Smallville and Legion of Super-Heroes fans have reason to geek out as Newsarama has confirmed the superteam of the future is coming to Kansas. The upcoming storyline for Smallville’s eighth season parallels happenings in DC Comics as well as the Superman animated series from the 90s.
For those not in the know, the Legion is a group of heroes from 1,000 years in the future inspired by the legend of Superman. For them, meeting the Boy Who Would Be Super is an almost religious experience. Geoff Johns, the writer who pens some of the Legion’s comic adventures, will write the …read more

TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello reported last month that hit CW show Smallville has cast the character that murders Superman, at least in the comics. Sam Witwer is an actor with rock solid sci-fi ties, formerly playing Alex “Crashdown” Quartararo on Battlestar Galactica. He also provides the voice for Darth Vader’s apprentice in the much anticipated Star Wars game The Force Unleashed.

TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello keeps the Smallville scoop coming. He’s now reporting that Battlestar Galactica alum Sam Witwer, better known as Alex “Crashdown” Quartararo is joining the Season Eight cast of Smallville.
Apparently Witwer will play Doomsday, the villain that in the comic books eventually kills the Man of Steel. Don’t worry, he comes back. Since Smallville doesn’t exactly follow the plot of the comic books, it’s not a shocker that Doomsday’s origin is a little different. OK, way different. In the books Doomsday is an alien creature with strength matching Superman’s.
According to the press materials from CW, Doomsday starts …read more

Universal probably guessed as much when they dumped Doomsday in the wasteland that is early March, but it had a dismal opening this weekend. The Rhona Mitra vehicle cost $19 million to make but only pulled in $4.7 million.
The post-apocalyptic thriller takes place in a Scotland overtaken by a virus, causing British authorities to quarantine the whole nation and leave its inhabitants to die. Is there any film outside of the James Bond series where the British government isn’t diabolical, villainous and generally shows no regard for human life?
Instead of dying, it seems the Scottish degenerate into pale ripoffs of …read more
