Smallville's Justice Society Confirmed!

The three members of the Justice Society, who will appear in an upcoming episode of the CW's hit show "Smallville," have been confirmed, and cast! Read on to find out more!
IGN TV has recently learned the identities of the three members of the Justice Society who will be making an appearance in the episode.

The characters that will appear are:

1. Hawkman, played by Michael Shanks, who brings his own notable sci-fi following to the role, and has recently appeared in the series Burn Notice, but is best known for his role as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1.

2. Doctor Fate, played by Brent Stait, who had an ongoing role on Andromeda as Rev Bem. Stait also has experience in the Stargate world, having guest starred on Stargate Atlantis and appearing in the direct-to-DVD movie Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods.



3. Fancast has now confirmed that the third member will be Stargirl, which Geoff Johns, the writer of the episode and popular Comic Book writer, had all but ensured in a recent twitter report he shared. Stargirl will be played by Britt Irvin.

Look for the episode featuring these 3 characters sometime in January.


InTylerWeTrust82- Well, I think this is good news. I was a bit disappointed that Jay Garrick wouldn't be in the episode, and that Stargirl would be. But I'm surprised they're using Hawkman and Doctor Fate, two great characters from the Society. I am looking forward to this episode.

This has potential. I was watching Shanks in Burn Notice a while back, thinkin he would be a good choice for Cap.

I know it would have been a longshot... but assuming Dr. Fate wears his suit, I would have liked to hear Oded Fehr's voice.

I am definitely looking forward to this episode!

While I'm sure the writing will be excellent, with Geoff Johns, having Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Stargirl hardly makes up a JSA episode. Where the hell are Flash and GL?

Secondly, Michael Shanks as Hawkman? No, please.

Nice! This episode is looking better.

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that my X-Men 4 story is in Fan Fic. Check it out if you want.

until then

THEHAWK abides.

Jesus Luffy quit wit the videos

Wow, I never would've guessed they would use Hawkman! This really puts some history into the little "Smallville Universe". That is, if they stick with the WWII origins of Hawkman and Dr. Fate(probably my 2 favorite JSAers).

When does this episode air ?
BubbaDude - 10/19/2009, 10:41 PM
this is awsome
thedarkknight666 - 10/19/2009, 10:52 PM
Looking Forward!

Michael shanks as Hawkman!?
wow i might actually watch an episode of Crapfest.... i mean smallville.
thesteve13 - 10/19/2009, 11:16 PM
Still would have been cool to see Jay Garrick. The question now is are they gonna implement the no-fly rule on these three heroes. That would reaaly suck.
hewilldefytheirgravity - 10/19/2009, 11:21 PM
Sweet news, i never thought WB would throw out the hawk.
TaffetaDarling - 10/19/2009, 11:23 PM
shanks is awesome, I just hope they don't butcher this to badly.
thwhtGuardian - 10/19/2009, 11:51 PM
Shanks as Hawkman!
This is gonna be good :D
Spilox - 10/20/2009, 12:59 AM
Johns says "Hawkman will have wings, a big mace and he and Green Arrow won't get along at all".
kenny38606 - 10/20/2009, 1:18 AM
WOW! Hawkman, Dr. Fate, and some girl that will hopefully look awesome in a tight costume!
gtrman - 10/20/2009, 1:51 AM
Cant believe their gonna use Hawkman, they have had good effects this season, so i'm hoping they wil do him some justice. Please smallville dont [frick] up Hawkman, he's one of my favourite characters ever.
theFACE - 10/20/2009, 2:35 AM
Great stuff @ TYLER!!!! HI 5 dude!!

THough using STAR GIRL before CLARK is even SUPERMAN is a sh1t idea, well done WB, why not use STAR MAN!!!!!

I really hope they dsont [frick] up HAWKMAN, but i just think they will, not sure them using DANIEL from SRATGATE, but after all it is a tv version lol!!
LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 3:50 AM


Man we may get a movie some day!!
LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 3:54 AM
DOCTOR FATE!
Imran - 10/20/2009, 4:14 AM
I kinda understand them using Stargirl.The average person may not know, but Johns created Stargirl in memory of his sister, Courtney, who had passed away.So that character is very close to him.

kenny38606 - 10/20/2009, 4:14 AM
YOU GOTTA ADMIT THEY TOOK LIBERTIES BUT ITS LIKE THEY ARE BRINGING BACK THE "COMIC BOOK" NOT ENTIRELY THEY WAY THE FANBOYS WANT IT TO BE...BUT ENUFF TO KEEP THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND SUPERMAN FANS INTRESTED..MY QUESTION IS..ARE THEY DOING THE COSTUMES? CAUSE DOC FATES HELMET IS PRETTY SICK, HAWKMAN'S IS ICONIC, WILL HE SPORT THE WINGS?...IF THEY REALLY BRING COMIC BOOK TO THIS SHOW I WILL JIZZ IN MY PANTS.
GUNSMITH - 10/20/2009, 4:25 AM
i think smallville will do its own take on the costumes as usual...cant judge till i see em..but this JSA is missing my fave characters...oh well johns is a genius so im sure he'll compensate...would have luvd oded fehr as dr fate in a movie/series
Anil Rickly - 10/20/2009, 5:58 AM
Here's hoping that Smallville dont [frick] this up!!!
joshw24 - 10/20/2009, 7:39 AM
Josh@ indeed...let me know how that turns out lol

Tyler@ god article ;)
teabag - 10/20/2009, 7:51 AM
This is turning out to be a great episode so far, i can't wait till January!
KryptonianRage - 10/20/2009, 8:05 AM
we'll see. i hope its good. if it wasnt johns id be worried, but he has enough cred to make me have faith.
superdog - 10/20/2009, 8:15 AM
InTylerWeTrust82: Awesome news dude! ;)
BigNick - 10/20/2009, 8:16 AM
This is all leading up to JLA/JSA taking on Zod's army in the end of the season with the last fight between Zod and, dare we finally say it, Superman!!

This is also leading up to the JLA spin off series. Trust me on this one.

:)
brianj22 - 10/20/2009, 10:27 AM
WOW....the hate for this show has DEFINATELY decreased this season.....WITH GOOD REASON!!!

This ep looks great! Love the casting (I have a softspot for any STARGATE alums)! I just hope this season keeps rollin and doesn't take a turn for the worse (Super-powered LANA???).

GREAT ARTICLE!!!
Talontd - 10/20/2009, 10:45 AM
daniel jackson in Smallville, finally an actual good actor with talent and hopefully the other two will be good. Im looking forward to this episode, especially with some JSA action. Now I hope they wont [frick] it up

and the chick is extremely hot!
dancingmonkey08 - 10/20/2009, 11:53 AM
WHO CALLED IT? ME THATS RIGHT ME. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AWESOME EPISODE!
BatmanKnight - 10/20/2009, 1:20 PM
this sounds awesome!!! im ready!!
JerzeyHellboy - 10/20/2009, 1:21 PM
What no Power Girl?
InSpace - 10/20/2009, 1:47 PM
This sounds Awesome! Great casting aswell!
Great article btw
NightAvenger4 - 10/20/2009, 1:58 PM
THIS IS INSANE!!! I'm loving this season. I almost lost hope last year with the intro of Doomsday, but with the JLA AND JSA making their way in... It HAS to be better then what we saw last season. Plus, Michael Shanks as Hawkman is a great idea, IMO. I would have loved to have seen my favourite JSA members (The Flash Jay Garrick, Green Lantern Alan Scott).
Magicfingers - 10/20/2009, 4:43 PM
kool hawkman cant wait so see how they do his character
flames809 - 10/20/2009, 5:09 PM
Love the show! Still keeping it interesting!!!
FutureFoe - 10/20/2009, 6:15 PM
Maybe they'll do the Earth II thing? That would be reasonable since noone in Smallville seems to remember any previous heroes, or maybe I missed that episode.

When does this one air?????
BubbaDude - 10/20/2009, 8:17 PM
I dont care what anyone says. Im effing psyched for this episode. sucks that it doesnt air till january.

@ InSpace:
I think it would be pretty shitty to have yet another kryptonian that can fly before clark. Although I would like to see which hot girl Smallville would cast to wear a clevage costume.
superman7 - 10/20/2009, 9:24 PM
And Britt Irvin looks like a great (and hot) star girl.
superman7 - 10/20/2009, 9:25 PM
Screw it just give the JSA their own show already. Do like they did with the Wonder Woman show from the 70's, start with WWII stories for the first few seasons, and then bring them into the present......
