"Smallville" is The WB’s highest-rated series of all time and will begin its fourth season this fall on the network. This new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series. The idyllic town of Smallville, Kansas, never seemed the same after the meteor shower that rained down 12 years ago - the day Clark Kent arrived on Earth and the day strange things started happening in Smallville.

Now, Clark is a teenager, and his growing pains are amplified by the burden of his emerging superpowers and his longing for Lana Lang, the beautiful girl next door. When the charismatic Lex Luthor arrives in town, he befriends Clark and without an inkling of their destinies, becomes the older brother Clark never had. The show stars Tom Welling (Clark Kent), Annette O'Toole ("Superman III") as Martha Kent, Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang), Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor), and John Schneider (Jonathan Kent).

Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, Smallville was written and developed by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (Shanghai Noon, Spiderman 2), based on the DC Comics characters. Gough and Millar serve as executive producers, along with Greg Beeman, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola and Ken Horton. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.
