Smallville Absolute Justice Episode Photo Gallery
By Krystal Clark
It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for “Smallville” to tackle a real Justice League storyline and it’s finally happening. They’ve touched on it before with various characters like Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, and of course Green Arrow, but the big reveal is upon us. The episode is entitled “Absolute Justice” (fitting) and we’ve got some photos from the two hour event…
A new episode of “Smallville” will air tonight, but it won’t be “Absolute Justice,” which won’t premiere until next week. It will mark the arrival of DC Comic characters Hawkman, Star Girl, Dr. Fate, and many more from the Justice Society of America. Last year The CW was trying to figure out if they would air it as two separate episodes, or a full movie, and guess what they chose? It will be a single night event that will hopefully lead to Clark embracing more of his Superman-like qualities.
Several photos have been released in promotion of the episode, and honestly a few of them worry me. This is a TV show, and it doesn’t have the budget of The Dark Knight or Superman Returns, but the costumes for Hawkman and Dr. Fate look cheap, cheap, and more cheap. Their masks are the weakest parts of their outfits, and the same goes for Stargirl. She doesn’t exactly look up to code either.
Do you like how the Justice Society is portrayed on Smallville? Are you excited to see the the two part episode?

I looked at the pics and well… they should have saved up a couple houndred thou to make the costume lil more of what they should look like.. say the Doctor Fate's helm should look more metallic and less plasticish. even a gold leaf coating would drastically improve the look

The costume kind not real.

It all about image. Look at the big pictures. That an key word. It has to make it look real so, people can see it.

Totally gay. Somebody put this show out of it's misery – please.
Saturday, January 30, 2010 2:22AM
Try work on new fresh idea of costume to make it looks real

still a great show havent missed a show and have all the seasons every now and then some episodes suck but deal with it cant all be great

This show sucks now!!!!!!!! And clark still ain't flyin'. These costumes look like something kids wear on halloween.

for one the heroes portrayed in the upcoming dual part episode are from the original justice society. there costumes are not going to be modernized. in this episode the original members are from a long time ago. u gotta think along with the storyline people. they cant be to modernized without completley going against the plot of the movie. think people think.

People have to support the show and give it attention or a company will NOT sink money into it. Everyone is on the gay little vampire phase and not staying true to their mainline shows.

I agree the show has been unpleasant to watch the last few years even though I keep on doing so. Ever since they couldn't re-sign Kristen Kruek (Lana) and Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) along with John and Martha Kent the show has sucked. It shows in the budget. What keeps us coming around is waiting for the Lois and Clark crap and Justice Society or League of America. Over the years we've had Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, the Wonder Twins and of course the main stay of Green Arrow. I just wish they had the budget too add not only Hawkman but also Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Shazam etc. Kill the Smallville and make Justice Society or League of America. I'll watch the 2 hour Smallville JSA episode but I'll probably be let down again.

I for one love Smallville. I never miss an episode. I think the storyline has been great to this point. I don't like to see them rushing into anything anyways. The only reason they would rush into is if they were ending the series soon.. Which I will be VERY disappointed if they do. Smallville is the only show on cw that I watch. They need to keep things interesting and not force things to happen, get creative and add some new storyline that isn't in the comic books. That way it is a surprise. Anyways, I hope this 2hour smallville is good. I';m sure it will be. They are all good. And CW, if you cancel this show, I will flood your emails with complaints. Thanks

Like most people said, once it went to CW it really went down hill. Some of it is good (green arrow aquaman etc). The costumes for the JSA are really really bad (though hawkmans in the early comics sorta looked like that) since we never saw martian manhunter in full outfit, or aquaman and flash for that matter, why didnt they make the JSA characters sorta look like that?. Now for all you people who want Batman, Wonderwomen, Shazam, Green lantern etc, just be patient they will be coming. The best bart about showing these JSA characters is that people get to see OTHER DC characters aside from the usual (though the cartoon helped with that very well). Still impressed smallville is still going, it could be better……then again what do you expect from CW?

What season is already shown there? I only watched season 8 here in Philppines

I think they should have re imagined or grounded the costumes like they did for the Justice League fellas.
Saturday, January 30, 2010 6:13AM
I don't like what they,ve done too the whole show since CW took over. They Suck Big Time. Please people read a comic,and what,s with these dumb costumes. Superheroes are suppose too be cool. And all of Clark,s romances have be ripped apart,none of the story lines make since anymore. Please put some money into the show an make it better,or you will lose another fan.

I agree with some people on here…Ever since the CW took over…the writing makes no sense…the costumes are awful…This show has been on too long and should have ended when Clark graduated HS…The new villains are consistently weak and with the lack of a budget, Comic Book supervillains look stupid…i.e. Doomsday…WTF was that anyway?
Saturday, January 30, 2010 6:53AM
I still love this show don,t listen to these TOOLS you can't introduce batman yet . This is a young Clark Kent the Dark Knight hasn't made that transformation yet .But if I was in a think tank for the CW I would consider having Clark Kent crossing paths with Bruce Wayne. These comic book geeks get to serious !!!!!!!!!!!! I know this because I am one. GO CW as long as the ratings are up!

Who cares? This show jumped the shark long ago. Clark at this point should be wearing the glasses and in full Superman mode, complete with the signature costume. This once promising show is now just tired, tired, tired.
Saturday, January 30, 2010 2:27AM
Man Smallville is starting to suck ass man.It was better when clark was in highschool on Lana's Jock.I mean how hard is it to make superman cool?Just read a frigging comic and modernize it!The costumes look kinda dumb man and what the hell happened to Lex luthor?Duuuuuhh there cant be batman without a joker and there cant be a superman without a lex luther !Uhh…. Im about to stop watching the whole show if this one sucks ass like almost all off last season.
Saturday, January 30, 2010 2:35AM
yea the story is so unclear
Saturday, January 30, 2010 3:32PM
Frankie … they can't do anything Batman-related due to ownership rights … as for the costumes for next week's two-hour herogasm, keep in mind they're reviving "long ago" heroes … this how those heroes appeared in their golden age incarnations … not unlike the "old" versions in Watchmen

Apparently ppl don't understand the concept of a budget in so little time. It isn't going to be perfect nor is it going to be like the comics or graphic novels. This show is its own genre
Saturday, January 30, 2010 10:19PM
That's no excuse for putting out crappy material. These costumes look like Party City bargain shelf junk. The problem isn't so much budget or time constraints, but rather the lack of talent and imagination among the costume designers. The Hawkman mask is embarrassingly bad. This two hour Justice League 'event' should help ensure the series will not get picked up for next year. Lionel wasn't pushed out the window by Lex – he voluntarily jumped to avoid seeing what this show has become.

I REALLY LIKE THE SHOW! SUPER HERO TV SHOWS HAVE COME A LONG WAY FROM THE 60'S BATMAN SHOW. I THINK THE IDIOTS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SHOW SHOULD GET OFF THE COUCH AND THE COMPUTER AND GET A LIFE. THE WORLD IS BECOMING FULL OF SELF RIGHTOUS, COMPLAINING IDIOTS. CUT THE SHOW SOME SLACK, WE COULD HAVE WORSE! BUT I KNOW I'M TALKING ON DEAF EARS.

DAMN THIS BS JUST PUT DARKSEID NOW AND THEN END THE SHOW
THE END …then superman could wear his blue and red but realistic like.
EVERYONE AND THAT WHAT YOU CALLED A SERIES FINALE
