Stargirl Actress Lets some "Smallville" info out to the Masses!

via www.comicbookmovie.com

Britt Irvin who plays Stargirl in CW Networks up-coming Smallville TV movie "Absolute Justice," lets out some spoilers to FanCast.com.

"I can't say too much about this, but there is a death that occurs at the beginning of the episode," Britt Irvin tells me (Fancast.com). "And that brings the Justice Society of America together with Clark and his team."

Clark Kent's "team" refers to the Justice League (Justice), which is includes the Blur, Green Arrow and… well, others. (I must leave it at that.) And to put it mildly, not all of these heroes get on superbly when they first cross paths.

"Stargirl has a bit of friction with Green Arrow at the beginning, as does Hawkman," Irvin said.

Irvin's star spangled superhero quickly establishes herself as one of the Blur's biggest fans. "She has a special connection with Clark because he reminds her a lot of her mentor," says Britt. What's more, when the JSA gets wind (via from magical Doctor Fate) of Clark's destiny, Stargirl realizes "he's very important for mankind."

"Absolute Justice" airs on February 5th next year.

ReelzChannel.com Movie News: Taylor Swift to Star in Supergirl Movie?

Taylor Swift to Star in Supergirl Movie? SupergirlIt's only an unsubstantiated rumor at this point, but Ireland On-Line is reporting that "a source" has revealed that pop country singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is being considered to play Supergirl in a new live-action movie supposedly in development.

A number of young stars are being mentioned for the title role in a Supergirl movie and possible TV spin-off and Taylor is top of that list. She has all the right elements to be a positive role model to young girls.

In the DC comic books, Supergirl's origin has changed many times, and she was even killed off at one point. As in earlier incarnations, the current comic book Supergirl is Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman and one of the last survivors of the doomed planet Krypton. Helen Slater played Kara Zor-El in the forgettable 1984 Supergirl movie, and Laura Vandervoort portrayed Supergirl on TV's Smallville.

Smallville Fall Finale hits 3.2M viewers in Live+7 ratings

Veteran series continues to succeed in underdog slot
TVbytheNumbers and journalist Robert Seidman report that Smallville's fall finale, "Pandora", which aired on Friday November 20th, was seen by 3.2 million viewers in its Live+7 final ratings. These ratings include viewership from PVR playback up to six days after the live broadcast. Smallville's 18-49 target demo rating also increased from 1.07 to 1.5, when compared to the Live+SD ratings.

Though these figures normally mean very little to networks, who normally base the amount they charge advertisers for ad slots on Live+SD ratings, for a ratings challenged network like the CW, it is welcomed news. People are actually watching their shows - now all they need to do is convince them to watch it live!

The success of Smallville's move to Fridays has been a major surprise for almost everyone involved. The series is now winning its slot in both male viewers aged 18-34, and male viewers aged 18-49, and even "Pandora" performed better than expected, despite the intense competition from The Twilight Saga: New Moon's opening weekend.

As previously reported, E! Online have confirmed the CW definitely want a tenth season of the veteran series, which would make it the longest running sci-fi/cult series in American history (with 218 episodes, surpassing Stargate SG-1's 214 episodes).

Smallville returns with all new episodes (and a TV movie) starting Friday January 22.

Can Superman Fly Without Krypton?

via www.comicbookmovie.com

I know, I know, such a peculiar question, but with the Man of Steel's origin rights all tied up, could we get a Superman movie without any mention of Krypton? We might just have to.
DC Entertainment's loss of Superman's origin is painting a pretty cloudy picture of any new Superman movie. It raises the interesting question of how to bring Superman to the big screen, make it a reboot, but leave out the most well known origin story in comics.

How you might ask is doing that possible? A new story line has surfaced called "Superman: Earth One", a out of continuity graphic novel written by J. Michael Straczynski that could provide the ground work for a Krypton less Superman.

This from Aint it Cool news:

"Clark comes to Metropolis in his 21st year to decide what he really wants to do. And this is someone who can be anyone, do anything. If he keeps his background secret, as he's done for the preceding 21 years, he can be the best athlete the world has ever known, he could be the next Stephen Hawking, could take away the golf crown from Tiger Woods, create patents that could earn billions. He can finally step out of the shadows and into the light.

By contrast, if he chooses to become Superman, then Clark must live forever in the shadows, dedicated to a life of service and self-sacrifice that could eventually get him killed. That's a hard choice for anybody to make, let alone a 21 year old kid who wants to look after his mom and is lured by the idea of money and success and fame. So the story is about Clark's Gethsemane moment, when he has to finally make that choice, why he makes it, and what follows after.

Against this backdrop, we flash back to his life growing up in Smallville, so we can see how the Kents helped mold him and protect him and get him to a point in his life where he can finally make this most difficult of choices."

This sounds like a good approach for a new Superman movie but this idea screams 'Smallville' to me, and I have had enough of 'Smallville'.

Forget any mention of who might actually be Superman in the next installment of the franchise. DC has to now worry about changing almost everything we know about the Man of Steel's origin to fit the requirements of the most recent court ruling that puts all of Krypton out of DC's reach. Hopefully they just go ahead and drop the origin story. In realty that's all we have really had of Superman since the 70's. It's been done to death. Please make a Superman movie were Superman fights someone his own size. Superman 2 was cool but they can even step that up with today's technology. Now all we need is someone to grow the nards to make Superman PG-13 so that we can see some real action.

The Superman franchise.. what a bloody mess

via www.comicbookmovie.com

As many die hard fans will know that the Superman'a creators' heirs have successfully won the rights to Superman's origin (anything Krypton, his life in Smallville) putting any future movie in limbo. This begs the question when will get a new movie and what will it foretell?

Well I have my own Superman universe that is set in the same universe as the current Batman series and would include the Green Lantern and Flash series' leading to a Justice League movie.

But if you were to miss Superman's whole origin until let's say his Fortress training or if you even miss that, then how would you do it. Well I think I have a pretty unique and untested idea. (I actually would do more work than frigging Warner Bros. do on Superman!)

Imagine that you have just sat trough trailers in the dark cinema and then the movie starts...

There are lots of flashes of a brutal battle between Superman and Doomsday. A large fist comes at the screen then we see a massive shockwave from then centre of Metropolis.

News reports from around the world are reporting that Superman has died at the hands of an alien monster that suffered same fate. We then see Lois Lane outside the Kent Farm, comforting Martha Kent. (All this is in a montage)

Then actual footage with Lois telling Martha that they both can be proud of Clark who brought a whole new era to the human race inspiring an army of super-heroes to defend earth. Lois and Martha then begin reminiscing about Superman with Lois telling Martha when she first met "Superman" and "Clark Kent."

This leads to Clark Kent's arriving in Metropolis and meeting Lois, Perry, and Jimmy. Lex Luthor is working on a project with a secret government department called Cadmus which develops super-soldiers to fight in the Gulf and future wars. This leads to John Corben, a reporter who works with Lois and Clark and is accidentally run over by Cadmus trucks. He is then transformed into Metallo with help from Lex Luthor. Lois and Clark investigate. Superman emerges and eventually defeats Metallo.

There will be references to Krypton and origins such as Metallo being powered by Kryptonite which Lex Luthor found around the same time Kal-El came to earth.

Back in the present day, Martha asks Lois where the monster (Doomsday) came from and how it all started.

We then see LexCorp unearthing Doomsday who begins destroying Metropolis on a killing spree. Superman revealing his true identity to Lois before leaving her to fight Doomsday and then the Superman Doomsday fight leading to the start of the movie.

Martha and Lois are sitting there at the end of Lois' story and then say that he is in a better place now. Superman then smashes out of his grave in Metropolis Park and flies into the sky.

Roll Credits.

What do you guys think, I think that this is a great way to get around the Origins problem. But what do you think, please leave a comment???? :)

Comics - News - DC announces 'War Of The Supermen' - Digital Spy

via www.digitalspy.com

DC Comics has announced that a major new Superman event will kick off next year.

According to the publisher's blog, 'War Of The Supermen' will commence in May 2010 with a complementary issue #0 to celebrate Free Comic Book Day. The prequel will be written by James Robinson and drawn by Eddy Barrows.

The crossover will follow on from the recent 'Brainiac' and 'New Krypton' arcs and tie in with the long-running Superman: World Of New Krypton plotline. It focuses on the heightening tension between Earth and the planet of New Krypton.

"Right now, we're taking the concentrated approach, limiting the war to the main miniseries and logical titles (i.e. Superman, Supergirl, etc.)," editor Matt Idelson told Techland. "But much like 'Blackest Night', it's very possible the story will expand to touch upon other titles."

When asked whether 'War Of The Supermen' will be accessible to readers who are not well versed in DC Universe continuity, Idelson responded: "Absolutely. A big part of our jobs (editors and writers both) is to make sure we remember that any given issue of any book could be someone's first.

"With a big, loud story like this, we have to be doubly diligent to make sure this thing is accessible, from the Free Comic Book Day zero issue right through to the finale."

'War Of The Supermen' begins in May 2010.

Could ‘Superman: Earth One’ Demonstrate How A Krypton-Free ‘Superman’ Movie Might Work?

via splashpage.mtv.com

The "Superman" franchise is currently in the midst of a lengthy legal battle between DC Comics/Warner Bros. and the heirs of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Recently, the Siegel and Shuster estates were awarded the rights to certain aspects of the "Superman" origin story — namely, anything and everything relating to Kal-El's Kryptonian origins.

DC Entertainment's loss of Clark's alien roots has led to some understandable fan skepticism about whether a new "Superman" movie could work without at least a passing reference to the lead character's home planet, particularly considering the long-rumored plan of a complete "Superman" reboot.

But the recent announcement of "Superman: Earth One" — the first in a series of original, out-of-continuity graphic novels written by J. Michael Straczynski — could offer a glance at exactly how the Man of Steel might fly on the screen without the Krypton component.

In an interview with Ain't It Cool News, Straczynski revealed that "Superman: Earth One" would deal with a 21-year-old Clark Kent coming to Metropolis from Smallville to decide how best to use his superpowers — should he become a star athlete, a brilliant scientist, or a world-saving superhero?

The writer described the story as Clark's "moment in the Garden of Gethsemane where you have to decide if you want to endure everything that's going to happen to you if you decide to expose yourself."

The Metropolis story would be told in conjunction with flashbacks to Clark's earlier life in Smallville, where readers will learn "how the Kents helped mold him and protect him and get him to a point in his life where he can finally make this most difficult of choices."

Straczynski never once mentioned the word Krypton in relation to "Superman: Earth One," leading one to wonder whether Clark's extraterrestrial origins will have a role to play in the story. Aside from the obvious reason of avoiding further legal difficulties, could DC Entertainment be testing the waters on how well a "Superman" origin can be told without the alien aspect?

It's been argued that Superman's origin doesn't need further retelling, and that notion would be put to the test if "Superman: Earth One" avoids this portion of Kal-El's origin. Should it prove successful, perhaps we'll see a similarly told version of Clark's back story in the next "Superman" film installment — assuming that DC Entertainment ever gets to make one, that is.

Do you think Krypton is a necessary component to future Superman stories or can the Man of Steel fly without mention of his alien home world? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!

Smallville Season 10: What we Need from it

via www.comicbookmovie.com

Smallville Season 10: What we Need from it
The CW wants a 10th season of their current longest running show, Smallville, but what will be in it?
There are A LOT of things that Smallville should do to make us satisfied. We talked for like a half hour, then summed it down to ten minutes as best we could.

1. Lex, the arch nemesis, needs to come back and have a conflict. It might be the last episode, but it needs to happen. Everyone knows he wasn't killed by a toy teddy bear. Why even bother trying to trick us?

2. Clark needs to have all his guns in his arsenal, meaning that he needs to fly, but also have arctic breath. He's done super breath, but nobody has been frozen by the boy of steel.

3. There needs to be a fight scene on Smallville that's at least five minutes long. It's a lot to ask from Smallville, but they owe us that. They might have to cut down their budget to make it happen. I don't care if the spend an entire episode at the Kent farm. They need to give us an epic fight scene.

4. Lana should have never had super powers. Frankly, she should have never come back in season seven. But since they screwed her up, she should come back to Smallville, want Clark, and he should make it clear that he's with Lois and is better for it. Why? Because that's the way it is in the comic books. Lois and Clark have had a great chemistry build up to get to the point that they're finally at, but Clana fans need to be put out of their misery and understand that Lois is Clark's true love and he's not with Lois just because he can't be with nasty kryptonite Lana.

5. Chloe needs to evolve into her own person. Season seven, she blamed her Davis psycho relationship on protecting Clark. Well, her Clark universe needs to expand and she needs something more to her life. It's cool that she's helping people, but it's still Clark's world. She had goals and dreams, but that apparently didn't matter when Lois came on the show and got everything Chloe ever wanted. She needs to be her own person and find a different passion that completes her, or we demand her death.

6. Clark needs to put in the costume. It can be at the very end, the last shot of the show. If the journey of Superman is over, then we need to see what we invested our precious time in all these years. Also, call him Superman. "The Blur" has already gotten old. We don't want it to be overly annoying.

7. Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman would make great renditions to the show. There are rules not to touch them, but we all know that Green Arrow is a Batman substitute. Though Oliver works for the show, Bruce Wayne would get Smallville a lot of ratings and appease the fans that have uttered such rumors for years. Smallville happened when a Bruce Wayne story couldn't get off the ground. Why not stick him on Smallville? And I know the fanboys want to see Wonder Woman. I'm interested to see what they would do with her relationship with Lois.

8. Finish Smallville with a solid villain who is a real challenge for Clark that he has to evolve to defeat, and not devolve the villain so Clark can manage. Doomsday was interestingly thought out at first, but had a poor climax and a poor fight for the creature that killed Superman in the comic books. Zod has been a foe lingering for a while and I'm glad they revisited him in a way that makes sense and is a story that would actually be in a comic books. Continue on this path, and make it bigger.

9. Perry needs to come to the Daily Planet. Clark, Lois, and fake Jimmy worked there. Chloe worked there! Restore him to his rightful place.

10. Out of all the things thus far explored, these are probably the least likely. Buy what the hey? We need an explanation of some of the characters that have gone who were an important part of the show. Nobody talks about Martha. Fans want to know more about what happened to Kara. I personally don't care that much, because she should have never been on the show to begin with. We want to see Lois's family again. I think "The General" coming back on the show to criticize Clark for being a "mild mannered reporter" would be terrific. What ever happened to the other Luthor son, Lucas? He's alive. I'd like to see him reappear for at least an episode. We also need some Justice League epicness. We don't need to see Oliver and his team doing mild work and Clark rejoining them so they can strut away from an exploding building. We need to see real team work needed for a worthy adversary.

If by some miracle this list is completed, I think Smallville can die happy.
