Smallville Fans are Patient

I've always liked Marvel WAY more than DC. Whenever that came up in conversation (not surprisingly, kind of a lot) someone always says "Well, what about Batman?". Yes. Batman is ok, but he doesn't make up for Plastic Man, Aquaman, Booster Gold, and the rest of the DC jobbers. Green Lantern is going to have a good year, but I attribute that more to Ryan Reynolds' abs then to Hal Jordan's winning personality.

As you can probably figure out, I don't care about Smallville. I like the premise: Clark Kent's life before he turned into Superman, but I don't really care about Superman all that much so that isn't all that appealing. But the premise is cool and I respect that the writers can spend 9 years fighting the urge to have him jump into a phone booth and fly off.

So, after 9 seasons it looks like Superman is finally going to look like Superman and put on the iconic suit. Its impressive that ANY show could go so long, and fans of the show seem to be die-hards. You can catch a new episode on January 29th at 8/7c on The CW Channel (now, send over free stuff).
