And even though Superman is going to appear on Supergirl officially when the season begins, he won’t be around all that often, and viewers can almost pretend that this is a spiritual follow-up, since Smallville was more about Clark Kent than Superman anyway.
Smallville was first announced to be making its way to Hulu earlier this year, though the actual release date remained undisclosed until only recently.
I mean, there are tons of differences, and Smallville’s Supergirl Laura Vandervoort actually was on Supergirl already, but hey, Luthor’s company has the same name. so that’s something.
It’s the perfect time for the WB/CW drama to hit streaming, too, as all of the CW’s DC dramas will be starting up in the first half of October.
