With fresh new writing and producing talent, CW hit Smallville has been on top of its game this year with an impressive story line and new characters. This years title villain, Doomsday, showed up in dramatic fashion last week to ruin a certain Chloe Sullivan’s wedding and did a good job of knocking a certain Clark Kent out. Madness!
The only thing more mad than that winter break cliffhanger are the spoilers our buddies over at Kryptonsite.com are posting up.
Episode 11 of Season 8 of Smallville will feature three members of the Legion of Superheroes, and Geoff Johns is helping to write and produce it. Talk about not playing around with canon. Here’s Ksite’s take on it:
That Legion villian appearing in the episode was seen in the CW’s promo for January 2009 - the character is the Persuader. (The Nov. 4 “maybe they could be persuaded” spoiler was meant to be a hint)
AND
In an interview posted on IGN.com, writer Geoff Johns has revealed that we will see Legion flight rings and also makes a reference to the “villain’s weapon.” No confirmation yet on who that Legion villain will be, but maybe Johns or The CW will eventually be persuaded to spill the beans.
- Johns has revealed that Kristin Kreuk has a “powerful” and “heartfelt” scene and that Allison Mack has some “pretty intense things” to do in the episode.
- Regarding casting: “I love who they have playing the Legion. They look great. I’ll talk more about them when they’re announced,” he says. “But they freaking rock. Legion rings, the villain’s weapon — holy s**t, wait until you see HIM– “Grife!”, they are the Legion.”
- Johns seems happy with how the episode is turning out: “I’m actually surprised by how faithful the Legionnaires will be to the comics. It’s really faithful to the comic book series. Who they are as people, what they do, it’s all in there. Obviously it’s going to be a little different because they’re just coming back for the first time to meet Clark. They’re uniforms are the Smallville versions, not spandex. But I’m really happy with how faithful it is. And writing the first live action of the Legion is an honor.”
Madness, I tell you. Here’s the promo trailer for the second half of the year.
