I still can’t get over how many aspects of DC continuity are being fit into SMALLVILLE as happening before Superman’s debut. You’ve had Doomsday and an unofficial Justice League show up while before the Man of Tomorrow’s first official flight. In these clips alone, we have Green Arrow and Checkmate entering the fray, and Clark Kent is still just Clark Kent. He’s got that black outfit on with the chalk “S”, but he still isn’t even Superboy yet. I remember when this show first debuted (and lord knows it was a long time ago, now. I was still in high school). I asked, “How many stories can you tell about Superman when he isn’t Superman?” Nine or ten seasons worth. That was the answer I should’ve understood back then.
These clips from the upcoming “Sacrifice” episode, which is the second-to-last episode of the season. Perhaps you could think of it as the prelude to the this season’s penultimate adventure and, as you recall, somebody in the cast is going to bite it in the finale. A lot of you are thinking it’s going to be that Chloe chick, but wouldn’t it be WILD if Clark was the one to die? That would REALLY answer the question of how many stories you can tell about Superman without Superman. Hey - - Doomsday's shown up. I don’t see why you couldn’t do an adaptation of the Death of Superman before Superman’s even debuted.
Anyway, the first clip shows some terse words of intimidation exchanged between Green Arrow and Zod, while the second’s more general preview of Chloe and Tess getting trapped in the Watchtower. Enjoy!
