UPDATE from Al Gough: Was There Almost A Smallville/Supernatural Crossover?

There was once a story pitch for Supernatural and Smallville to cross over.

UPDATE: And here’s where it’s a good thing to still be following KryptonSite — Smallville co-creator Alfred Gough, currently working wonders with Into The Badlands and The Shannara Chronicles, commented on our Facebook page about this headline. Here’s what he had to say:

“This is true. Eric Kripke and myself and Miles had these discussions around season 7 of Smallville.”

If anyone would know about this, it would be someone who was in charge at the time. Season 7 of Smallville was, of course, knee-deep in writers’ strike danger, which could explain why it didn’t happen. Still interesting to note that this crossover between two of The CW’s biggest hits at a time when the network didn’t really care about the supernatural or superheroes (even though they were their most successful) almost was a thing.

Even though there was a bit of a crossover already with Jensen Ackles as a series regular for Season 4 of Smallville, there was actually a more direct Supernatural story pitch that involved one of Smallville’s main stars, which could have made for a little crossover.

Writer Jackson Stewart who co-wrote the Supernatural episode “Frontierland” and called in to EW Radio’s Entertainment Weirdly show, and while there, he talked about the Supernatural-Smallville crossover that wasn’t.

“There was a lot of really cool ideas that some of the writers had,” Stewart said. “They had an episode where they really wanted to do a Superman curse that was about every actor who plays Superman ends up getting killed. So they find out that Tom Welling from Smallville is next and have to save him. I thought that was one of the funniest ideas that I’d heard.”

Considering that Welling has avoided most things Superman until the past year, when he’s been doing so for charity, it’s no surprise that such an episode never happened, but it sure would have been fun. You can read the EW piece that talks about the interview here.

Tom Welling NEEDS to appear on Supernatural. He needs either to be the Host with the Most for Lucifer, or EVEN BETTER the Host with the Most for the freed Michael–Chuck, before he left, freed Michael, gave Adam his life back and cured his soul (think of the awkward meeting with mom), and took the time to rebuild Gabriel. Raphael, too, but clipped his wings as a lesson in humility, possibly being almost a human and played by J August Richards.

Pllleeeeaaaaassssseeeee!?! And after the murder of Charlie we need a girl–And Allison Mack attack, anyone?

And please, if Rachel Miner is feeling up to it, she and Clarence need to happen.

  Cuz, let’s face it, Chuck has some fences to mend for being suck dad of the year. Maybe Allison can hook up with the traveling Mary.
  
  And I will die of joy if they ever decide on and then convince Sarah Michelle Gellar to come on as an off and on Dean love interest. She won’t be Buffy Summers, but she could still be a hunter

Creation Announces Salute to Smallville 2025!

Creation Entertainment has announced their second Smallville convention, happening September 2025 in the Chicago area.

In October, Creation Entertainment hosted their first-ever “Salute to Smallville” convention – featuring such guests as Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Laura Vandervoort, Aaron Ashmore, and John Glover. The first event was a fantastic experience for all, with fans and talent alike having a great time surrounding themselves with others who love Smallville. Like Creation’s Supernatural “Creation Tour,” friends were made, friends reunited… and we can’t wait to do it again. As a bonus, KryptonSite’s very own Craig Byrne (the writer of this article!) got to host/emcee the event with our good friend and Starkville’s House of El podcaster (the OG of SV Podcasters!) Derek Russell.

Well, you’re in luck: Today, Creation formally announced their next Smallville event! Held September 13-14, 2025 in the Chicago area, the second “Salute to Smallville” has already announced that Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Erica Durance, and Kristin Kreuk are scheduled to attend, with more to come — and the announcement comes with a new website which should have a somewhat familiar design. (Full disclosure: It was purposely designed to look like KryptonSite, and it was largely put together by the author of this very article.) As a bonus, the new website includes some exclusive short videos from last month’s event!

Even better: Gold Weekend Experience passes are already available to order for the absolute best seats, the exclusive Gold Panel, and additional perks. If you order yours now you can be the among the first to sign up, and ideally, to show Creation that we’d like to see more of these things! Several autographs and photo opportunities are also up to pre-order, so you can get in before they all sell out. Frankly, ordering now also shows Creation that putting together this new website was a good investment, as well, which would make this author extremely grateful.

Tony Todd, who played Earl Jenkins in the Smallville Season 1 episode “Jitters” has passed away. The actor, who is most famous for his role in the Candyman franchise, was only 69 years old. He passed November 6 at his home in Los Angeles; no cause of death has been revealed as of yet.

Smallville wasn’t Tony Todd’s only venture into the DC Universe. He lent his voice to such projects s Batman: The Brave and the Bold and even voiced Darkseid in multiple animated features. He also was the voice of the villainous Zoom in over a dozen episode of The CW’s Flash TV series.

He leaves behind a ton of work and a legion of fans who appreciated him. We are so sorry to read that he has died.
