Smallville season 9 ***SPOILERS***

[Midnite]

First Look at Brian Austin Green as Metallo

[thanoson]

Brian Austin Green looks so different now. Anyway, I like the look. Could be cool.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Different, but for an earlier first experiment, it works.

My main criteria is, is it immediately recognizable as the original character?  Yep.

[steamteck]

Actually , generally I like  "Smallville's" take on characters ( certainly tends to be better than current DCU IMO) just considerate a seriously alternate history but Clark really really ought to actually be Superman by now IMO.

Smallville SAVIOR Preview - Lois & Metallo - FULL CLIP

[captmorgan72]

Looks good but I liked Brian as Derek Connor. Metallo, I don't know.

First Look at Hawkman in Smallville

Umm... its kinda looks ok? 

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

The wings look fake, and it's way too obvious that he's on a wire, but the costume's surprisingly faithful to the comics.  I'm also pleased that they're sticking to the JSA as the older, formerly established hero team.

[BentonGrey]

While I love the fact that they are staying comic faithful....in that pic it looks sorta' terrible.  I'd like to see a better image before I pass judgment though.

[Thunder]

I'm sure there will be some CGI involved.

agreed.  They shouldn't have even let that shot out of the studio

Smallville movie: Absolute Justice teaser

Spoiler

[BWPS]

I think that was really lame of this show to get so excruciatingly terrible that I, a dedicated fan, had to completely give up on it halfway through the "lana R a witch!" season and then have a JSA movie which looks cool that I can't watch because I'm 4 and a half seasons behind. Did the show really get as better as it looks?

Did the show really get as better as it looks?

nope. as usual with smallville, there is one episode out of three that is worth watching, we still have to deal whith uninteresting side-plot. the "green arrow lose faith in him" just ended and it was excruciatingly long. the actors are still not that good (only zod is cool this season), the writing didn't really improve in 9 year so no surprise here.
by the way, if you're missing the cool episode because you're afraid you won't get what the rest is about -> read season description on wikipedia/any other website you like and then watch the good episode, it's really not complicated (you can sumarize a season in two-three sentence, they just dilute the story in a lot of episode where nothing happen) and the few that are worth watching are really worth watching
this season we had the metallo episode and...yep that was it, but now we have the JSA specialcoming so that will make 3 episode worth watching out of 12 if i'm correct (so 1 out of 4, not a bad ratio so far).
i should really do "Smallville: The Only Worth-Watching Edition" with edited episode (cut every last bit of filler dialogue and lame sub-plot...)
If you like old school reference, season 8 had a Legion of Superhero episode, and it was pretty enjoyable too.

btw don't go "if you don't like it don't watch it" on me, i'm a fan since episode one and haven't missed any episode since, but that doesn't mean that i think the show is good.

Looks like Alan Scott's ring to me.  What do you mean?

Oooooooooooooooooooo Kayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Oooooooooooooooooooo Kayyyyyyyyyyyyyy 

i guess i should explain a little 
every season of smallville has some highlight point, some moment worth watching for the superman fan i am. And if i have to sit through 22 boring episode just to see one that is interesting, i'll do it.
For example last episode (lois flashback to her trip to the futur) there was exactly one momet that i found cool: when big bad guy said to lois "your Blur is dead" we had a shot of Clark's shirt whith the superman shield hang to a pole, exactly in the same manner as the superman cape was hanging in "The death of superman". Boom, 40 minute of a uninteresting episode forgotten, just because they did one thing right. But i still think that there are too many "filler" episode, side-plot not well handled and bad acting.
So there you have it, i don't like this show but i'll be damn if i miss one episode.

[BWPS]

I know exactly what you mean Trelau. It's like sitting through a terrible movie just because some actor you like is in it or Samuel L. Jackson says frell. The first 8 seasons are selling for 9.99 each for the next 3 hours on amazon and I'm kinda torn. I wouldn't buy all of them but I'd rather get the first seasons first but I'm more interested in seeing the more recent seasons. I'll probably just end up passing.

[Thunder]

Some new pics from the "Absolute Justice" movie. I like it.  Fairly faithful translations of the characters.

Whee Hawkman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Stargirl

[herodad1]

what other JSA characters are there going to be? i know sandman is in it too. hope wildcats in the mix.he's such a simple likable character.oh yeah, remember seeing the green ring also.

[BWPS]

That's pretty cool. Dr. Fate has one of the sweetest costumes ever. Helmets look plastic, but w/e.

[thalaw2]

I appreciate staying true to the comic and all....but...honestly....this stuff looks worse than homemade costumes at a comic convention.

[Podmark]
