Get an exclusive look at the Geoff Johns-penned episode of SMALLVILLE

Posted by keithpatrick on Jan 21, 2010 in News

Want to see some more hints about television’s Justice Society? DC Comics’ blog has an exclusive clip from Smallville’s “Absolute Justice” episode, as well as writer Geoff Johns promising “more cameos and easter eggs than Green Lanterns.”

It’s not a stretch to say comics are everywhere on the pop culture landscape — movies, television, books and beyond. These colorful heroes are a part of our daily lives, and we’re proud to unveil something very cool — and by “cool,” I mean something special, that we’ve never done before on THE SOURCE.

As most of you know, BLACKEST NIGHT writer Geoff Johns has done his fair share of Hollywood work, including but not limited to working with SUPERMAN director Richard Donner. He’s also written episodes of SMALLVILLE. The most recent, titled “Absolute Justice” features the television debut of some of his — and your — favorite DCU heroes, including Hawkman, Stargirl and Dr. Fate.

In other words, the Justice Society of America. The first superhero team in history and one that holds a special place not only for Geoff, but for fans everywhere.

So, needless to say, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention it here. We’d be doubly at fault if we didn’t corral Geoff himself to share a few words, too. Take it away, Geoff:

“It’s the first live action Justice Society of America. Hawkman, Doctor Fate and, my personal favorite, Stargirl. But don’t expect them to be the one ones you see. Look closely in this episode. There’s more cameos and easter eggs than Green Lanterns.”

Oh, and did I mention we have an exclusive clip from the episode, courtesy of the fine folks at The CW? Click below to view. Enjoy!

You can see the video here

Also Newsarama just put up a “1st Look: JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS” Clip, you can see that one here.

A Battle between the Justice League and the Crime Syndicate will always be packed with action. This clip, from the DCU Animated Original movie coming February 23, 2010, jumps straight into an all-out brawl between the mirrored teams.

And Now For Some Smallville Justice Society News

Michael Shanks, AKA Dr. Daniel Jackson for you Stargate SG-1 fans, will play Hawkman in the Justice Society episode of Smallville titled “Society” scheduled for January. It will be written by fan-favorite Geoff Johns directed by Glen Winter, who also directed the “Legion” episode.

On his Twitter account Tuesday Geoff Johns confermed something we had hoped for, but hey you never know

Yes, Hawkman will have wings. And a big mace. Oh. And he and Green Arrow don’t get along. At all.

What else did we find out about this episode. It will have Stargirl as actress Britt Irvin (Aliens in America)

And Dr. Fate! He’ll be played by actor Brent Stait, also known for his appearances in genre fare like “Stargate”.

Smallville Update: Brian Austin Green as Metallo

Posted by keithpatrick on Aug 21, 2009 in News

TV Guide recently released this very Iron Man/Whiplash looking picture of Brian Austin Green as Metallo in the new season of Smallville.

Green’s character starts out as John Corben, a new Daily Planet reporter, who becomes Metallo when an accident leaves him with a heart made of kryptonite. Kryptonite being something Superman has an aversion too so you can see the conundrum this will put the man of steel in.

Some of you may remember Brian Austin Green recently from the canceled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles… I think he did a great job so it will be no shock to me seeing him pull this roll off also.

Smallville returns for its 9th season (Damn, just knowing that makes me feel old) on September 25, 2009.

Brian Austin Green Is Metallo on Smallville!

Posted by keithpatrick on Jun 18, 2009 in News

I have to say, I joked about him a good amount when I heard he was in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but honestly he did a great job.

Brian Austin Green has been cast on Smallville as the DC Comics villain Metallo, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

That’s right – the Terminator alum is now playing a cyborg himself. That is a pretty freakin’ super bit of casting, right?

Green will appear as the kryptonite-powered villain (alter ego “Daily Planet” journo John Corben) in at least the first two episodes of Season 9, which takes flight Friday, Sept. 25.
