KryptonSite

July 29, 2026 will mark the release of the first issue of the new Titan Comics series Black Star which is written by Smallville alum and current Murder In A Small Town star Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) alongside collaborators Peter Mooney and Eric Putzer with art by Joe Bacardo.

The latest film from the “DCU” movie universe, Supergirl, launches in less than a week, with Milly Alcock taking on the role of Kara, cousin of Kal-El. She was first introduced in a very fun scene in last year’s Superman film, and there are many people looking forward to seeing it. However, in some of the more toxic areas of the Internet, people aren’t so enthusiastic.

Superman & Lois writer Adam Mallinger, perhaps best known to his audience as “The Bitter Script Reader” back in the day, has launched a new blog titled Super Fan XL where much of the content will be a look back at his favorite era of Superman comics — the era begun after Crisis on Infinite Earths where writer/artist John Byrne first started the legend over again.

We are now less than a month away from the premiere of My Adventures With Superman Season 3 and Adult Swim has released a new trailer to promote it. The trailer is full of things that should excite Super-fans, including a Cyborg Superman-looking character, a Superboy (voiced by Darren Criss from Glee!), Giganta, and more. The new season premieres Saturday, June 13 at midnight ET/PT as part of Toonami on Adult Swim; episodes then drop on HBO Max the next day.

Do you know where you were on May 13, 2011? If you were a regular visitor to KryptonSite back in the day, you know very well where you were – anxiously anticipating that Friday night’s airing of the final two episodes of Smallville on The CW. Would Clark finally put on the suit? How will Lex come back? Will Clark and Lois get married? Will Chloe change her name to become L– oh, never mind that one.

We are as excited as everyone else around here for Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Smallville convention in November as it will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the show! KryptonSite’s Craig Byrne (that’s me!) is back to co-emcee the event with good friend and fellow enthusiast Derek Russell from The House of El. Guests for the show include Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Laura Vandervoort, John Glover, Sam Jones III, Helen Slater, Eric Johnson, Erica...

The CW will be paying homage to one of its classics at a time when their current direction has been going far, far away. The network, which was home to Smallville as well as such fan-favorite shows as Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, The Flash, Arrow and more, has mostly gone the way of acquired TV from other countries, reality TV, and sports since the Nexstar organization took control of The CW and reduced owners CBS (now Paramount) and Warner Bros.

Appearing yesterday on The Jennifer Hudson Show to promote his show Tracker, Justin Hartley was asked by Hudson if he’d ever like to play a superhero again… and his response might be surprising and of course welcomed by the Smallville fandom. “I would love to play a superhero again,” he told her, continuing on to say which superhero he’d like to play.

Kristin Kreuk (Smallville’s Lana Lang) is writing an upcoming comic book! Kristin is a writer and co-creator on Black Star, a new Titan Comics series that she is writing with collaborators Peter Mooney and Eric Putzer. It’s described as “a Northern Gothic noir steeped in horror and dark humor.” The series will be illustrated by artist Joe Bocardo.

Wednesday isn’t the only Alfred Gough and Miles Millar hit on Netflix these days: Weeks after being made available internationally on Netflix (where, sadly, it is not available in the United States — we have to watch on Hulu), Smallville is trending globally as one of the top ten series available on Netflix. Considering the show premiered nearly 25 years ago, this is quite the accomplishment! To those who have been reading KryptonSite for the past, well, 25 years, it should be no surprise.
