Bombshell Serinda Swan has landed the role of DC Comics’ sorceress Zatanna in CW’s hit Smallville, according to TV Guide’s Matt Mitovich. You may have seen Swan in a small role as a hospital receptionist in Supernatural, or a July 2008 episode of USA’s Psych.
In the eighth season’s 17th episode, Hex, Zatanna grants a frustrated Chloe a wish. After all the chaos in her life, Chloe wishes she could live the relatively carefree life of her cousin Lois Lane. I’m not sure what Lois Lane Chloe’s been watching. They’ve both been possessed by Superman villains this season already. But whatever gets Chloe through the day, I guess.
Zatanna Zatara is one of the most powerful magic users in the DC Universe and though she’s a C-level character, the company’s been giving her quite a push lately. Zatanna has appeared in the Justice League Unlimited animated show, the Justice League Heroes video game and was one of the focal characters of the critically acclaimed Identity Crisis comic mini-series. And now she’s hitting Smallville.
As you can see, Serinda is very easy on the eyes. Two words come to my mind: Lois Who?
She looks hot but can she fill out the fishnets. Somebody call Morris Day to give his approval of this woman
I love when Smallville dips into the DCU and bring on characters, but if this doesn’t serve to push the season along and ends up being a standalone episode, what is the point. S9 is not guaranteed so as fun as it is to see these characters, I’m worried TPTB is too busy playing around than setting up an ending for the series.
