Maxwell Lord on Smallville!

I mean come on, Zod was able to fly as soon as he got his powers.

Don't forget Supergirl (Kara) could fly as well.

Everyone is in a costume except Clark, unless you count the Neo suit he wears.

They've made such a practice of "urbanizing" superhero costumes on Smallville that the traditional Superman suit might actually look out of place. I wouldn't be totally against some tweaking of the classic suit to fit the Smallville universe as long as they didn't go too far with the changes.

I liked the idea of introducing a villain like Max Lord but not sure I like the casting choice.

Yeah, not keen on the actor playing Max. Actually, not even really interested in them introducing him at all.

When you have the Wonder Twins showing up, and Hawkman flapping around, I agree it's time to get him into the red and blue Spandex. It's just limiting the story potential at this point. Don't even call him Superman... go with Kal or whatever if it conflicts with the movie franchise. The show is a defacto Superman show anyways with Lois and the Daily Planet and practically none of the show actually taking place in Smallville. Give it a soft reboot by renaming it Metropolis and shedding most of the cast into whatever spinoff they have up their sleeves.

I think the red queen is either Lana or Mrs. Kent seeing as Anette O'tool is returning in two episodes..... and Dr.Fate had a somewhat supersuit on so i dont think Clark will stand out as much next to that comparison....

He does have a Sebastian Shaw vibe going on doesn't he?

Might have been more convincing when he was younger.

Yeah looked like she was dressed in red in the preview for next week's show.
I hadn't thought about the JSA appearance. Yeah, maybe the supersuit wouldn't look that out of place after all.
