Apparently, it’s a Smallville world after all. The FBOTU Watchtower was inundated today with news reports about everyone’s favorite TV show about the middle-aged superboy who just won’t pull on his tights. First, we have a teaser clip of this week’s upcoming episode, featuring…and I’ve been waiting years to write these words…the Wonder Twins! Let’s watch.
Well, they’re appropriately creepy, I’ll give them that. Following tradition, Zan is definitely the cuter twin. We’ll see how he looks as a bucket of water. The next bit of Smallville news I have for you is even more exciting than the Wonder Twins! How is that possible? Two words: Amanda Waller. Wait, I have two words that are even better than that: Pam Grier. Yes!
So, why Pam and not CCH Pounder, who’s been voicing the role in animation for years? That is a mystery. As much as I like Ms. Pounder, I am giddy beyond all reason to see Pam be cold, nasty and manipulative. I’d like to see her knock Chloe down a peg or two. She’s getting a little too cocky, if you ask me. But what is Ms. Waller doing in Smallville, you ask? That leads to my final bit of news: the Justice Society is coming!
First imagined as a two-part episode, the word now is that the CW is going to present it as a special Smallville TV movie event! DC scribe Geoff Johns has written the episodes (“Society” and “Legends”), which will allegedly feature Hawkman, Dr. Fate and Stargirl. If you told me a year ago that I’d be this excited about Smallville‘s ninth season, I would have slapped you across the face. All this, plus Justin Hartley (aka Oliver Queen) taking his shirt off every week? It’s a good time to be a fanboy.
I thought they did well with the Wonder Twins, Zan being able to become fog and Jaina turning into attack dog as well as being a “fly on the wall” to spy were good upgrades.
I don’t think any of the Animated voice cast has played their roles live action on Smallville. Even with John Jones being black on the series he wasn’t played by Carl Lumbly. Which was odd to me too.
Could be the voice actors are not interested or not available. In the case of Pam Grier getting the part, she might be more famous. Neither of them really look like The Wall but I think Pam Grier would have the attitude.

I’m so excited to read this. I have been watching Smallville with my friend and it’s been sooo good this season. I gave up watching the show after midway thru season one. All I have to say is “Sweet!!!” Cool. This season has been good. Also with Justin taking off his shirt every other episode. Very nice! Yum!!!!

Strangely enough, I’ve never been compelled to watch this show, but the Wonder Twins AND Pam Grier? All right, I’ll set the DVR…
