In 2001, the WB Network debuted a new television show based on DC Comics' premier superhero, Superman. But this series had a unique spin. It would tell the tale of schoolboy Clark Kent, growing up with his parents as he begins to discover his powers, which seem to be ignited by puberty. The series was pitched to the network under the tagline "no tights, no flights" and was titled Smallville.
Smallville was the WB Network's highest-rated premiere of all time, and the series went on to run for 11 seasons. Smallville featured Tom Welling as Clark Kent, and delighted DC fans by introducing variations of numerous DC characters into the show, including Aquaman, Mera, Cyborg, Impulse, Zatanna, Stargirl, Black Canary, and members of the Legion of Super-Heroes! In addition to featuring many characters from the pages of the comic books, Smallville also paid great respect to the DC mythos by featuring many actors who were part of previous live-action DC ventures. In this tour, we'll take a look at these legacy-guest stars!
