Smallville Gets Its Decade Run.
Nearly 10 Years ago, the WB created a show about a young Clark Kent in high school. They wanted to show his origin in a way that wasn’t done before, to show Superman growing up. The show starting in his freshman year of High School, now leading a post college Clark Kent trying to balance his day job at the Daily Plant sitting across from Lois Lane, and crime fighting at night with the Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman, Black Canary, Impulse, and the most recently shown JSA.
