Smallville news *spoilers?*

gman · 07-27-2005, 08:41 AM

But Brainiac isn't the only character from the DC Comics universe who will be making an appearance in Smallville. Welling also announced the introduction of Aquaman, who will have a relationship with Lois Lane, played by Erica Durance. As an aside, Welling noted that Durance is terrified of the water, which "will be interesting on set." So far, there has been no announcement of who will be playing the character.

Gough admitted that he watches the HBO series Entourage, in which the main character is up for a role in a James Cameron-directed adaptation of Aquaman, but the producers of Smallville had already planned to bring on the character before the Entourage storyline aired. "We actually had planned to do [it], because there are only so many DC comics that they're not developing as movies that we've been allowed to [do]," Gough said. "We wanted Wonder Woman, we couldn't get her. We wanted Batman, we couldn't get him. So we got The Flash. And then we said, 'How about Aquaman?' He's a much maligned character. So for our show, we thought he's a great character to teach Clark, basically, to think globally. Our take on Aquaman at this point is that he's like an environmental activist, who teaches Clark that there's more to life than just Smallville and college and things like that."

I think Smallville has already jumped the shark as they say

no ? about that....storylines and dialog are brutal...but maybe a few new characters and some decent writers might save it . I mean Loeb is a consulatant on the show....

I would have liked to see Bats or WW make an appearance...even if just as Bruce or Diana.....

Maybe that fact they have finished high school will widen it out a bit, it was getting too samey.

I think with the introduction of Brainiac this year and the fact that Metropolis will be a bigger backdrop this year, could be things are looking up for our show!

I may not agree with GMAN on some things but this show hasn't "Jumped the Shark". It's a real good show that keeps a wide range of viewers interested, from the fanboys to the teen girls. Which is funny cause the fanboys always seem to follow the teen girls anyway.
Last season was great and left with a hell of a cliff hanger, can't wait to see how they pick up this time around.

Ditto, can't wait to see if he does build the Fortress.

"Jumped the Shark?" this show isn't even in the water yet!!

Admittedly seasons 2 and 3 were weak with thier constant "freak of the week" themes, but last season has been stellar .. and I'm seriously looking forward to and hoping that season 5 isn't the final one!!

Bring on BRAINIAC!

Screw Aqua-turd, I would like to see Lex be in competition with Bruce Wayne, pre-bats. So is Brainiac on that ship at the end of last seasons episode or is it Supergirl?
