Not long to go for season 8 premier This year looks to be more like superman if the spoiler are any to go by.. looks like the Legion will be introduce this year. Not sure about trying to put a human face to Doomsday but?
They will not attempt to bring in a character to replace Lex Luthor as the prime antagonist. The show will be moving on to the next phase in the Superman mythology. They want to bring Clark closer to the traditional Superman character that we all know. On the other hand the season will move Clark and Lois towards the relationship that is well established in the comics and films. They will highlight the need for Clark to maintain a dual identity and move heavily in that direction.
And the Biggie now there are new bosses in town, Clark could finally fly.. lets hope so!
oh and the best news yet........ a possible season 9 of Smalville.... the new boys have 2 endings for season 8 depending if they get a season 9 or not.
