If you aren't up to date on season 6, and don't want it spoiled for you, do not read any further. Scroll down... These things need to happen in order for Smallville to become canon with the movies...not talking about the time difference though. 1...Lana needs to divorce Lex, become pregnant, and have some sort of memory wipe to turn her from the strong character she is in Smallville to the weak character she is in Superman III 2...Lionel Luthor needs to die 3...Lex needs to have some sort of memory wipe too. There's no way he could not know that Kent is Superman. Any other suggestions? |

a list as long as my arm, but just a few for now, a Superboy who can fly and could fly from infancy, a Super outfit from infancy made by Ma Kent. has a dog named Kypto, a cousin named Supergirl, a couple of robot Superboys to patrol when Clark is being Clark, cannon is even more elusive in this show than in Star-Trek but I still watch it Sorry... just reread your post..the movies... I thought the comics, my bad |

She was already starting on Smallville to look pretty dumb, not have puttting two and two together, or at least not even thinking Clark was a meteor freak |

I can't stand this show based on the couple of episodes I've watched and the reviews I've read since then. I can't stand the revised Superman mythology from the 1980s on. I didn't like the movies very much either but that's a separate issue. To resolve the series with the movies, The Legion of Super Heroes arrives in TV Smallville. They realize that something has gone horribly wrong with history and go back in time to Kal-el's landing and spend the next 20 some years correcting things. Moderator Action I'm going to move this to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy forum. |

The Justice league has already been formed. Its Flash, the Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman and Clark so far. |

But it's a Teen Titans version of the Justice League. Cyborg is not a contemporary of Kent. I fortunately missed Flash. Was he the 30-year old police scientist named Allen or a kid named West? |

Continuity in the comics is constantly revised. There are several versions of the character Superman if you look back far enough. I'm enough of a comic dweeb to have a pretty big chunk of Superman stories. Suffice it to say, nothing on TV or in the movies is the same backstory for the different versions of the comics. They're all just different versions of the story. For example, as whitestar mentioned, one version has a Superbaby who had all the powers Superman does at infancy. Later on, Superboy has a long history of odd happenings in this small Kansas hamlet as well as being a member of the 30th century teen superhero team, The Legion of Super Heroes. All that was scrapped in 1987 when John Byrne revised Superman for the Post-Crisis era. Young Clark Kent knew about his powers, but not his origins. He wasn't Superman until he was at a spaceplane debut flight in Metorpolis when it malfunctioned and was going to crash into a crowd he was in. He caught the plane and guided it to a safe landing, Lois Lane, aboard and saw his face as well as several bystanders. He flew off, and the evening headline appeared: MYSTERIOUS SUPERMAN SAVES SPACEPLANE and the rest is history (in the Post-Crisis continuity anyway). |

not having bought or read a Superman comic since the seventies your declaration of a revised version of Superman is news to me, I guess yer learn something everyday. It probably explains why they have pegged back Super's depth of strength, speed and invulnerability in the last movie |

To link Smallville to the movies I think the writers should take the time to link this series to Superman Returns and go from there. Forget the weak Superman III and Superman IV movies. To me they were little more than poor attempts to please fans of the franchise. In season five we know a teenage Kal-EL had just started to discover his origins and where he had come from. He made his debut in Metropolis and reveal to the world as Superman. Then he decided to try and find his home world and disappeared for five years. During that time the world forgot abut Superman. When he came back the world he once knew and loved had changed drastically. Thus the next movie should explore what had changed and how Superman might make a difference when one of his deadliest enemies arrived and threaten Earth. If Lex Luthor is as smart as he was profiled I think it should be written in such a way that he suspect Clark of being Superman but was unable to prove it nor was he able to convince people to believe his theories. This failure to reveal Clark's secret to the world could become the basis why he hate Superman so much that he would go to extremes in order to destroy him at all costs. The odds of finding more survivors from Krypton could be introduce in a Brainiac sequence where the super android revealed the shrunken bottle City of Kendor. This could lead to the introduction of Supergirl and Krypto. I hope the writers for the upcoming Superman 6 movie due for release sometime in 2009 would take note from this little tour down History Lane. Who knows? Maybe they will be wise enough to take Smallville into account and give us a true cross over movie?
