Let's hope it works out better than Black Canary

The Legion of Super-Heroes is coming to Smallville.

Yes, this is probably the only thing you could do to get me to watch, and I'm still not sold on it. Throw in Quislet and you've got a deal.

...when, and what day does Kryptonite Creek come on again?

No idea on the timing of the episode, but my TV tells me it's on Tuesdays at seven.

A long time ago and in a galaxy far, far away - or at least on the other side of Canada, and like six or seven years ago...

I was watching Space, Canada's version of the scifi network. This is how I know it was a while ago, because I haven't watched TV at the very least since I moved to Banff, maybe longer. Regardless, I was watching Space, and in between shows instead of commercials they'd have little blurbs about shiny things in actual space, or interviews with the creators of some of the shows they aired. They were interviewing the guys behind Smallville and they were saying that they went into the show with one rule; "No flights, no tights."

Fast forward to a year or so ago, and one of the DVDs I'm watching the previews on before the actual film is showing an ad for season four or something of the show. And one of the clips is of Clark flying next to an airplane. There was another clip that seems to circumvent the "no tights" "rule" the S symbol was burned into Clark's chest.

It is because of this hypocrisy that even if I was interested in the show, which I'm not, that I won't watch it.

No, the only superheroes that I enjoy are the "real" ones. My two favourites are Batman and the Punisher. Because they're just guys you know. I mean what are their superpowers? Bruce Wayne's superpower is money, and Frank Castle's is guns. I like Wolverine too, but that's different. He's just a bad-ass motherfucker, with the bonus of being the only superhero that I'm aware of who is Canadian.

I remember reading Batman #400 -- bought completely by accident, I certainly wasn't a regular reader of the darknight detective -- and there was an essay by Stephen King, about how on the Superman/Batman argument, how he always picked Batman, for most of the same reasons you state. (I always like the distinction that, unlike pretty much everyone else, Batman is the real identity and Bruce Wayne is the disguise.) Superman's more than a match for just about anyone this side of God. Yawn.

If introducing the Martian Manhunter and the Legion can't get me to watch Smallville, I don't think I ever will. Fooey.

(And I've seen the trailer for Wolverine and am actually looking forward to it, suddenly. Damn you, Hugh Jackman.)

Oh, that guy's custom Lego minifigs are just awesome. And the sad Martian Manhunter just called out to me -- and even more apropos, now that he got himself killed off. *sob*

And you are always welcome in these parts, no matter how tenuous your connection to the material at hand....
