During the Comic Con event, the producers were asked whether or not the Wonder Twins would appear in Smallville. Of course they acted as if they hadn't a clue what the Wonder Twins were.
We know that a duo set of characters would be appearing in Smallville, episode 5 but until now we have not had any clues as to who the duo was going to be... until now!
KryptonSite has posted a hint for this duo:
A possible hint on the guest characters in this episode: It's very likely they may have the ability to turn into a bird and a bucket of water, respectively. Purple monkey optional. We'll see if that pans out. (Keep in mind this entry is just speculation and nothing is confirmed)

KryptonSite has also posted some details regarding episode 3 of Smallville which sounds... different:
UPDATED 8/3/09: "Rabid" is about a virus infecting Metropolis that turns people into zombies.
- Both Tess and Lois are infected by the plague.
- Cameron Bancroft, whose previous credits include 24 and the original Beverly Hills 90210, plays Dr. Coats, a virologist who is working on the zombie plague.
- Don't get too attached to the current Green Arrow costume - Oliver burns it in this episode.
Sounds like a possibly "fun" episode.

Also, for those interested, I have casting slides for two episodes that are stocked full of spoilers:

Episode 9.05 - Idol - Casting Sides:

Sounds like the Wonder Twins to me. Sounds like it could be a good episode.

I'm for it, if it happens. If I've got a criticism about the show, it's that there are sometimes not enough fun episodes. I think we'll need them this season since it's Clark's darkest hour and everything...

Yeah, a lot of people are upset about this potential news but I think it could end up being good. Rabid sounds interesting as well.

Not a big surprise, fanboys whine about everything. I don't really know why the Wonder Twins would be so objectionable.

Added casting slides to this story which reveal details on episode 4 and 5 including what appears to be the Wonder Twins.

The reason I'm not such a fan of the Wonder Twins is because of their VERY hokey reputation. I only know them from the cartoons when I was a kid, and I hated them then. I of course will give them the chance as I'm a big fan of the show, but I'm REALLY trying not to write the episode off. The Zombie episode sounds really fun, and since it will aire a couple of weeks before Halloween, it's obviously going to be their Halloween episode.
ReplyDeleteYa i was seeing this last night/today on SHH and another board i go to daily. We do know their is alot of restrictions on certain characters being used like bats/ww/possibly all gl's. And characters who are not tied up in current projects tend to be have less problems being used. Though i do wonder out of all open characters they would have picked wonder twins. Now i know at first they were not official dc characters untill i was reading earlier today to mid 90s. And the superfriends versions were so darn silly, though i bet they wont be silly much for smallville take, I do wonder though i know in the comics/superfriends they were aliens, will smallville do that too? I said it on SHH earlier its nice to get more aliens on the show.
ReplyDeleteWright, I'll say this much. If there's any mercy in the world, the SV folks won't adapt those 70's-riffic costumes directly from the Superfriends 'toon. Other than that, I'm cool with bringing them into SV for an episode.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, Souders + Peterson have yet to let me down.

ya i am sure they will do less superfriends and more modern take on them, yes probably homage the superfriends take with something like maybe make refence to a monkey, or have them wearing purple tshirts or something. But dont make them a total joke, though this episode sounds like it could be a fun episode and we can sure use more of them.
ReplyDeleteSo i was just reading on both devoted and ksite Glen winter will be directing the episode. Nice to hear they got a solid direct of the smallville crew on the episode.
ReplyDeleteKsite is now reporting that the roles have been cast for the "wonder twins" characters. Guy who played simon on 7th heaven and some actress who has had roles on one tree hill/drake and josh/ and currently a guest staring role in warehouse 13.
ReplyDeleteksite is reporting some spoilers for idol:

"UPDATED 8/17/09: Lois meets her psychatrist, "Dr. Evans," and tells her there are things she wants to talk about off the record.
- Dr. Evans asks Lois to describe these dreams, and Lois tells her that they start off with "serious NC-17 violence" and then there's a recurring event - involving clothes coming off. "Lots of... naked... skin. Skin on skin."
- Dr. Evans asks if these dreams are about Clark and Lois gets defensive and says that yes, she's doing the "virtual kama sutra" with Clark Kent, and refers to her desk as "soft-core central."
- Dr. Evans suggests that Lois's dream may have something to do with wanting to uncover something that's hidden within Clark. Lois admits she does feel like he is hiding something, and that the closer she gets to him, the more she feels like Clark is going to disappear.
- "The Red-Blue Blur" calls while Lois is talking with Dr. Evans. The ring tone is "Holding Out For A Hero" (though of course this could change). Lois sends him to voice mail. Apparently the last time Lois opened up to the RBB, he vanished into thin air. The doctor suggests she still has feelings for this "mysterious caller," but Lois insists that he's history like "eight-track tapes" and "rotary phones."
- Chloe by this point knows that Clark has been calling Lois as "The Blur." She is there with him on the other side of the line. There is a reference made to "what happened with Corbin" from "Metallo."
- Chloe tells Clark he's going to need a better disguise.
- Something happens at one point that makes Lois think Clark is the Blur. The Blur does eventually reach her by the phone, however.
- Also in this episode it is Clark, not the Blur, who saves Lois from danger out on a ledge. There's a scene (possibly around the same moment?) where Lois wants to confess her feelings for him, and Clark looks deeply into her eyes, though it's unknown if they actually say anything.
- Dr. Evans tells Lois that there will be a time when she will have to choose between the Blur and Clark.
- Zan and Jayna may be transforming themselves into a black panther... and a sheet of ice.
- The Metropolis D.A., Ray Sacks, holds a televised press conference urging the Blur to "step out of the shadows." He invites Clark to show himself and take responsibility for his actions" at a public press conference and derides his work as "vigilante behavior."
- Later at the press conference, the Blur doesn't show... but Lois does... announcing that she knows the Blur. She then has a monologue about how and why the Blur can't come out and make his presence known, and that he needs to be what we all need - a symbol to believe in, and a light in the darkness.
- This episode will have a very "V For Vendetta" moment within."
