I know this isn’t directly movie news, but I am a big geek and I just had to share this. I love Smallville, and despite some of its shortcomings and this season not being the greatest, the closing moments of last week’s episode just gave me chills. I geeked hard on this, and I am just going to throw this out there.
Last week’s episode Hex introduced Justice Leaguer Zatanna, and portrays the character as a picture perfect grab right out of the pages including tux jacket and fishnets. But introducing another Justice League staple was only half the fun. Chloe illustrates her future with the unnamed union of heroes we know as Justice League.
Is it just me, or does that look like the opening credits scene to a spinoff series for the Justice League? Perhaps titled “Watchtower”.
Let me to into quick speculation and prediction mode here (sometimes I am creepy accurate about my guesses) but rumour has it that a pivitol character will die, and a lot of speculation says Chloe. Maybe Chloe does “die” and takes on the name of Watchtower to assist the Justice League.
This might explain why the Legion doesn’t know anything about Chloe in the future. If she is the central hub of the Justice League’s communications and information, it is possible that she wiped any connection of her identity as Watchtower to Chloe and in the far future no one knows who Watchtower was before taking on the title.
I would totally be in for a spinoff series. Smallville long ago distanced itself from Canon in the Superman story and its been a fun ride. I would love to see it grow.
