• I personally can't wait. The Wonder Twins rule!

• In the middle of the seventh season, I was convinced they were going to end the series. Come on... they did bring in Supergirl. All shows go to hell when the "Cousin Oliver" character shows up. When it didn't happen, I had very little hope for Season 8 being any good. As that season progressed, I did find myself enjoying it more and more; even with the changed mythology for Doomsday, they pulled it off for the series. They should never have taken it further. They should have just made a 2 hour series finale and ended it. As big a fan as I have been over the years, I will hate seeing it ran into the ground, which is certain to happen this season. They got lucky on Season 8; unfortunately, lightning doesn't strike twice. Having the Wondertwins on the show proves this point more than anything. The Wondertwins are the equivalent to the Mars Volta in the music industry... the gayest, most pathetic act out there.

• We all need to accept that Smallville is NOT the Superman that we know and love: This version of the Flash is not Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, or Wally West. This Martian Manhunter isn't green and can't shape-shift, turn invisible, or any of the other cool stuff he did on the JL cartoon. Bruce Wayne will never show up because DC won't let them interfere with the Batman movies and the show probably can't afford to pay Christian Bale. Green Lantern will probably never show up because the ring effects would probably blow the show's budget. Plus there's the issue of whether a GL on the show would interfere with DC's plan for a GL movie. So, who's left? Green Arrow, Aquaman, Black Canary, Cyborg, Impulse, Zatanna, and the Wonder Twins... basically the JL second-stringers.

• Sigh... Smallville. When once you were a good show about a young Superman, you have quickly devolved into a shitfucked mess.

• umm could be fun... Form of a giant gorrila! form of a ice dil....

• Do they even have the budget for it?

• Huh, Smallville is still on TV? But Pushing Daisies, Sarah Connor, Firefly, Jericho and others have been cancelled? I'll be in my bunk...with a fifth....

• @TemporalSword: I doubt they could do Batman without everyone crying a bitch-fit, to be honest. I am actually glad to see him not in the show, and the chance to get to see some of DC's other stars (Wait, DC doesn't have other stars....crap) get some attention. I never would have been a fan of Green Arrow were it not for this show, for example. Still...Wonder Twins? What the fuck. Why do I have the feeling that this would take up the majority of the season, slowing the progression of the story even more so.

• Holy shitbin! I am now officially interested in Smallville again!!!! No I am not being sarcastic.

• The actress playing Jayna is HOT!

• &#64;Skyrocket: Oh, I have a clue...a big, hard clue, alright... (South Park joke) I realize the reason Wayne has not appeared is due to the movie franchise, but since Warner Bros. owns both, and the big-event (translate: big money) they would make it into after last year's TDK, you'd think after 9 years of everyone asking about it they would have found some way for Wayne to appear for at least one episode or something. Plus, it's not like <i>Superman Returns</i> had a problem using the <i>same main character</i>, so the fact that it's a movie franchise has no bearing. I would guess it's some kind of power-struggle/pissing match with the producers and execs.

• WHY?!!! Why don't they just move the setting to metropolis? Or better yet Just End the series Already. They Screwed up Doomsday, decided to have him do things as Teen that he didn't do until he was Superman and in the suit. Its pretty much a teeny bopper show of who likes who and will Clark and Lois end up together. Kristin Kreuk left the show at the right time. And due to the batman rule batman hopefully will not make an appearance on smallville.

• doc said: "What can I say, I find the cheesiness charming and I'm fascinated by Allison Mack's ass." Word. As far as scraping the bottom of the barrel, with Smallville's writing style, that would never happen, They are willing to make up stuff willy nilly all day. If they have nothing to go on, they'll just make something odd up. If they did EVERY character in the DC universe I'd bet they would never run out of goofy characters to put in the show. A part of me is curious though. When they do finally decide to end the show, what will they do with the final story arc?

• I ...uhh ...actually like ...the wondertwins. I think in a world full of extremely useful superpowers, it's always refreshing (and helps suspension of disbelief) to acknowledge the fact that surely SOMEONE has vaguely useless ones. Plus, the whole gimmick is just plain hilarious! Besides, who the hell cares about Smallville anyway, especially anymore?

• I'm hoping this Wonder Twins thing is a fake-out, and that David and Allison will be portraying DC's OTHER superpowered twins (no, not Wonder Woman's breasts!)- Jade and Obsidian. Please, please, PLEASE, let me be right!

• this just shows smallvile is running out of steam that and proably ran out of characters they could get the okay to show up. for the wonder twins is scraping the bottom of the barrel that and the inferior five. looks like smallvile got its own kryptonite the wonder twins in live action.

• Just wanted to say I've always had a bit of a crush on Allison Scagliotti. That is all.

• Nope, this is still an awesome idea. I still love Smallville, to heck with the naysayers! :D

• I've been an avid Smallville fan for years. What can I say, I find the cheesiness charming and I'm fascinated by Allison Mack's ass. Point is that they actually referenced the "Wonder Twins" something like 5 years ago. The episode had some escaped Belle Reeve patients who had kryptonite powers who were attempting to hold the Kents hostage for some reason (it's been a while and I can't remember why). 2 of them were twins who could only activate their powers by holding hands. They were actually called wonder twins and could create force-fields. I remember at the time thinking that it was a great way to re-write some of the cheesiest characters ever and then to kill them off on the same episode. I'm still excited for next season even if the last one had a crappy finale (except for the final scene with Zod).

• TemporalSword said: "So, lemme get this straight: in nine seasons, in which they stretch this "no flight, no tights" rule beyond all ridiculousness,..." Yeah, I'm with you. I just don't understand the leadership behind the Smallville show. They refuse to put Clark in costume, why? I assume it's to avoid being silly and too cartoony? Yet, the show has become so over-the-top crazy wacky that, at this point, how would making Clark finally fly or don the costume make the show any more unrealistic or sillier? UGH. On a really odd note: I've always seen a bunch of actor/actresses pics on the wall of the Japanese Sushi place I go to sometimes. I've never recognized a single actor up on the wall. Well, until now ... Allison Scagliotti has an 8x10 up there. Need to go to sushi more often, begin creepy stalker mode. Bwah ha ha ha...just kidding...sort of.

• [i]So, lemme get this straight: in nine seasons, in which they stretch this "no flight, no tights" rule beyond all ridiculousness, they can't find a way to make the one cameo everybody wanted to see, namely, Bruce Wayne, but they can add in every other two-bit character (Hello, Zatanna!) and now THE FUCKING WONDER TWINS? AHH HAA HA HA HA HA HA HA!![/i] They can't do Bruce Wayne because of legal stuff with the new Batman movies. Get a clue before you complain. Anyway, I'm neutral on this. It could be interesting. JL:U had some characters who were based on the Wonder Twins that were actually pretty badass.

• Gleek? Yeah, Chewbacca hasn't sprung him from his loins just yet!!!

• Any word on Gleep?

• I can't personally sit through an episode of Smallville, but I just got a little bit more respect for people who do.

• If this is true, she better turn into more than just an eagle and a gorilla. And he better be more than a ice ski-lift chair or a bucket of water. And no Gleek??? Sacrilege!!!!!

• So, lemme get this straight: in nine seasons, in which they stretch this "no flight, no tights" rule beyond all ridiculousness, they can't find a way to make the one cameo everybody wanted to see, namely, Bruce Wayne, but they can add in every other two-bit character (Hello, Zatanna!) and now THE FUCKING WONDER TWINS? AHH HAA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

• And who will play their monkey??? :)

• I think I might watch anything with Allison Scagliotti in it, no matter how crap is is.

• What is this "Smallville" ye talks about? *form of vomit*

• make that wizz

• Can always hope for the best. Although, after thinking what they did with the Martian Manhunter, I am suddenly discouraged. What a waste of a great superhero.

• The fact that there has been no GL or Batman and the Flash they brought on there was botton tier kinda of means that the wonder twins was a step up. Still it will be crap, and I try not to hate on things that much, but smallvill has gone bad a long time ago. Oh and if she taks through he nose like she does on wharehouse 13 I may so play everyone favorite game from Ren and Stimp, Don't pee on the electric fence

• &#64;front toward everybody He would be EPIC.

• Why do the companies like DC and Marvel allow these kinds of storylines? I know it is probably an "alternate TV/movie universe" that does not necessarliy reflect the actual comics. But they present some pretty big pills for us all to swallow.

• If they have him turn into a bucket of water it will be totally worth it

• on the plus side, they chose one of the hottest TV girls in the universe(she was totally josh's superhot girlfriend on Drake & Josh).

• Have they done apache chief yet?

• Actually Rob, can I offer two counterpoints: 1) When they had Wonder Twin-esque characters on Justice League Unlimited (along with other made-for-TV superfriends) as part of the Cadmus storyline, they were awesome. That show should still be on TV instead of this tripe. 2) I'd accept Wonder Twins even if Smallville was still watchable...however, the day they crib Wendy and Marvin, THAT is the day when the show has no redemption.

• oh god no, now I don't want to finish Smallville.

• Ah, come on. Might be fun. And you KNOW you'll watch it, if only to have something to laugh about.

• Can I just take a moment here to puke my brains out! WTF?!
