so - what is the Smallville spin off series?

[The Bat]

Call it Watchtower, and rotate and intermix the established heroes and new ones throughout the year, aka Justice League / Teen Titans 90210. Keep Ms. Tessmacher, I mean Tess Mercer, Emil Hamilton and Oliver Queen and possibly even Arthur Curry (less frequently) as the mentors, and the Daily Planet, Watchtower and the Justice Society as sets.

Characters to draw from... Kara Kent, Connor Kent, John Jones, General Lane, Perry White, Braniac, Bart Allan, the Suicide Squad, Zatanna, Black Canary (especially if you keep Ollie and lose Chloe), Cyborg, Slade, etc.

and of course, each of the new heroes would have their rogues galleries to draw from. Every so often, you might tease glimpses of Supes, or even guest appearances from Clark, Lois, even Lex.

OR

Do what I've said they needed to do years ago, rename it Metropolis (they already moved there on the show) and just continue with Tom Welling in the suit. Pay Michael Rosenbaum a crapload of money to reprise Lex regularly again. Problem solved.

Both plans sound GREAT to me Paul!!

further thoughts?

I DO think it will be this fall. At latedt a mid season replacement.

There is ot the great need for development because it is already in place.

the lack of Legion of Doom in the finale, lex's return, the "death" of hawkman, the Legion ring for Kara, Booster and Blue Beetle seeing the hero in themselves, Oliver's constent presence -cloe's kid with the arrows?

this screams of a show with multiple heros (watchtower, teen titans, legion of suerheros, JLA, JSA...) but just like the JLA comics superman is a cameo chaater to sell copies and push new heroes. so no superman as a main character (there are also lisencing rights issues with Supes)
