Smallville’s Justice Society Episodes to be a Two-Hour Event Movie

Honestly, I tried to give “Smallville” a chance after ignoring it all these years, but after devoting my undivided attention to three full episodes of the current season, I’ve removed the show from my DVR schedule. I don’t know what it is about the show, maybe it’s the complete uselessness of the Green Arrow character (really, did this guy ever actually manage to win a single fight on the show? because he sure looks like the world’s slickest punching bag in the three episodes I’ve seen him in), or the overly goofy Lois Lane-Clark Kent romance, or the unGodly boring Tess Mercer stuff… Anyways, I really didn’t plan to watch another episode of “Smallville”, but this news may change my mind. At least, for one night.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the CW likes the two Geoff Johns-penned Justice Society episodes so much that instead of showing them as separate standalone episodes throughout the season, they will instead take both episodes and make a two-hour “Smallville” movie out of them.

The episodes are called “Society” and “Legends”, and will feature the introduction of Stargirl, Hawkman, and Dr. Fate to the “Smallville” version of the D.C. universe. Hawkman, as previously reported, will be played by “Stargate” alum Michael Shanks. Brent Stait will play the mystical Dr. Fate, while Britt Irvin will be playing Stargirl.

Look for the two-hour movie event January 29, 2010.

Hellooooooooo Stargirl.
