–Beware–

SPOILERS Belooow!!

TV Guide has posted some big spoilers regarding the September 27 season premiere of "Smallville." Turn back now if you don’t want to know a thing!

* By the middle of the premiere, one woman will be officially pronounced dead.

* Lex will find himself in a watery situation that harkens back to the original pilot… only this time, it’s another alien saving his life.

* Those folks who hated Jimmy will be happy to see that he grows a major spine and sucker-punches a certain Young Man of Steel.

* Bizarro Clark will get his hands on Lois… and she’ll kind of like it.

* Expect massive effects after a dam burst brings out Clark’s, um, hottest power.

* By the end of the episode, the new girl in town will be ready for her close-up.

DC smartly confronted this issue right up front in its book "9-11: The World’s Finest Comic Book

"Writers & Artists Tell Stories to Remember" ($9.95; 224pp.) Superman, trapped in the pages of a comicbook, laments his inability to "break free from the fictional pages where I live and breath…become real during times of crisis and right the wrongs of an unjust world."

Left behind as a fireman rushes into the flames, he adds, " A world fortunately protected by heroes of its own." When Superman, who has entered into the (inter)national consciousness as an emblem of American strength and goodwill, modestly salutes real heroics it feels right.

EXCLUSIVE: AL GOUGH REVEALS THE SECRETS OF SEASON 7 OF ‘SMALLVILLE’

iF Magazine answers the burning questions: Is former Supergirl Helen Slater playing Clark Kent’s real mom, who is Dean Cain’s Dr. Knox and will there be a Season 8?

iF: Among the guest stars announced for next season is Helen Slater, who’s been said to be playing "Kara’s aunt", and since in the comics Kara is Kal-el’s only cousin, doesn’t that mean that Slater is playing none other than Clark’s mother Lara?

GOUGH: Helen Slater will indeed be playing Lara in a series of flashbacks in Episode 6, and that may not be her only appearance this season!

iF: Dean Cain is also guesting this season, playing a character named Dr. Knox – friend, foe, or somewhere in-between?

GOUGH: Dean is definitely playing a foe. He is actually shooting his episode as I write this and he not only looks fantastic, but he really is a terrific actor as well.

iF: Phil Morris’ Martian Manhunter character will be appearing in quite a few of the next season’s early episode – are there plans to make him a semi-regular? And will we be learning more about him as the season progresses?

GOUGH: Martian Manhunter will remain a guest star, and we’ll learn more about him, but in our discussions with Phil, we all agree, the more mysterious and enigmatic the character remains, the better.

iF: Are Annette O’Toole and Michael Rosenbaum definitely leaving after this season?

GOUGH: Annette O’Toole is no longer a series regular, and we hope to bring Michael back for one more season after this one in some capacity.

iF: Any plans to bring back the proto-Justice League next season?

GOUGH: You won’t see the whole JLA gang again, but we will see Oliver Queen/GA sometime in the middle of the season with — hopefully — a new JLAer we haven’t met yet on the show.

iF: Has their been early talk of an eight season, or is it still a wait and see proposition?

GOUGH: We would all very much like a season 8, and that in our minds, would be the last season. But that will depend on many factors, not the least of which is ratings, so PLEASE KEEP WATCHING!

The video below is a dialog from "Kill Bill: Volume II" It’s a very interesting take on the whole Clark Kent/ Superman persona, and his place in human society. Take a look at clip and ask yourself if you think Tarantino got it right or not.
