The Trials of ‘Smallville’ Part 5 — Heroes of the DCU

1 min read

Host Anthony Desiato and guest V Ken Marion (Battle Chronicle Sol-Stryker”) dig into “Smallville’s” television adaptations of iconic DC superheroes: Flash (Impulse here), Aquaman, Cyborg, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Zatanna, the Wonder Twins, the Justice Society of America, and Booster Gold.

They discuss how the series brought each character to life, what a viewing event it was—in a pre-Arrowverse/DCEU landscape—for the budding Justice League to form, and what role each hero played in Clark’s larger journey toward becoming Superman.
