If this is hoax, it’s a good one, as it comes with a few bits of convincing detail we are not sharing with you.

Someone has written us, claiming to have gotten a glimpse of some signage being prepared for next month’s “Smallville” presentation at Comic-Con. His or her description:

On black, with crimson/red text in the same font lettering that Smallville uses, and a transparent grey Superman “S” watermark behind the text:

METROPOLIS

CHRISTMAS 2010

Then at the bottom is a banner advertising the Smallville presentation, with the time/place (can’t remember).

Other info this untested source sent us suggests “Metropolis” is a movie-length project, and not a new series.

Word is “Smallville” will conclude its 9-year run May 2010, so it makes sense that the CW would tack on a couple more production hours up there in Canada to make a Superman TV-movie that would run seven or so months after the series’ conclusion.

But what if Tom Welling isn’t putting on the red cape for the small screen? It doesn’t seem like 18 months is enough time to slap together a big-screen “Smallville” sequel, but I also seem to remember Warner Bros. kicking the first three episodes of “Clone Wars” to cinemas without a lot of notice.

This comes from an untested source, self-described as “Yoda’s Bitch,” so kindly take it all as rumor.

There’s a new reporter at the Daily Planet: Clark Kent, who shares a workspace with Lois Lane. There’s a new hero in Metropolis, too. No one knows who he is. But Jimmy Olsen was on the scene of one of the do-gooder’s exploits, and he snapped a blurred photo of the hero in superspeed action - a hero everyone now calls the Red-Blue Blur. Red-jacketed, blue-shirted Clark Kent draws closer to his Superman destiny in the exciting 22-episode Season 8 of Smallville.

Another Kryptonian destiny also takes shape: Davis Bloome begins to realize he is Doomsday. His mission on Earth: kill Clark Kent. So many new events (will Jimmy and Chloe’s marriage last?), so many new faces (Tess Mercer, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy among them!), so many state-of-the-art effects - so don’t miss a single thrill-packed moment!

10 clips from Episode 8×17 - Hex have been added to the media section. I found Erica as Chloe hilarious. She even had the frowns down. Plus Chloe’s take on the whole Lois/Clark thing was enjoyable, especially the mention of Clark loving his women assertive and puppy dog eyes.

7 clips from last Thursday’s Episode 8×15 - Infamous have been added to the media section. Lois is finally back! I can’t wait to see what comes up next. The ending scene is a little bittersweet, but we all know that so much more is in store for this pairing.

Thanks to Ricky from Smallville Magazine for this heads up. Erica has an interview on Smallville Magazine Issue #31. It’s on sale on newsstands now! Below is a small excerpt from the interview. I’m also working on catching up and updating the site. Sorry for the delay.

February 24, 2009 (Burbank, California) ─ The CW announced today the early pickups of six series, including five of the network’s signature dramas and the reality hit AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL, which will all return in Fall 2009.

“As we continue to build The CW Network as a destination for young women, these six shows have clearly contributed to strengthening our schedule and our brand identity,” said Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, The CW. “By securing these signature hits for next season, we’re furthering our commitment to deliver high-quality, original programming to our viewers, advertisers and affiliates.”

Among the series receiving early pickups for next season are The CW’s Monday tandem of sophomore sensation GOSSIP GIRL and ONE TREE HILL, which combined to lift The CW to become the fall’s #1 network on Monday with women 18-34.

Freshman hit 90210 has improved the network’s Tuesday night by double-digit increases in key demos.

BuddyTV is doing a Best Ship of ‘08 showdown. Click on that link to vote for Lois and Clark. I’m  having a hard time deciding since I have 2 other ships listed. Eeek… such a dilemma.

Also, I know I’ve been behind. I took a few weeks off for the holidays. No work and school was awesome. But a site revamp is definitely overdue.
