Seriously–if the X-Men films have taught us anything, it’s that heroes look better in pants and jackets than in tights and briefs. So far only Spiderman has succeeded in making a grown man look heroic in traditional tights….
The series has been an interesting “Elseworlds” concept. Lois falls for Clark instead of Superman since she never sees “The Blur”. Clark’s years in Smallville developing into a hero as Clark Kent and not as “Superboy” yet not being stuck on a farm completely ala “Superman I”. Clark “steals” Lois from Green Arrow. The JLA develops as a bunch of kids with powers that don’t even find out about the Justice Society of America until late in the game. And a really, really good portrayal of a young Lex Luthor. Some episodes of the series I liked and some I found kind of boring. I really enjoyed the appearances of the JSA and how other heroes were worked into the series through cameos or just being mentioned, which helped to keep the focus on Clark, Lois, Oliver, Choloe, Tess and the legacy of Lex through the last two years.
It’s been a good series and I’m glad to see that it ends where the comics “Smallville” ends…with Clark in the blue and red (and an American Citizen….I’m sorry, I’m just having too much fun ribbing about that. I’ll stop sometime in the near future.)
I hear he’s finally going to wear “the suit”, and I’m dreading it — no actor has ever looked good in that leotard!
That does not compute.

Now, about that Justice Society series…
isnt it “series finale” because season finale implies a subsequent season?
