Smallville

When it comes to Hollywood's attempts to bring comic books to life, controversial casting is not an unusual side effect. (See: Ben Affleck as Daredevil). But there are plenty of cases of great casting as well, finding an actor that's so perfect for a role that it's almost embarrassing that we didn't think of it before...

Love it or hate it, the "Smallville" TV show has been one of the most popular mass media adaptations of a comic, reaching millions of viewers each week with stories of what Clark Kent's life was like before he became Superman. Now, we're marking its passing by having ComicsAlliance's Chris Sims and David Uzumeri, two guys who have never actually watched the show, watch and review every s

Superman is already at the center of a legal battle between Warner Bros. and the estates of Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster, but a new party is getting in on the tug of war from an entirely different front. "Smallville" creators and executive producers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, who left the series after the seventh season, are suing Warner Bros...

I know, I know, it's kind of weak to take cheap shots at "Smallville." But seriously, when promo images show the Silver Banshee making like Teen Wolf in an upcoming episode, it's hard not to share. Silver Banshee makes her "Smallville" debut on Friday, April 2 in an episode entitled "Escape...

Last week, the CW aired "Absolute Justice," a two-hour "Smallville" event --a.k.a. a two-part episode smashed into one double-sized time-slot -- that involved Clark Kent teaming up with some of the Golden Age heroes of the Justice Society. The hype machine for this one had been running full-tilt since the first pictures of actors in costume as Dr...

As a fairly irregular "Smallville" viewer, I admit I usually go for guest-star bait. The novelty of seeing some of my favorite characters in live action typically holds my attention for the full length of the episode, even if I sometimes question the time investment (I could have been reading comics...

I admit, I'm not a huge "Smallville" guy. The show's glacial pacing lost me to watching paint dry long ago - seriously, that eggshell white stuff dries quick - so I'll cut to the chase with what's really on my mind. Why does this one-off dork look more like Superman than Superman...
