Those of us who have followed Smallville for nine seasons know that the series has had its share of ups and downs. But that said, this current season has been one of its best (and perhaps the best). It's creatively reinvigorated, the storylines are wild yet tight, and while it really doesn't align all that much with current DC Comics continuity, it quite often pays tribute to the rich comic-book source material it springs from. In the recent past, we've seen Supergirl, J'onn J'onzz, and the Legion of Superheroes. But now (and you might want to set your DVRs for this now) the show is going to go all out with the original superhero team, the Justice Society. It'll all take place on the show's first-ever two-hour movie event (called Absolute Justice), airing February 5. The story is written by Geoff Johns and promises quite a few surprises (such as, just who are all the JSAers who will be appearing?). So far, we can safely name three, because we've seen them in photos: Stargirl, Dr. Fate, and Hawkman. Who else? I don't know yet, but I'm waiting patiently and excitedly.
