Looks like once again you lucky people over the western side are going to get some nice juicy movie previews before the rest of us. Smallville is set to show an eight minute preview of Batman Begins during its final episode of the season. From Rope of Silicon:
“This is a great night for fans of the two most popular superheroes in the history of American Pop Culture,” said David Janollari, President of Entertainment at The WB. “Fans of ‘Smallville’ will not want to miss this special extended version of what will be the series best-ever season finale…
…”Superman and Batman have always been inextricably linked to each other, so it seems fitting that a show chronicling the Man of Steel’s youth give you the first look at the birth of the Dark Knight,” said Al Gough, executive producer of “Smallville.”…
…May 18 promises to reveal exciting new chapters in the history of these legends, and kick off a summer that fans will never forget.”
Looks set to be a good episode indeed. Perhaps the rest of the world will be allowed to view it on the Internet rather than wait for the episode to be bought by our countries networks!
It’s interesting that Gough mentions Batman as the Dark Knight, a nice comic reference instead of the poor movie franchise, and talks so strongly about the link. If only the Studios would think like this for the Batman vs Superman story.
