Here a synopsis:
"While secretly working for Oliver (guest-star Justin Hartley), Chloe (Allison Mack) intercepts one of Lex¹s (Michael Rosenbaum) project files, but she is attacked by the Black Canary (guest-star Alaina Huffman), a mystery woman with a subsonic cry. Dinah Lance, Black Canary's alter ego, is a conservative talk show host who is working at the Daily Planet and clashes with Lois (Erica Durance). Lex convinces the Black Canary that the Green Arrow and his team are terrorists so she launches an attack on the Green Arrow and Clark (Tom Welling). Meanwhile, Lois discovers Oliver's secret."
The thing I don't get about "Smallville" is why they keep featuring appearances by costumed, or pseudo-costumed DC heroes, yet, they won't go ahead and put Clark Kent in a cape. Is it all related to the lawsuit over the Superboy character (heirs of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are fighting DC Comics for the rights)? Do they think an actual Superman/Superboy series wouldn't work? Or they want to "save" Superman for movies and not TV?
I don't know. But the couple of times I've watched the show I've been bored.
I have heard that the reason it is about Clark Kent and not Superboy is that the Siegel family has the rights to Superboy but for some reason no rights to Clark Kent. They seem to be over looking that if Clark is still being portrayed as a young boy and he has superpowers then he already is Superboy. They are afraid that once he dons the costume they will be sued again.
