Smallville TV Movie? For Real, CW?

We honestly want to know how this show has survived NINE seasons on television. Wasn't the point of the series to follow Clark Kent through his HIGH SCHOOL years? We think his 25 year reunion is coming up or something.

Tom Wellling is still, hot though. We'll give them that!

Regardless of what we think, the ratings for Smallville must still be strong enough to keep the show trudging along, and not only that, warrant the show be turned into a TV movie event.

You read that right.

It seems fans are particularly excited for the upcoming Justice Society themed episodes, which will include superhero stars like Stargirl, Hawkman, and Dr. Fate. (We haven't a clue who the hell any of these people are. What about just Batman?)

Due to the high demand for the episodes, which will be penned by Geoff Johns, the CW execs decided to go the extra mile and combine the planned episodes into one mega, awesome geekfest explosion of a TV event.

The two-part, two-hour event will air on January 29th.

Be honest - are any of U tuning in for this?
