They have a lot more going on in "Smallville" the past few years than the original producers probably would have preferred. Which I feel is a good thing. If it were up to the original producers, they would have let the show linger on "will he or won't he be with Lana" and never get around to him coming as close to being Superman as he is now. They were probably very content to focus on the "teen drama" aspect even when the characters are no longer teenagers. These are also the same producers who thought the world desperately needed another Brendan Fraser "Mummy" movie and a "Hannah Montana" movie. Just to give you a little perspective.
The show has made significant progress without them, becoming something more comic-book and action based. There have been hiccups along the way, but every show has those and "Smallville" has retained a "guilty pleasure" form of entertainment that has begun to deliver on its promises. I mean, the last season's finale opened with a glimpse of the future with Superman saving the day in full costume (just really fast and far away) so, in a way, the whole "no flights, no tights" rule is out the door. This being the last season, I think that they are not going to disappoint. They have nothing to lose by having him suit up and fly at this point, so there's no doubt in my mind that they will.









jetro dont think theres a need to reboot just becuz theres a new actor ,it will work out,i'm looking forward to all these flicks marvel & dc,looks like dc is finally stepping up.
ang lees hulk seemed like a mix of the comic& tv & some crap he pulled out of his azz or something,it was ok
