‘Smallville,’ we hardly knew ye

Has it really been 10 years since we, and Comic-Con, were introduced to teenage Clark Kent, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Chloe Sullivan and the rest of the gang living in Smallville, Kan.?

Well, no, it’s been nine, but as ‘Smallville’ goes into its 10th and final season, the show has been a mainstay at Comic-Con. It’s hard to imagine that this crowd heard much that it hasn’t heard in the last 10 years that the show has been coming to San Diego with various members of the cast and crew.

The 10th-season promo gave us glimpses of Hawkman, Lois Lane in a desert, Allison Mack’s Chloe with Dr. Fate’s helmet, Cadmus labs and what looked to be Doomsday, and Clark Kent finally taking flight in a black and silver suit. Or what looked to be flight. We’ll find out later.
