How do you follow up one of the most anticipated “Smallville” episodes in recent memory that featured the marriage of Chloe Sullivan and Jimmy Olson, the return of Lana Lang and the first appearance of Doomsday?
Bring on the Legion of Superheroes.
Next Thursday, “Smallville” returns from its winter break with an all-new episode that introduces Clark Kent to the Legion of Superheroes. The episode will also deal with the aftermath of Chloe’s wedding and her kidnapping by Doomsday.
Written by veteran comic writer Geoff Johns, “Legion” could be one of the most anticipated and exciting episodes of “Smallville” this season.
Here’s the official press-released from the CW on the episode.
DC COMICS’ LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ARRIVE IN SMALLVILLE FROM THE FUTURE TO HELP CLARK STOP BRAINIAC AND THE PERSUADER — The aftermath of Doomsday’s (Sam Witwer) attack on Chloe (Allison Mack) and Jimmy’s (Aaron Ashmore) wedding leaves Clark (Tom Welling) in shock, but before he can search for the kidnapped Chloe, The Persuader (guest star Fraser Aithceson) appears and attacks him. Rokk (guest star Ryan Kennedy), Imra (guest star Alexz Johnson) and Garth (guest star Calum Worthy), also known as The Legion, step in from the future to help vanquish the Persuader and the group realizes Brainiac has taken over Chloe once again. Meanwhile, up at the Fortress, Chloe, as Brainiac, informs Davis he is Doomsday and was created to kill “the other Kryptonian” and destroy the world.
“Smallville” returns Thursday, January 15 at 8 p.m. EST on the CW.
