As many fans of Smallville know, the ten-year-old series has made a considerable effort to incorporate many elements from the DC Comics universe since the departure of former showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar at the end of Season 7. This has managed to make the series feel more fun and entertaining over the past few years and even though the show is in its final season, there's still more DCU goodness to come. Courtesy of Kryptonsite, here's a list of who we can expect to see in the weeks and months ahead:
"Ambush" (November 5, 2010) -- General Sam Lane (Michael Ironside, former voice of Darkseid on Superman: The Animated Series), Lucy Lane (Peyton List) and Rick Flag (Ted Whittall)
"Abandoned" (November 12, 2010) -- Ella Lane (Teri Hatcher, former Lois Lane on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), Granny Goodness (Christine Willes), Mad Harriet (Lindsay Hartley, wife of Green Arrow actor Justin Hartley), Jor-El (Julian Sands) and Lara (Helen Slater, former Supergirl in the Supergirl movie)
"Patriot" (November 19, 2010) -- Deathstroke (Michael Hogan, former Colonel Saul Tigh on Battlestar Galactica) and Aquaman (Alan Ritchson)
"Luthor" (December 3, 2010) -- Lionel Luthor (John Glover)
"Icarus" (Early 2011) -- Deathstroke (Michael Hogan), Hawkman (Michael Shanks) and Black Canary (Alaina Huffman)
Untitled Episode (2011) -- Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, written by Geoff Johns
And, of course, there's the upcoming showdown between Clark and the Big Bad for Season 10, Darkseid. Here's hoping it's as good of a finale as the series deserves...
