OK, that's more than a bit of an overstatement, but it is still going to be awesome! We don't need to get into how big a fan of Smallville I am, and I won't write about why I'm so excited about tonight, because, frankly, I already have! So, instead, let me just repost that for any of you that didn't read it the first time:
"This is huge. Debuting in 1940, the Justice Society of America, or JSA, was the first team of superheroes in comic book history, and indeed the first time readers realized all their favorite superheroes existed in the same universe. They were the all-star team of DC Comics, if you will. No longer did readers have to buy separate comic book titles to catch the adventures of their favorite superheroes; they were now all together in one comic.
But enough of the history lesson. Although Smallville has introduced many guest characters from the pages of DC Comics before, this is the first time an entire team will be introduced, as well as the first hint at a larger superhero world outside of Smallville. Every prior introduction has been within the mythology of the show, but the introduction of the JSA is going to blow the doors wide open. We will know that there is an entire world of heroes, and that this is no longer a show set within Smallville or Metropolis, but indeed the entire DC Universe. I can't wait!"
..........
I can't wait, indeed! I'll check back in again after the show and write about what I thought. I really hope this episode matches my level of excitement.
