Smallville Finale (Review)

After ten years Smallville has finally come to an end.

Now I must admit I didn't watch most of Smallville's run; three episodes into the first season I said nuts with this, but gave it another shot during it's season seven run and was hooked.

As far as the finale goes though, it went as expected (which was not all good).

First the only physical action was between Clark Kent "Superman" (Tom Welling) and Oliver Queen "Green Arrow" (Justin Hartley); a fight that lasted all of a minute of airtime.

Next we have the fact that there was just way to much that needed to be wrapped up into this 2 hour finale. We needed to see what Lionel Luthor was up to, in what capacity Lex would show up in, when would Clark fly and get his suit, and the outcome of all the objectives Darkseid had set out to accomplish.

Now all of these were covered but for a two hour event, this was just way too much. Another two hours might have been helpful.



Over the last few episodes the show had been bringing in different characters / actors from throughout the last nine seasons, for their one final hoo-raa. Even Aaron Ashmore who played Jimmy Olsen made an appearance in the final moments of the finale (apparently playing a younger brother to Jimmy Olsen).

In the end, it was still a very impressive episode, everything wrapped up, favorites making one more run at glory, and an ending that allows for these characters to show up again somewhere in another DC tv show (Raven perhaps?).

So for a simple conclusion, if you have the chance to catch the season finale of Smallville...DO! And Smallville, you will be missed.

Our Smallville Ideas

Eight seasons, several sexy heroines and countless villains later, what more could Smallville offer viewers to keep them coming back. Well we have some suggestions.

1. A Darker Story Arc
The last time we saw Clark Kent he showed us that he has become angry with himself, and maybe ready to finally admit that not everyone contains good or caring qualities and he may in fact have to sacrifice one in order to save hundreds.

2. Darkseid
The conclusion of season eight ended with the arrival of a mysterious figure, our hopes is this figure will be revealed as the villain Darkseid. To learn more about Darkseid you can read his Wikipedia page.


3. The Caped Crusader Himself - BATMAN
Do we really need to say more. This show will go at least nine seasons, and with the way the economy is there is no guarantee for more, so why not give fans what they really want, the two biggest DC heros Batman and Superman together in one place.
We could honestly settle for Bruce Wayne simply making a business trip to Metropolis; maybe to discuss possibly purchasing Luthor Corp from Oliver. Just a suggestion.

Superman or Batman

This is an argument that will never see a conclusion; Superman or Batman, who is the better superhero.

SUPERMAN - an alien sent to Earth during the destruction of his home planet Krypton. He has some of the most wanted powers; speed, strength, laser eyes, the ability to see through anything, and oh yea, the ability to fly. As great as he sounds, his weakness is a little green rock known as Kryptonite, which will bring him to his knees and make him very vulnerable.


When he's not being Superman, he's Clark Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet. Just your average dork, who is in love with fellow reporter Lois Lane, who ironically just happens to be madly in love with Superman.


BATMAN - a boy who had both parents murdered while he was still very young. Batman has no special powers, and all of his abilities have human limitations. What makes him great is that he has all of these gadgets and top of the line technology that no one can compete with.


Batman's real identity is Bruce Wayne; self made millionaire. He lives alone in Gotham city, with the exception of his butler Alfred and a side kick from time to time, in an enormous mansion, which has a secret lair underneath. Wayne is the Donald Trump of the comic book universe.

My Conclusion - Superman may have all the natural powers, but Batman has worked hard to move up the chain, and that to me makes him a better superhero.
