With nine seasons running, the writers of "Smallville" are moving forward with Clark Kent's transition to become the man of steel. A photo is released via LilMissX to reveal the first look of Clark in his Superman outfit. Instead of the red and blue tights, the outfit is pitch black with a silver "S" symbol on the chest.



In the promo released for the ninth season, Chloe told Clark to embrace his Kyrptonian side and accept the fact that he is destined to save the world. The ninth season will be opened with an episode where Clark tells Jor-El that he is ready to start his training. However, Jor-El sends him back to Metropolis to cut ties with Lois before he can begin.



Premiered on September 25, "Smallville" will bring a set of new DC Comics characters into the season. The villains are General Zod and Metallo while the heroes are Wonder Twins, Speedy, and Justice Society of America.



On another news, Allison Mack confirms in an interview with ComicBookMovies that there will be a season 10 where Tom Welling has been signed to. She said, "Tom has signed for season 9 and for a season 10, so the show will go until season 10. I will be completed with my contract next year, and I am looking for new and exciting ways to carry out my character's exit."

I guess Allison doesn't realize that someone can be signed for more than one season but it doesn't mean that the other season will happen.

Thank goodness they did away with the old super man suit and went with something else. Like the new look.

Tom Welling is now Co Executive Producer so that may change the rules a little and make it possible to sign for mutiple seasons.
