Geoff Johns announced during the Smallville panel that he is writing an episode called Society that introduces the Justice Society of America to the Smallville universe. Also announced during the panel is word that Allison Mack and Tom Welling will both direct episodes this season.  And as we hinted at the other day, Clark Kent will don the Superman suit in the season’s debut episode.  The producers do want the series to go to a 10th season, and are hoping the shows move to Friday night will help that.The appearance of Zod, played by Callum Blue, will help that as
