SMALLVILLE: SEASON 9
Soaring into its ninth season, this modern retelling of the Superman legend and its classic characters continues to blend realism, action and emotional depth to reveal a new interpretation of the enduring mythology. This season, as Metropolis' clock tower tolls our characters' darkest hour, we find Clark Kent (Tom Welling) finally making his first attempts to embrace his calling as a superhero.

After the events of last season, Clark takes on the mantle of protector of Metropolis, trading in his familiar red-and-blue for black-and-gray, sticking to the city's shadows and rooftops to become a solitary sentry simply known as "the Blur." While Clark wrestles with his identity, feeling forced to choose between his Kryptonian heritage and human past, he'll encounter even more powerful enemies and allies from across the DC Universe. This season will feature new and past nemeses, including Metallo (Brian Austin Green, "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles"), the man with the Kryptonite heart; Roulette, a sexy mastermind; the return of Toyman; and the always-treacherous Zod (Callum Blue) as a young Major and leader of an invading alien army, who befriends fellow Kryptonian Clark just as his venomous side is beginning to emerge. This season will also feature an appearance by DC Comics' first all-star team of superheroes, the Justice Society of America, in an episode penned by renowned comic book writer Geoff Johns, who returns to the show after writing last year's fan favorite episode, "Legion."

After a year of protecting Metropolis as the "Red-Blue Blur," Clark Kent finished season eight with the weight and fate of the world on his shoulders, facing down Doomsday. Clark emerged victorious, but his decision to ignore the Justice League's warnings and save the human side of medic Davis Bloome (Sam Witwer) from the monster Doomsday came with a tragic cost – Davis turned out to be just as evil as the beast he'd been bonded to, and murdered Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore) in front of Chloe (Alison Mack), the woman they both loved. In the wake of Jimmy's death, Chloe retreated into her Watchtower, the Justice League disbanded, and Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley) went into a downward spiral, retiring his Green Arrow persona. And Clark turned his back on his own humanity, leaving behind life as "Clark Kent" to exist solely as "the Blur." Meanwhile, Tess Mercer's (Cassidy Freeman) obsession with Clark's Kryptonian origins came to a head when she confronted intrepid reporter Lois Lane (Erica Durance) about a mysterious alien orb that Tess thought Lois had stolen from her, resulting in the two women battling it out in the Daily Planet. During the fight, Lois touched Clark's time-traveling Legion Ring and vanished in a flash of light, lost somewhere in time. And Tess returned home to discover the orb had released a young version of the villainous Kryptonian, Zod, as well as the entire population of the lost alien city of Kandor. But Clark finished the season unaware of this new threat. Instead, he remains haunted by Lois' sudden disappearance, fearing the woman he cares about most could have been killed during his fight with Doomsday.

The season nine premiere takes place three weeks after Clark and Doomsday's epic battle. Obsessed with becoming the hero the world needs, Clark is now literally leaving his mark on Metropolis – having fully embraced his Kryptonian side in order to finish training with his father Jor-El, Clark has started wearing the iconic "S"-shield on his chest, and spreads the symbol around the city in an effort to give its people hope.

Whereas Clark is working alone, Chloe feels driven to reunite the disbanded Justice League. Her biggest challenge is Oliver Queen, who'd rather lose himself in underground fight clubs and drunken one-night stands. Oliver's friends will hatch a plan to bring him back from the edge. Reconnecting with the hero inside of him, Oliver will return with a renewed purpose, even searching out an apprentice in Mia Dearden, DC comics' teenaged sidekick "Speedy."

Clark and Oliver will find themselves caught up in a love triangle with Lois, as both men's passions begin to burn brightly for her. Returning from her trip through time, Lois starts experiencing nightmarish visions of the future. Could they come true? If so, one not-so-troubling image is playing itself over and over in her head – Lois and Clark locked in a romantic, erotic embrace. Meanwhile, Clark continues to be conflicted over his own feelings for Lois. As the sparks fly, Lois and Clark's relationship will deepen, leading to their first true kiss, and possibly something more.

Meanwhile, Clark and Chloe's relationship is starting to become strained. No longer content just being Clark's sidekick, Chloe uses Watchtower's powerful computers to spin her own web of influence and intrigue, manipulating people like chess pieces in the name of the greater good. But when Chloe begins to believe the ends justify the means, it sends her on a collision course with her friend and ally Clark.

When it comes to master manipulators, Tess Mercer has emerged as the rightful heir to Lex Luthor's legacy. Always inscrutable, Tess has her hands full this season with an army of Kryptonians, newly arrived from the lost city of Kandor and led by the infamous Zod. However, this incarnation of Zod is younger than the one we remember – he has yet to grow into the power-mad psychopathic dictator, General Zod. Season nine's Zod may only be a Major, but he's already a cunning strategist and charismatic leader who knows how to inspire his troops. But behind his magnetism and those piercing eyes, Zod is still very dangerous. When Zod and Clark eventually meet, Clark recognizes that if he can befriend his fellow Kryptonian, he might be able to influence Zod away from becoming an evil, twisted tyrant. While it's true this Major Zod has certain vulnerabilities, it may only take a handful of betrayals to turn him into Clark's deadly arch-nemesis.

"Smallville" was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon," "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor"), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

Through the write-up, we now have an idea of how the 9th season is going to pan out. I can't believe they didn't list TW as co-exec producer.

-Clark's suit is black, but the S symbol is made of gray crayon. I'm glad he is
working alone and not joining any group at this point in his life.

-The Clark/Lois relationship will be told from Clark's viewpoint in terms of his
feelings for her. Last season saw the reverse. The Clark/ Lois/ Oliver triangle
will be short-lived, but I hope it's not anything like the Clark/ Lex/ Lana
triangle.

-The only storyline I'm worrying about is the main one between Clark and Zod.
I don't want to see a repeat of Clark/ Lex or Clark/ Doomsday. It'll probably be the reverse where Zod betrays Clark.

-More and more I'm convinced that this season will be Chloe's final one as she
takes Oliver's approach of the ends justifying the means and trying to reunite the Justice League. The collision between her and Clark tells me that their
friendship will end tragically.

-If Oliver takes up Mia as his sidekick, then Mia needs to be a recurring
character. It doesn't make sense to have her be one if she appears in only
one episode.

-It looks like Tess will not interact with Clark as much as last season because
she will have her hands full with Oliver, Zod, and the Kryptonian army.

All in all, a good write-up for the 9th season that should serve as a guide for
all of us to keep track throughout the year.

I can't believe what they are doing with Chloe, She doesn't deserve something like that is the opposite of her personality, know she's an obsessive and manipulative person?? they are just making sure everyone hates her, so when they kill her no one will miss her.

I guess, since she's an original character, they could do anything to her. We all have no idea how she'd end up becoming... and to be quite honest, Chloe has so many different sides, one minute, she's innocent, then she's not... one minute she's nice, then she can me kinda mean... for all I know she can be the #1 bad person in the future...

I've always felt last season was Chloe's darkest hour and they're just taking it to another level in the 9th season. I've wonder if Chloe's actions in the 9th season will also put her at odds with Lois.

Clark and Lois are on one side while Chloe, Oliver, and the rest of the JL are on the other. Zod and his army are on another side of their own. This could be a 3 way dance.

Season 9 sounds pretty kool. The only storyline that I'm worried about is Clark and Zod.

It sounds like they are just repeating the Clark and Lex storyline, like has been said before. I just hope it doesn't come off as repetitive. Fingers crossed.

Also, the Chloe thing? It doesn't bother me. It seems like a natural evolution from where she was. Last season was dark for Chloe and it seems like season 9 is upping that. I will be interested to see how they handle her departure this year, as Allison has said that season 9 will be her last season.

But we will see how it plays out. I, for one, will be watching.

As much as I hate the way they´ve been writing the character in the last two seasons, I don´t see Chloe´s view of the world in shades of grey as a surprise. She´s never been a black & white kind of person like Clark and the Kents, and it´s one of the things that I´ve seen in common between her and Lex.

I wish her exploration of the "dark" side that came in Season 8 had happened in Season 7 while Lex was still around (that had been the plan, by the way, an amnesiac Chloe and not Kara finding refuge with Lex at the mansion. Unfortunately KK ruined things for us Chlexers when she signed again at the last minute and they had to rewrite what was written and kill the Chlex). That would have been interesting to see. Had her kick some butt alongside Lex and leave the show with a bang with the billionaire. What they´re planning to do now... I simply can´t stand it.

I wished that Chloe would had gone dark side, I remember during season 3 in the episode Truth, where she was exposed to the Truth serum, how she acted with people exposing the teacher, not caring about hurting them, than she went behind Clark's back to get information from him for Lionel of all people. And one line that it will seem will play out how she would never betray Clark, or there will be a time she does something Clark would never forgive her for and he says "today is not that day". So maybe that day is Upon us.

Chloe had gone to the dark in the 3rd season. That was a hint that there could be betrayals from her. Last season saw Chloe siding with Davis/ Doomsday that got many people killed, including Henry James Olsen. This will continue with Chloe and the friction between her and Clark will escalate. I also wonder if this will put Chloe at odds with Lois as well.

It also seems that the people that are on Clark's side are Lois, Jor-El, Martian Manhunter, and the Legion. The Wonder Twins could also be on his side as well.

Interesting write up and I am so far liking Clark, Lois and Oliver arc. I am not surprised by the CLark/Zod line. It wouldn't be Clark Kent if he doesn't try to keep from Zod becoming evil. I am really curious as to what happened in the future and how Lois ties into the Clark/Zod storyline.

After last season that saw Lois being the only one who didn't play a role in the Doomsday storyline, they are making it up for this season by having her involved more in the Clark/ Zod storyline. Clark might know that Major Zod is from the past and that he might think that by preventing him from becoming evil, the world would be safe. However, I wonder if Zod betrays him by using Clark to get he and his army powers like his.

Great write up I can't believe they didn't say about TW being Co.E.P.

The Clark/Zod storyline puzzling me.Afer they meet won't Zod know that Clark is Kal-El? son of his enemy. If SV goes to S10 it's gonna be a long story. I personally don't want to see it go that long.

I am looking forward to the new season.
