nice to see the creators are trying to be true to doctor fate as they can even though the gold is making him a little cartoony he looks good. and looks like green arrow is going to rub hawkman the wrong way.

No one looks goofier than Tom Welling in his Neo costume for Halloween-- Wait, that was in the show? And it wasn't a special Halloween episode? Superman's name in Smallville is The Blur?

Right. And Hawkman is the one who should be embarassed. ;)

It's actually kind of sad to see that Smallville's costume designers can do such a great job on real superhero costumes, yet rarely get the chance. See, Batman and X-Men movies, superhero costumes can actually have color and look great!

I love that you can see the plastic imprint line on Hawkman's mace. His feathers are a total mess too. Very sad.

They still look incredibly ridiculous, but at this point I'm assuming it's intentional.

And at least we actually get to see some Superheroes in the show doing superhero-ey things. Either that, or all the characters will just dramatically stare at each other for an hour. If past episodes are any indication, it'll be the latter, but with Geoff Johns writing there might actually be an interesting story.

Yes Michal Shanks costumes looks stupid
And yes he is not a great actor

but like I said before..I own him one. Thanks to him I had a lot of sex with a hot blond chick who was into light bondage for over a year, so i beg you once more, don't make too much fun of him. He has done so much for me.

I've never seen an episode of Smallville, but I will watch this one. I like the costumes myself...superhero costumes with COLOR! Thank God they are not all black.

Wow Stargirl looks really disappointing. she's wearing basic cotton how the crap is that gonna protect you from a fall. they coulda leathered her up a bit. Also what's the deal with her mask?

I think I'm most disappointed in the Cosmic Rod. It's clearly based on Jack Knight's, but without any of the detailing. It looks like the props team assembled it on the cheap with materials from Home Depot.

The biggest gripe I have about Hawkman is that he's just too thin. I've always imagined Hawkman as Conan with wings, and this guy is just too small. The Stargirl costume looks kinda lame, but you have to admit that it is the same one as in the comics. And how much can you really complain about a cute blonde showing off her tight belly?

I'm wondering if they're ever going to have a Bruce Wayne cameo.

Doc

Now, I have never seen Smallville, but this makes me want to watch it. Seriously, one of the reasons I never watched it is because they never had any of the characters as they appeared in the comics. This is awesome. Seriously. How can any true comic fan not like this? It's about as good as we are going to get on a TV show.

THis makes me want to give Smallville another shot. Maybe!

See what happens when a writer that has a clue about comics writes Smallville? Instead of whiny emo characters written for shut-in housewives, you've got Hawkman doing what he does naturaly - namely, beating the stuffing out of the pinko Green Arrow.

I still dont get the bitching. Those costumes look like the characters have looked in the comics for 60 goddamn years-whats not to like? And as for them looking "cheap"...well,this is a TV show. Most TV shows have a budget thats just barely above that of a fanfilm,and its a safe bet that at least half of Smallvilles budget goes to make-up to keep Tom Welling from looking like he's 40. Cut 'em a little slack and just be thankfull they didnt go the hoodies and leather trench-coat route...

Love, love, love it.

Obviously. :)

Well at least Dr Fate looks awesome and in this version Hawkman is also kicking Green Arrow's ass. That is a good start :)
But the Hawk costume still looks poorly done, like it is from a Z grade movie. The maze look plastic, the feathers weird, and this Carter Hall seems undernourished. Poor thing! Give him a Whooper pronto!

And in Smallville, Stargirl is known as Lamp Girl?

I like that they're trying to "stay true" to the source material, but that's a fine line to walk. Sure Dr. Fate looks like Dr. Fate, but his costume doesn't look "real". Fate's helmet and amulet are metal, gold I believe, and here they look like junky plastic. And anyone whose read my postings at other sites on this subject already knows might gripe with his gloves, they look like the gloves you would wash the dished with.

Why, after all these years, am I finally somewhat interested in Smallville?!

heh, because of all these posts on the JSA in smallville, i actually started watching smallville for the first time. im enjoying it, but i have to hide it from my flatmates...

Fate looks ridiculous too. A magic user wouldn't have an outfit made of that material. And the helmet is just silly.

That was very clever of them to make Hawkman look like one of Prince Voltan's troops.
I can hear Blessed bellow "DIVE", just looking at it =D

It's also how you wear it, too. StarGirl isn't filling the boots in that shot, as it were. Posture, girl, posture...

ok who let the chicken from family guy out of the tv set O_o
(fridge , i know it was you )

that image of stargirl and fate , dude she is seriosly giving me :
"THIS LAME COSTUME had better jumpstart my career or else im killing my agent !"

aint her suit supposed to be air tight , like canary's or lana's ?? WTF happened to it *goes to his happy place ,
aka JESSICA ALBA IN the sleeping dictionary// nude scene galor//*

My only complaints are the extra ribbing on Fate's costume, especially for a magic user, but I think it overall looks pretty good. Stargirl's mask bugs the hell out of me. It needs to be flatter. She looks like the kid from Mask with that bloated thing on. Yet the rest of the costume looks spot on and she has the freaking star rod.

Really, considering it's a TV budget, this is pretty well done. I know CW's Supernatural has crap for a budget and Smallville has a good deal more, but still for superheros it's pretty low.

Wow, that is...really...blue. And gold. The last guy I saw in a get-up quite that ludicrous was George Clooney, and he was flashing a Bat-Visa. I thought the point of Smallville was "even a person who is not a sane person would never dress like a goddamn comic book superhero".

Picture these people in line at an ATM. Oh wait, they have no pockets, so where would they put the cash?

Fate looks decent. Hawkman looks off, not necessarily bad or good just wrong somehow. Star Girl's masks gives her a vaguely cro-magnon hottie kinda vibe. Although I have a strange feeling this episode is gonna involve time/dimensional travel, I hope I'm wrong though.

I'm not all that familiar with Star Girl. Would it be fair to assume one of her powers is 'slouching'? Not that you can blame her, if I was in a costume created by the Smallville home for the blind, I'd try and keep a low profile as well.

Does anyone else think that at least in the picture Stargirl's rod looks a little like a rod?

These costumes look ridiculous... but it's super-hero ridiculousness. :)

It's about time "Smallville" gave up the mopey, emo Superman and gave us the guy in a red cape and blue tights. Sure, it's silly looking and ridiculous, but it's Superman!

FINALLY, Justice (no pun intended) is being served on Smallville and it looks totally AWESOME!!!
