When Clark Kent goes missing, who ya gonna call? Why, the Justice League of course. TV Guide is reporting that Smallville's eighth season will feature the return of the Smallville version of the team, first formed in the Season 6 episode "Justice."
As previously reported, Justin Hartley will have a regular role in Season 8, returning as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. The season will begin with the follow up to the events of the Season 7 finale, in which Clark went missing, as Green Arrow gathers a group of super powered pals to find him. In Season 6, the League was made up of the Smallville incarnations of Clark, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Impulse and Cyborg. Green Arrow's new team will be a bit different – Aquaman (Alan Ritchson) is back, but this time he and Green Arrow are joined by Martian Manhunter (Phil Morris) and Black Canary (Alaina Huffman). Both Manhunter and Canary have appeared on Smallville before, but not with the proto-Justice League.
For the new season, Smallville will have a large new group of showrunners – Returning writers Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer, who all have been promoted following the departure of Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar. Souders tells TV Guide Season 8's theme is "double identities" and that, "It's about the Superman identity emerging as Clark Kent tries to maintain a normal life — or the appearance of a normal life." It seems at least one important part of Clark's destiny will take shape. TV Guide says this season he takes a job at the Daily Planet, working across the desk from Lois Lane (Erica Durance).
