Yep, you read that right.  I'm definitely interested.

The funny thing is, Smallville already had something similar to the Wonder Twins in a much earlier episode. It was back in about season 4 or 5 I think, and there was an episode where Clark had lost his powers and he had been held in a hostage situation with a group of escaped meteor freaks from Belle Reeve, and two of them were a pair of identical twins with powers that activate by them being in contact with each other. I'm pretty sure either Clark or Sheriff Adams called them the Wonder Twins as a joke too.

That being said, I am interested in seeing what Smallville does with the characters. But I'm also starting to think Smallville is really running out of ideas lately, as they are really going for the DC guest stars these days, no matter how high profile or obscure.

Are they going to spy on a bad guy by turning into a mouse and some ice cubes? *snicker*

Speaking of the JSA 2 parter...

If it was an episode of MacGiver, that would be all he needed.

I wonder if they will slip Wonder Woman Green Lantern and Batman in before this series ends seems like bout every other one has been in there at some point.

Batman and Wonderwoman were big no-no from the start, and since the Green Lantern movie is in work he became off limits too.

I don't watch Smallville, so my opinion is moot and potentially baseless...

But I sure hope not.

Bruce Wayne/Batman has absolutely no business being in Smallville.  It would be completely out of character and out of canon.  There aren't too many plausible reasons for Bruce to show up there.  It's not Gotham.  Clark and Bruce being close in age, it would probably place Bruce in his world-travelling phase and I can't think of anything in Smallville that would draw him there.

Wonder Woman likewise has no reason to be there.  Except maybe to generate interest in a WW or JL movie project.

Now, I could see a Green Lantern show up... just not 'the' Green Lantern.

The show doesn't take place in Smallville anymore. It mostly takes place in Metropolis. Which Bruce has gone to in the comics and cartoons.

Different universe, different rules. Shouldn't this be engraved in our heads by now? They don't "have" to follow the comics word by word. Of course, people will complain about it, but that's life.

As for Bruce in Smallville or Metropolis, the solution should be obvious.  Bruce spent years traveling the world to learn, so simply have some great martial artist/detective/escape artist or some other such thing residing there.  Bruce is in town to learn and runs into Clark.  Easy enough. Never going to happen, but easy to do.

As for the episode itself, pretty decent.  The Wonder Twins were portrayed as fans trying to "help" their hero but usually causing more problems than they solved, although Cloe and Clark decide that they could be useful if properly trained.

Also, Clark dons the glasses, "revealing" to Lois that he's actually nearsighted and supposed to be wearing them.
