It's a simple, yet pressing question: Will Clark Kent finally become Superman this season on Smallvile?
A fan of The CW series posed this question to TV Guide Magazine; who, in turn, took it to producer Brian Peterson.
He said the black blur suit Clark has been donning this season was only meant to be a temporary bridge to the long-overdue Superman unveiling; which, yes, is currently being planned.
“Given the Clark Kent everyone knows from our show, it would come out of nowhere to have him automatically start wearing the [Superman] suit,” Peterson said, adding season nine might conclude with Clark building a new costume with more familiar colors.
As for Lois and Clark getting together, as the former dreamed at the start of this season? Look above, Smallville fans.
“What we teased in the premiere, we have all intentions of paying off for the fans this season," Peterson said.
A new love interest for Chloe. New steps in the Clark/Lois relationship. A showdown with Zod and the arrival of Jor-El.
Indeed, there's A LOT to come on season nine of Smallville. Who better to ask about it than Executive Producer Kelly Souders? She previewed future storylines in a recent interview with TV Guide.
Who will romance Chloe? I'll give you this much: It's somebody who is very charming and it would be hard for anybody not to have a fire for.
Will we see more powers from Clark? He has so much other story going on, we don't see a lot of that for a little while, but it does come back into play. I can't quite [tease any powers] because we're breaking one of them as we speak and we're going back and forth on exactly how the power works, but I can say that it's a magnificent power.
What about Clark and Lois as a couple? You get a little more insight, particularly into Lois. In the past, Clark was always hesitant to get into a relationship. He's finally met his match in Lois and I think she's even more hesitant in some ways than he is. The issues that she's grappling with romantically will start to emerge more clearly over this first half of the season.
What's in store for Zod? There's a little secret about Zod and the Kandorians: They're not exactly the way you think they are; that has a great deal to do with how the mythos would play out. In Episode 7, which is called "Kandor," a lot of their backstory comes to light and it sheds a huge light on them here presently.
As for Joe-El, Souders says to tune in for the episode titled "Kandor," from which the photo above is taken.
She also says there's a good chance Smallville returns for season 10, to which we respond: Hooray!!!
Move over, Jim and Pam! You aren't the only office mates getting busy this week!
On Friday's new episode of Smallville, titled "Crossfire," Clark lays a big kiss on Lois, right in front of co-workers. Take a look:
Also taking place this week: Oliver offers to train a new girl named Mia; while Lois and Clark are asked to host a radio program.
As for a broader view of what's to come, producer Kelly Souders told TV Guide that Clark isn't finished with his all-black suit just yet.
"He isn't quite done with his suit yet. This whole season is the alter ego before he starts transforming into the [Superman] that we all know... There's a flirting moment with a pair of glasses. I won't say that he's definitely got them on, but I would watch the next little run [of episodes]."
Meanwhile, we're always updating TV Fanatic for the latest Smallville quotes. For now, click on the photos below to view more scenes from Friday's installment:
Forget Team Jacob vs. Team Edward for a moment.
Smallville fans have their own ongoing debate: Team Chloe vs. Team Lois.
While Superman lore clearly favors Lois over Chloe, a handful of long-time fans are still hoping the latter has a chance with Clark. Does she? TV Guide posed this question to Smallville producer Kelly Souders?
"I hate saying never because it's Smallville," Souders replied. "But this year, fans will see that both of them have maybe moved on to people who are strangely more suited for each other."
Are you on Team Chloe or Team Lois?
The character development for Chloe and Clark has, in many ways, created basic differences between them.
"When you think of a guy who has just walked through life and had all the power in the world — even though he's had troubles, it's not such a challenge for him in some ways," Souders said. "Chloe is somebody who's had a lot of trauma in her life and has done an amazing job of pulling herself up by her bootstraps. But it gives both of them a very different outlook on life.
"In some ways, they were much more similar when they were younger [and] were more naïve about the world. They've both grown up a lot and Chloe has really come into her own, just as Clark has."
Souders does confirm that the pair's friendship will blossom again, even as Clark grows closer to Lois romantically this season.
As if fans weren't already excited enough for Smallvilles upcoming, two-part episode, featuring the Justice Society...
Executive producer Kelly Souders confirms that the installment - titled “Society” and scheduled to air in early 2010 - will mark the return of Phil Morris as Martian Manhunter.
"Society” will be written by beloved comic book scribe Geoff Johns. It will feature Justice Society members Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Stargirl.
“To be honest, there were so many characters and so much great story that people would’ve been robbed of some great moments if we kept it to just one hour,” said Sounders of the show's scheduling. “So now that it’s a two-parter, you won’t miss anything.”
We can't wait.
Last season, Jimmy Olson died on Smallville and viewers were stunned.
Now, producer Kelly Souders warns fans not to get too comfortable again. She told TV Guide that more people will follow Jimmy's late lead on season nine. She said:
"You will see more people than you can imagine die in the first 12 [episodes]. Luckily it's Smallville, so not all of them stick."
How about a few hints, Kelly? Thank you...
Armed with that information, what do you think, readers? Who will Smallville viewers say goodbye to next?

What happens when two evil characters join forces? Nothing good, as Smallville viewers will soon find out.
In a recent interview with TV Guide, Cassidy Freeman previewed her Tess' upcoming partnership with Zod.
In the excerpts below, the actress speaks on whether Tess is truly after the destruction of Earth, or is merely hoping to protect it...
On the burgeoning Tess and Zod relationship: The stakes just keep getting higher. We keep power-playing each other and we keep trying to win, and the other keeps winning each hand, but no one is really winning the whole game. He surprises me at an event, I can tell you that. He just shows up every time and catches me off guard.
On Tess turning evil: You're going to figure that out come midseason... she gets pretty evil. It's really like no holds barred. I'm willing to pretty much do anything to get what I want, which is a cure for the Earth, which is like a saving of Earth. Whatever I think that takes, I will do, but I do some pretty awful stuff.
On Tess vs. Lois: Lois always interests me. I don't think that Tess really respects her too much. I think Tess thinks she's just a pawn that she needs to use. I know she's very connected to Clark, so that's why she's kept around. I know she might be foolish enough to let things out, or I think she'll be foolish enough to tell me secrets and tell me what she knows, but she never does. She's this funny, quirky girl that's such a hard-ass with Tess and frustrates the hell out of her.
We can't wait to watch it all develop. In the meantime, remember to visit TV Fanatic each week for the latest Smallville quotes.
