In two recent interviews, Alfred Gough, the Executive Producer of Smallville revealed what lies in store for Clark and the gang.
In an interview found at The Superman Homepage, Gough talks about how Clark will change and grow next season.
"Season 2 is about getting to the heart of who he is and where he's from. I mean again, we're not going to see anything like the Phantom Zone or anything. But we'lldefinitely start to take steps in that direction in terms of discovering his origin and where he's from."
"I think what's been really good is that people have been responding to the characters. If you'd asked me a year ago what I thought would drive the show I would havesaid the plots, but know I think it's the emotional stories that drive the episodes. So know I think it's trying to find a balance between that and trying to service the element of the Superman thing, you know a Superman show.I mean we're not interested in doing "Krypton Creek" but next season you'll see bigger episodes that'll be focused on his powers and then I think we'll see some more dramatic episodes, you know things that are more real-world. Maybe see the return of some of the "villains" we've seen from this season and other characters that we've met. We'll see the emergence of more of Clark's powers, we'll meet Martha's parents. I think that's the plan... to keep expanding the stories."
At Television Without Pity, the discussion turned to the hope of the show's producers that Bruce Wayne may be able to make an appearance. When Gough was asked about the subject, this was his response:
"Not in the near future. I think that's something that we could potentially see a little further down the road. That all has to do with issues, financial and rights control. It's an ongoing dream. [Laughs.] It's just hard when you cross those two worlds. It's difficult. You deal with Warner features and DC comics and other entities. If anyone doesn't like the idea, it's dead. It's just finding the right way to approach that."
Gough mentions that next season's episodes will feature more realistic crimes and not quite so many Kryptonite-induced mutations. He also says the characters of Pete Ross and Martha Kent will be fleshed out more next season and will have more stories dealing with them. Smallville's inaugural season will come to an end on May 21.
