smallville
Smallville was a television series which ran from 2001 to 2011, built around a young Clark Kent’s adolescence in a small Midwestern town. While the series takes some liberties with comic book continuity, it was written around the founding principle that Superman is the hero he is because of the way Jonathan and Martha Kent (Annette O’Toole and John Schneider) raised Clark (Tom Welling). The series began with Clark’s entrance into high school, his crush on childhood sweetheart Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) and a “freak of the week” format with Smallville residents mutated by ‘meteor rocks’ that fell to Earth when Clark’s ship landed from Krypton – in short, mirroring the formulas of other teen shows of the time: Dawson’s Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Roswell. After that first season, Smallville found its own identity as Clark developed an ironic and strained friendship with future foe Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) and met young versions of several heroes he would later serve with in the Justice League. He never flew nor wore the signature costume until the final episode, where he symbolically came of age as Superman.
