More than a decade afterSmallvillecame to an end, manyDCfans are still imagining what Tom Welling’s Superman and his Justice League could look like today. WithaSmallvillesequelpotentially having a chance to come to fruition, this revival wouldn’t only open the doors for Welling’s Clark Kent to continue, but also for many of the Justice League characters who entered the series during its original run. While time will tell if a continuation is possible, fans are already picturing whatSmallville’sJustice League might be like in the modern day.

What The Smallville Justice League Art Means For The Show
Seeing fans still making fan art and concept trailers forSmallvilleand its Justice Leagueshows that there is still a passion for this specific interpretation of those characters after all these years. Even though there were only a handful ofSmallvilleepisodes with the Justice League together, those were some of the best parts of the show’s history. Having the team back whenever possible in the later seasons always makes those episodes stand out, especially since there was almostaSmallvillespinoff show for the Justice League.
IfSmallville’sWelling continued as Supermanin any shape or form as a sequel,it would be fascinating to see what he would be doing as the leader of the Justice League, which was a role that he grew into slowly throughout the later seasons. An older Clark would also mean he would be more experienced since viewers last saw him, which could easily justify him being far more comfortable in his role with the team. The same goes for other Justice League characters from theSmallvilleuniverse, as they would be at different points in their lives after the 2011 series finale.
