Yep, red jacket, blue jeans, blue t-shirt with the -S- and maaaaaaybe a round gold belt buckle. That's my thought on his 'quasi uniform' I mean look at Impulse's 'uniform' basically its just a hoodie. Same with Green Arrow and it kinda works.

Now Chloe needs spandex. :drool:
 
Average.

Good Points
- "Watchtower online". 'nuff said.
- Erica Durance as Chlois.
- Welling actually did a good job for a change.
- Zatanna was nice to look at, I suppose.

Bad points
- Ollie really is becoming what we wrestling fans call a "jobber to the stars". It seems his purpose in life is to make everyone else look good.
- It's not the episode's fault, but I'm not really as big a fan of Zatanna as others here might be. Ollie was partly responsible for the reason why, so I'm not surprised she had a good amount of screen time with him here.

Hot girl in fishnets.

That's enough for me. Bite your tounge!

I said she was nice to look at, I just don't enjoy her character very much. Magic and magic-based characters aren't the most interesting aspect of comic books to me. At least, however, this wasn't a horrific mess like some of Smallville's previous experiments with the subject.

Y'know something... I think Erica Durance may actually be my favorite Lois Lane.

You know it's interesting that a lot of people are saying that now. I've been sticking up for her (And Trekker too, for the most part.) pretty much since "Crusade." I especially got a lot of flack for it when I still posted on Kryponstie. I think part of the reason people didn't like her is because of the continuity violation. :rolleyes:

But she is very beautiful in a very "classic" sense, and she was even as a faux blond. I think the darker hair just suits her better and isn't as distracting. I suppose I do have a small concern as to the authenticity of some of her "assets," but that's really more or less irrelevant.

She's a much better actor than people gave her credit for. I've always though that, after Rosie, she was the best of the "young" actors on the show. (Yes, even better than Mack, dare I say it!)

But most importantly, I think, is her chemistry with Welling. It's as good, if not better, than any previous pair. If you go back and watch the hospital stuff from "Crusade" or the shower scene in "Gone" there are quite clearly sparks-o-plenty. You see them together and it often as a magical quality to it, and sometimes seems so good, that you can't help but wonder if they got a little somin'-somin' going on the side. And of course, if you put it in contrast to some of the Kreuk stuff, it's like night and day.

It wouldn't surprise me if all we get on the show is what we've been seeing so far, I just don't think that should be or will be considered his official Superman costume. The other League members have a costume and Clark will too at some point even if we don't see it on camera. Remember, we've already had two references to a cape.

I think the costume in the pic I posted (or something close to it) would make a decent outfit if something has to be shown and the traditional one isn't used. And I don't see how it looks any more "ridiculous" than either the traditional outfit or what the other League members wear. The Superboy costume I think looks a little too off the mark.

I like any girl who's special or a little out of the ordinary. That said, she does look great too...

Maybe Clark's problem is that it takes a lot more blood than it does with a human being to erect a steel penis? Because if that's not his sister, and he likes girls, he shouldn't be able to form a coherent sentence ar... OH!

He doesn't have enough blood for either end of his body, god help us if there's a competition for resources.

That explains so much.
 
Ya know, she may not be tall enough, but I could see the actress who played Zee as a certain Themyscirian warrior-princess/ambassador/Justice Leaguer.

We haven't been factoring in the effect of Oliver and the League now resuming operation. Oliver has long been after Clark to start using his abilities and has even helped to cover for Clark already by standing in for the "Red/Blue Blur" and wearing a cape to do it. I could see Oliver having a suit made in the fashion that the League members have already been using, incorporating the red and blue suit and the red cape. Add to it a large pair of wrap-around glasses like Ollie wears as the Arrow. And then slick back Clark's hair like Reeve's was in Superman, and give him the spitcurl. Give him a vocal distorter like Ollie uses and it could be enough of a change to keep people from recognizing Clark.

So, he'd be in leather. So there's no tights. They never said no capes. And that would be using glasses and the change of hairstyles and body language to maintain the secret identity. Just not in the classic way. It could work...

...Ollie needs Clark's help for something big, something that Clark cannot be seen doing. So Ollie drops the uniform on him and tells him to get dressed. We might not get the S-shield, but the beginning of the suit would be seen...

...ah, if only. All this speculation seems futile though. They've been dragging their feet on the suit since the end of Season Four and the creation of the Fortress. It's that carrot on the stick they use to keep us watching when all else fails. The bastards have us and they know it, so they will always play games with us about it.
 
^ From what I understand, the big problem is Welling. Supposedly he won't wear the costume and that may extend to any variation of the costume. About all we can do is speculate and come up with ideas. Who knows though, maybe we will get a surprise someday.

I actually can see him doing the "beginnings" of a Superman outfit as you suggested, but it'll happen in a quick scene and he won't be wearing it for long, just like with the glasses.
 
Check the photo in his profile and add some imagination.

Clothes are often more sexual than the persona/person wearing them.

After all that's the point.

what that actress was wearing would turn a 2 into a 5, a 5 into a 9 and a 9 into a 15.

It's cheating.

There is a basement limit, which is probably LaxScrutiny, that anyone could be mistaken fro a Sports illustrated swimsuit model if they were wearing Zatanna's outfit.

Well, OK, that was my point, but I'm hotter than the basement limit.
