| Quote: | Get ready for the return of the Justice League. When Smallville comes back in September, the Super Friends reunite to search for Clark Kent, who went missing in May's season finale after tussling with Lex Luthor at the Fortress of Solitude.
Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar have departed (and are currently producing the Hannah Montana movie), so four of the series' longtime producers have taken over for Season 8. "Luckily [Al and Miles'] voices are still talking to us in our heads as we're breaking stories," says Kelly Souders, who is running the show with Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer. "Their visions come to us all the time, so I think they did a great job of preparing us for this day."
One of the first things the new quartet did was lock in Justin Hartley for at least 12 episodes as Green Arrow/Oliver Queen, a fan favorite who appeared frequently in Season 6 and once last season. He'll start this new chapter by gathering Aquaman and Black Canary to rescue Clark. Alan Ritchson and Alaina Huffman will reprise their roles, as will Phil Morris, whose Martian Manhunter also appears in the opener, titled "Odyssey."
This season's theme is "double identities," Souders says. "It's about the Superman identity emerging as Clark Kent tries to maintain a normal life — or the appearance of a normal life." To that end, he takes a job at the Daily Planet, right across the desk from Lois Lane (Erica Durance).
"The camaraderie as they work side-by-side that everyone loves from the DC Comics and all the Superman lore is going to come to fruition this year," Souders says. "The two of them are thrown together in some unfortunate situations for Clark. She becomes a little bit of an obstacle to him saving the world, when he's on a deadline." — Rich Sands |

Clark at the Daily Planet + the season's theme "double identities" + Justice League is back=

| Quote: | Now that Smallville's Lex is gone, please tell me Chloe will get her job back at the "Daily Planet." She was fired so unfairly. — twistedlyn
Matt: I want Allison Mack's plucky newshound back at work as much as you. Alas, Chloe will have some serious 'splaining to do before the government loosens the cuffs and lets her return to the keyboard. (For related news, see "Justice League Returns!")
Is Smallville planning to bring back John Glover, and for at least more than one episode? — Farhan
Matt: Are you one of those Australian viewers watching on a time delay? Lionel last was seen going kersplat! after son Lex pushed him out of a 40-story window. But because it's what we do here, I checked into his status. My CW pal shrugs, "He is pretty darn dead." Then again, this is Smallville.... |

Hannah Montana?? What the frak Al and Miles?!
Yeah, I am very psyched about the double identities idea. It's not too late to put the glasses on, Clark!!
And Green Arrow, Black Canary, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter?? SWEET! |

I could see Clark putting on the glasses in episode 1 of Season 8 and explain that something happened to his eye sight when he was missing all those months, sound good? |

Season 8 is going to blow the other seasons of Smallville away. Oh man this is going to be better than most of the Superman movies. I can't wait to see Clark start forming his Superman identity without anybody's help. |

I don't see how they CAN'T be real. I mean it was TV Guide. I truly believe that each season has been better than the ones before it, and I have no doubt that this one will as well.
You know he could use his disappearance as a pretty good excuse for why he's acting all "Clark Kent" like to Lois...and I don't mean just the glasses. I wonder if this all means that they wont have Clark be dressing in the red, blue, or yellow a lot this season too? |

Even though I would normally be bouncing off the walls after reading that the only thing that was going through my mind was Hannah Montana? Hannah Montana? Hannah MONTANA?!?!?!?
... I'll come back when I've calmed down |
