Smallville Sixth Season and Start of the Justice League
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I have loved Superman since my childhood (and I am almost 60 now!), and this show offers a unique look at the influences that shaped the "Man of Steel." It is based on the life of young Clark Kent as he is growing up in Smallville, Kansas. In this season, he is in his early 20's and has developed many contacts at the Daily Planet, where he will eventually work. It's quite true to the comic version, and who wouldn't believe that this guy (Tom Welling) fell out of the sky! He's certainly heavenly.
In this season Clark takes some giant steps toward becoming the superhero he is destined to be. There is even a segment in which he is given a red cape! Great fun to watch over and over, as there are many subtle references to Clark's future work that are easy to miss the first time around. Lex Luthor, his former friend, becomes even more distant and dark in his dealings with Clark.
The music in this collection alone would be worth having. The producers always choose contemporary artists and do a great job of fitting the background music to the scenes. Now I can replay any segment of the show I want...
I also chose this collection because it is the beginning of the Justice League, which features Superman and a host of other fascinating super heroes working together to serve the world. In this season most of the League's characters are together for one episode, and I loved the long shot of them walking away from the Luthor plant, which is in flames behind them.
Can you tell I love my purchase? Great stories, good believeable characters, fine music--and easy on the eyes, too. What more could you ask?
