder and the twins. Hope the Legion also get another episode.

Fair play!
