15 Reasons To Check Out ‘Smallville’ When It Hits Hulu

4: Geoff Johns’ Episodes

Season 8 marked the first year when DC Comics legend Geoff Johns (now the Chief Creative Officer, President and Co-Head of DC Films) wrote his first episode of the series titled “Legion” which introduced the Legion of Super-Heroes to the Smallville Universe. After Season 5 of the show, Smallville started becoming more comic book-y with introducing more heroes and villains in Clark’s life. After Season 8, Johns would come back once per season to write an episode and it became such a huge deal that it became an event itself every fall when fans were looking forward to his episode. He wrote a two-part story featuring the Justice Society of America in Season 9 that was the perfect time to introduce a group like that as Clark was taking the next steps in heroic journey. The final season, Johns introduced the fan favorites Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) as Clark was almost at the end of his journey to become Superman.
