Superman: The New Movie (Teaser Trailer)

"Smallville" is my favorite TV show, but unfortunately it's run its course and probably should have ended after the 5th Season. With all the cast changes next year it just won't be the same.:(

This is the first in a series of trailers for a film based on the "Smallville" storyline. In reference to the title of an aborted Superman film based on the "Superboy" TV show, I'm calling it "Superman: The New Movie."

As I said, the "Smallville" television series is the basis for this project, but it also serves as a vague history. "Superman: The New Movie" is not a direct continuation of "Smallville" and there are several plot and character elements which will differ from established series continuity. I will address some of them here and expand upon them as the project moves forward:

CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN: Given the lack of a Superman uniform on the series, one will have to stretch their imagination a bit in regards to when "Superman" is in action. For the purposes of this project, when Kal-El is in the blue shirt and red jacket, he is "Superman." Honestly I've grown tired of seeing him wearing it almost every episode in recent seasons, but I'll use that to my advantage here. When he's wearing anything else, he's "Clark Kent." I'll work in shots of him in glasses as much as I can, but there's not many of them. When he's with people who know his secret, the glasses are unecessary and it becomes a non-issue.

CHLOE SULLIVAN/LOIS LANE: I'm a supporter of "Chlois," Chloe Sullivan being Lois Lane and am convinced that was the original direction the series was headed in. Allison Mack's Chloe will always be Lois to me, and this will thusly be reflected in this project (and all my videos for that matter). Erica Durance's character does not exist in this version of the story. The development of Chloe's pseudonym "Lois Lane" will be dealt with eventually.

LEX LUTHOR: Lex has embraced his dark nature, but conducts his questionable practices and experiments undercover. His public face is of a respectable business tycoon. He and Clark are still friends in this version of the story, their dynamic much as it was in the early seasons of he series. Lex hates "Superman" not "Clark Kent," and when he learns the secret he feels betrayed which drives him to further madness.

THE KENTS: Jonathan and Martha are both alive and well. Neither is involved in politics, remaining farmers in Smallville. They continue to provide moral support and guidance for Clark.

That's the backstory. Here's the plot of "Superman: The New Movie":

Clark adopting his reporter persona and beginning his heroics as Superman. Chloe working her way to the top at the Daily Planet. Lex, embracing his dark nature, putting the pieces together about Clark's secret (and his weakness). When Lex's scientists (Dr. Hamilton among them) uncover a part of Clark's spaceship, Clark works to recover it before Lex can unlock its secrets. Chloe gets in over her head investigating Lex and is kidnapped. Lex's knowledge of Clark's true identity adds a new dynamic to their neverending battle.

Brilliant trailer, but I don't agree with you. I think season 8 is the best season since a long time, I hope there will be a season 9 because this season deserves a follow-up. Can't wait for January 15th.

This was posted back in June when news had hit about the departures of Gough, Millar, Rosenbaum and Kreuk. I had no idea what Season 8 would hold but based on the rather weak Season 7 I didn't have high hopes. I'm pleasantly surprised with how good this season has been, as I'd rank it third after Seasons 1 and 5 (my two favorites). However, that doesn't mean I want to see a Season 9. They've gone so far with the story this year that another season would just be stretching out the inevitable.

Hey man, great video, Smallville is also my favourite show of all time and I have thought recently that it should soon end, I am pleased to see that the new and lastest season looks like it will be the last and it also promises to be a good one so don't totaly give up hope on it, but once again great video I really liked it, it just fitted so well with the audio and it must have taken you ages to complete?

[CommanderCourage]

Thanks for the feedback! The trailers don't take too long. I come up with what I want to do in my head and experiment with everything until it all comes together in a way I'm satisfied with.

As for Smallville, this season has been quite refreshing and is on pace to be one of the best. I've come to accept what they're doing with Clark & Lois, despite the complete dismantling of the Chloe character as we knew her. I'll always have my videos for Chlois though...:)

that clip at the beginning of the sky view of metropolis... what episode is that in? great vid - added to my favorites.

[CommanderCourage]

It's featured in a lot of episodes, but I grabbed it from "Crisis" in Season 3.

Awesome job dude! Brandon Routh sucks!! Tom Welling is THE MAN! He is Superman!

[taylawalker24]

more of a 2 hour ep than a movie

[JLC31383]

I was going to ask why there were no clips from the final episode where Clark Kent finally wears the uniform (although it was never seen up close)- but I noticed that this video was made in 2008.

[pieceofROD]

So cool! Thanks for that :-)

[kaiserleomon]

What is the background audio?

[gothdaisy]

Epic trailer! You've done a brilliant job here! Loved every moment of it.

christopher reeves is superman and always was the best one.

Thank you, Commandercourage for your views on Chloe Sullivan, who was created for the Smallville series. I have ALWAYS known that she (aside from Martha Kentj), would be the only person Clark Kent could and would really trust. Thank goodness the writers of "Smallville" decided NOT to kill off her character, which they hinted at in earlier seasons. Chloe is not a headstrong, obstinate, know-it-all jerk like the Lois Lane character in the show, and worthy of being his best friend.

@trayguy George Reeves comes from the island of Jersey... Like me :)

[trayguy]

Actually George Reeves will always be the best Superman ,but, Tom Welling makes a pretty good Subsitute.

[cheaphomemademoives]

the reason the town is call smallville is he's still superboy, he is not grown enough to be SUPERMAN! yet! and tom still looks like superboy! not a superman.....

[DeeTheory]

No one else will ever play abetetr Superman then Tom Welling. He fits the part from head to toe, from mind to soul. Tom Welling is infact Superman. His face is so innocent, and he can also play Bizzaro perfectly, with his bad side. I didn't even know too much about Superman before Smallville, thanks to this show, Everyday I live my life thinking what can I do to be like Clark Kent.
