So according to the folks over at kryptonsite, smallville has two cast additions on the way, Jimmy Olsen, played by Aaron Ashmore and Green Arrow played by that dude who was almost Aquaman.
Interesting sidenote about Aaron Ashmore is that he’s Shaun Ashmore of X-men fame’s identical twin. Shaun was on smallville twice and at one point rumoured for the role of Jimmy in superman returns.
The Green Arrow appearance is for the 6th season story arc that features the beginnings of the JLA with no doubt more heroes on the way.
My thinking on this is that Smallville may have run out of ideas, what was originally the hidden years of Clark Kent, now seems to be using superman stories with gusto.
The addition of Lois Lane, Jimmy, the Daily Planet, Brainiac, Zod and various dc superheroes makes me wonder if the producers got bored of the show and wish they were doing superman. The main problem is the show doesn’t mesh with superman as the cast know clark before he put on the glasses and persona…I dunno..it just doesn’t work really.
…wait a minute…Lois, Jimmy, Daily Planet, no costume, no flying….this is Jon Peter’s superman all we need is a giant spider!
