New Comic Book Faves Swoop Into Smallville

As Clark Kent grows ever closer to becoming Superman, he will encounter more and more familiar visitors from the pages of DC Comics. Joining Smallville Season 9 villain Major Zod and his Kryptonian cronies Faora and Basqat, as well as Toyman, Metallo and Roulette, will be the Wonder Twins, the Justice Society of America and Green Arrow’s sidekick, Speedy! “It’s the newest version of Speedy,” says exec producer Brian Peterson. “Her name is Mia Dearden.” In the comics, Mia ran away from her abusive father and became a child prostitute who contracted HIV (fun stuff, eh?). The TV character will likewise be HIV-positive. “She has a sordid past and crosses paths with Oliver [Green Arrow] in some shady places,” says exec producer Kelly Souders. “But he gives her hope.” Mia, who will debut her red-and-yellow comic colors in Episode 6, has “amazing martial-arts skills” yet to be honed, Peterson says. Ollie will step in to train her.
Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna—from the Super Friends Saturday-morning cartoon series that ran in the ’70s and ’80s—pop up in Episode 8. Though they won’t have pointy ears, they’ll be wearing purple and will “activate” into an ice sheet and a cougar. There will even be a glimpse of their blue monkey, Gleek.
This winter, the Justice Society of America, whose members include Hawkman, Spectre, Doctor Fate and the Atom, come out of retirement to give “the screwed-up guys of the next generation a needed smack down,” says comic book author Geoff Johns, who wrote last season’s Legion of Superheroes episode and is also penning a big-screen Flash feature film for Warner Bros. “They’re the Mystery heroes who started it all–like the Watchmen.”
According to DC Comics lore, the JSA is a World War II-era team of aging superheroes who exist in an alternate reality universe known as ‘Earth Two.’ Popular members include Hawkman, Spectre, Hourman, Doctor Fate and the Atom, along with alternate grey-haired versions of Superman and Batman. Johns won’t say which members he’s writing in to the mid-season episode (it’ll be based on legal clearances), except to say they’ll be in their 40’s and mainstays Jay Garrick (the original Flash) and Alan Scott (the original Green Lantern) will not be included. “It’s going to be about them coming out of retirement to give these screwed up guys of the next generation a needed smack-down.”
And remember old Perry White, last seen as an alcoholic tabloid reporter in season three (played by Michael McKean)? Peterson says ‘The Chief’ may finally be “working his way to the Daily Planet.”
Ahora mismo no puedo traducírosla, pero a grandes rasgos principalmente destacaré que hablan de los nuevos personajes de DC que van a salir en esta temporada: los Gemelos Fantásticos, que puede que incluso veamos un atisbo de su famoso mono azul. De la JSA hanconfirmado que el original Flash y Green Lantern no serán de los miembros que veremos, aunque aún siguen sin mencionar con quién podremos contar "por aclaraciones legales" y que regresan para darle a los actuales jóvenes miembros de la Liga un buen tirón de orejas. Confirman que junto a Zod estarán Faora y Basqat. También cuentan un poco la historia de "Speedy", la ayudante de Green Arrow (para quienes no sepáis de ella antes por los cómics, tiene una historia bastante dura: sufrió abusos por su padre y eso hizo que acabara en las calles haciéndose prostituta siendo apenas una niña y contrayendo el virus del Sida). Brian Peterson ha confirmado que su personaje en la serie también será seropositiva, que tiene un sórdido pasado y que se cruza con Oliver en lugares bastante turbios, pero que "él le da esperanza", que Oliver la entrenará en las artes marciales y que la veremos antes de Crossfire en el capítulo 6, que os recuerdo que es Roulette.
Y lo que más me ha alegrado personalmente... Le han preguntado a Peterson sobre la posibilidad de que por fin aparezca Perry y su contestación ha sido: "El Jefe puede que finalmente esté tomando su camino hacia el Daily Planet".
esta Kelly cada vez me deja peor 
...ya quiero ver el primer capítulo....
hasta el 25 se me esta haciendo eternoo!!
