Smallville Summer Hiatus Thread III (Spoilers)

I was thinking when I came up with my Zee mini-series that it would feature cameos from other DCU magical characters or at least occult characters like Phantom Stranger for example.
 
If you want a good superhero show, you don't spinoff from Smallville. You start afresh with no ties to Smallville. And if possible, not on the CW.
 
Well I would argue that we've not had a good superhero show...Heroes' first season was maybe the closest we've got. The Cape looks like it might have potential.
 
I think all the networks suck for a superhero show...a cable network is better but I don't have cable. :lol: So I would want to see it on CBS, ABC, NBC or FOX...maybe the CW. :shrug:
 
FOX & ABC would be my first choices...CBS just wouldn't work and you wanna stay far from NBC as possible...I fear the worse for The Cape...and the CW!? Maybe if I had no other options. :lol:
 
HBO would be my personal choice for a cable superhero show...they seem like they would allow a creator the freedom needed to be able to tell the story they wanted to.
 
When was the last time a real network attempted a superhero show? The Flash on CBS? Actually, I guess Lois & Clark came after that.

Syndication has given us... Night Man and Mutant X.

Who made the Justice League pilot that was never picked up?
 
I actually think that the Justice League movie was produced by CBS now that I think about it. Don't get me started on "Mutant X".

Mutant X is a great idea executed poorly. :lol: I still enjoyed it...think it could work if serious effort was put behind it.
 
M.A.N.T.I.S. I kind of remember...think I saw an episode of it and wondered what the heck it was. With regards to "Mutant X" I wish that they had gone ahead with the original concept they came up with and which I've never been able to find the story from the old cinescape site that reported it. Adam Kane was originally supposed to be called Adam Zero and 12 years old, the first mutant from the Mutant X program. I think it would have been really interesting to have your star be a 12 year old. Not sure that's ever been done before outside of a sitcom. Of course that being said would have loved to have seen "Mutant X" as actually you know the series it was supposed to be, an adaption of the comic book.
 
Ideally that is how SMALLVILLE should have been...Clark being 12 and getting superpowers as the years went by and they could have build up the Clark & Lana relationship and then destroyed it instead of it being a train wreck from the beginning. :lol:

To be honest those 10 seasons...going from 12-22 would have been better than what we have now...he would start out in middles school...then high school and then college...which ends with him graduating college and going of to his training...flash foward in the final episode of him as Superman at 30 in the final moments.

The first few seasons would be all Clark, The Kents, Pete, Lana and the mysterious LuthorCorp...at some point Chloe.
Through high school comes Lex and everything else we had during that time.
College would be way more interesting and they should have stuck to it instead of what we got.
 
I liked those kids from the Chloe/Brianiac vision quest episode.

However?

Do you even know what a teen idol is?

(Obviously the WB doesn't either which is why they cast a 22 year old.)

Without swooning teenage girls to prop up the figures, very few people not into masochism would watch Smallville and satisfy ad revenue.

Do we know anyone who has had an erotic dream about Welling?

(At this stage in the game they're lucky he still has so much hair.)

Ask around.
