Comic Con: Smallville and Supernatural panels

Today was the day to be at Comic Con if you are a fan of some popular TV shows that held their panels. The two I would have attended in a flash are "Smallville" and "Supernatural." After having watched some bootleg videos on YouTube from the "Smallville" panel, I am super excited for the final season of the show. Here are some highlights (warning: spoilers ahead).

Smallville's Panel:


(Insert loud fangirl squeal here!)

Holy Batman, is that the Superman suit I see before me? Indeed it is! In the clip shown at the panel, Lois opens a case and reveals the Superman suit which appears to be the same suit used in "Superman Returns" (thank you, God!) and Lois also utters the phrase "Superman." (double squeal!)

Lois also seems to know Clark's secret (i.e. that he has superpowers).

Kara, a.k.a Supergirl, is back, along with Brainiac.

Clark's new partner at the Daily Planet is none other than Cat Grant (squeal again!).

Other reveals from the panel are that Tom Welling at some point has been approached about starring in a Superman movie, although he did not say when. Hmmm. I suppose he would be my second choice behind Brandon Routh, so this news did not upset me in the least. You can read more by visiting the Superman Homepage.

Supernatural's Panel




When the show returns this season, it will be one year after the events of the last episode, and Dean (Jensen Ackles) will be "domesticated." That is just weird, folks. Jensen said, "He’s living a somewhat normal life. This season will focus on how he gets pulled back into the situation and how he deals with that.”

New showrunner Sera Gamble said the boys will get back to their monster-chasing roots, and a female relative of theirs will also show up. Castiel will be back, and he'll try to help heaven return to order.

Personally, I'm excited by the talk about the Winchesters' history being explored. Remember, their mother's family -- the Campbells -- were the demon hunters. For some strange reason, I really dig that. Hmmm. ;)

Anyway, you can see some clips from that panel here.
