Classic Superman suit seen in Smallville season 10 trailer

[Captain]

hmm....sounds like the blue beetle series will be spun off from Smallville?

Generally, I've only bothered to watch the episodes that had the JL or JSA in it. the League is kinda pathetic on this show, but the JSA episode was great, and I hope they have more.

[Hector]

I'm looking forward to this season despite all the negative-nannies here.

Here's some spoilers from the panel, from the Superman Homepage:

18. Welling was asked if he'd been approached for a Superman movie and apparently he has been though he didn't go into specifics.

WOW!! Tons of good stuff to look forward to this season...CAN'T WAIT!

But #18 has really got my hopes up! I sure hope WB does the SMART thing, and signs Tom for the new SUPERMAN Movie!!

Here's some new Superman news for ya Hector old Buddy:

From Comic Book Movie.com

Late this afternoon I hopped on the phone with a contact who shed some light on the J. Nolan rumours.

"You know, some of that is true", my very reliable* contact, said ."Jonathan Nolan is not onboard yet, but it looks like he will get the job. Jonah wants to direct, Chris wants to land him that gig, WB doesn't want to upset Chris. That said, it is far from a done deal -- but with Chris and Emma producing, the odds are with Jonah"

"Also, it is a TV star that they're looking at for the lead - but, despite what that article says, I don't believe anyone has actually tested." (He/She has heard nothing of Zachary Levi being considered).

So there you have it, Nolan is the frontrunner for the job.
Sorry? What? Oh, you want to know which "TV star" is currently atop of the WB wishlist?
Says our insider, "[He's a] popular TV actor...everyone will be thrilled with if he pulls on the blue tights"

So, they have their Supers, he's a tv actor, you know who it is, but we can't? Mmmmm. He goes on to say Your first guess is likely the right one.

"This Superman is neither a reboot or a sequel. It's just a Superman film. The basic elements of the storyline are: BIG action, BIG set-pieces, witty dialogue, playful romance, a light-hearted feelgood mood juxtaposed with derring-do and danger, top-notch cast, epic feel, sci-fi background (sounds a little like Donner, right?) BUT with some sort of huge twist on the legend."

[Hector]

Yes...it's going to be Joe Manganiello...

[The Bat]

Yes...it's going to be Joe Manganiello...

You wish!!

[Hector]

Joe Manganiello...a man's man.

Tom Welling...a pretty 90120 boy.

[Hector]

You wish!!

[The Bat]

Tom Welling was Chris Reeve's pick for his replacement.

[Hector]

Poor Chris...he was drunk when he made that statement...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Welling's got the chops. Watch the show before you decide.

I doubt he wants to play Superman, and I doubt Warners wants to attach the movie franchise to Smallville at this point, but if Welling agreed to do it, I'd be perfectly fine with it. If he brought along Rosenbaum and Durance I'd be down with that too.

Amen Brother!!

[Hector]

I doubt he wants to play Superman

Yeah...because he's such a film box office attraction and all.

I've seen it...and I don't like the show or him.

Do I have to like him by some unwritten law or something?
