When I first heard about Smallville, I was very hesitant to give the 表示する a chance. A 表示する that took place before Clark Kent became スーパーマン seemed like a big step in the wrong direction. I feared it would be the most underwhelming スーパーマン 表示する ever, so I avoided it for over a decade.
After giving the 表示する a chance, I can say that I'm happy to be proven wrong. If anything, I feel regret over not giving ヤング・スーパーマン a fair chance when I first heard about it.
ヤング・スーパーマン is a 表示する that takes place when Clark Kent is a high schooler. He has superpowers, but he doesn't yet know how to control them. He goes out of his way to help those in trouble, but he hasn't yet become Superman. His adopted parents, Jonathan and Martha, help him keep his powers a secret. Clark is フレンズ with a teenager named Chloe Sullivan, who has a crush on him, but Clark's distracted によって his feelings for Lana Lang. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor attempts to be a good businessman, unlike his father, Lionel, who is a corrupt mastermind and a bad influence on his family. Clark and Lex form an unexpected friendship, but Lex suspects that Clark is keeping secrets from him.
When I was a kid, one of the main things that made me become a superhero ファン was the costumes. I loved how unique and special they looked. I heard that Clark wouldn't have the classic costume in Smallville, so that led to me judging the 表示する in an unfair way. Sure, I miss seeing the スーパーマン costume, but ヤング・スーパーマン deserves to be celebrated as a good version of Superman.
The most important attribute that スーパーマン has is that he's the symbol of hope. He uses his powers to bring safety and optimism into the world. In Smallville, that's exactly what Clark does. This is demonstrated in the very first episode where Clark saves Lex's life. Clark's passion for helping others is shown throughout several episodes. Clark doesn't just help his family and friends. In one episode, Clark saves the life of a teenager who had been bullying him. Despite everything the bully had done, Clark rushed to his rescue. Clark's compassion helps give the 表示する a lot of heart. Even without the costume, Smallville's version of Clark is a true superhero.
Getting an actor to play Clark is no easy feat. Thankfully, they casted the right person for the part. I couldn't of predicated what a good actor Tom Welling would be. After seeing the first episode, he already impressed me and proved to me that he had what it took to play one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. As the 表示する goes on, he continues to bring Clark's morality and heroicness to life. Tom Welling was in his twenties when he did Smallville, so it might be hard to take him seriously as the teenage version of Clark. However, that doesn't change the fact that he did a fantastic job at playing the man of steel.
Michael Rosenbaum plays a very unique version of Lex Luthor. When the 表示する first starts out, Lex isn't a villain. In fact, he and Clark become fast friends, and Clark and Lex constantly do favors for each others. It becomes clear that Lex will eventually become bad, but this is still one of the most sympathetic versions of the character. John Glover, who voiced the Riddler in Batman: The Animated and played Dr. Woodrue in バットマン and Robin, gives a very charming performance Lex's sinister father. Annette O'Toole, who played Lana Lang in スーパーマン 3, gives a tender performance as Clark's adopted mother.
Christopher Reeve was a ファン of the show. In fact, he guest-starred on the 表示する as a man who gives Clark lots of knowledge and wisdom. Christopher Reeve giving Tom Welling the 表示する his approval and support was a very touching thing. In addition to that, the makers of the 表示する supported and promoted the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
It's easy to dismiss ヤング・スーパーマン for being a romantic drama set in high-school that doesn't have Clark wear his スーパーマン costume. However, if あなた look past those elements, ヤング・スーパーマン is a 表示する that expresses Superman's compassion and ハート, 心 in a touching, meaningful way.
