It's mysterious. It's adventurous. It's Superman before he was Superman. Ever wonder how Clark Kent and Lex Luther became such mortal enemies? Who was the girl in Clark's life before Lois Lane? What does Lex Luther's father have to do with any of it?
Being a show about a superhero, Smallville follows the cycle of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey to a tee. There are several subtle references to The Man of Steel we're all familiar with. And special appearances are made by previous Supermen. So, if you're looking for a show that makes you think and answers questions you never thought you had, then watch this show. You won't be disappointed. And if you are disappointed, let me remind you that it is a CW show based on a comic book, so don't set your standards too high.
