APRIL FOOL’S! (Yet Again!)

After about 18 years, you all know that you should never trust KryptonSite first thing in the morning on April 1st, right?

On April 1, we usually random stuff up on April Fool’s Day, usually tricking people, sometimes making them mad…. we even were able to fool some cast members with our gags. (Sorry, Cassidy and Laura.) Even with Smallville several years in the past, we’re not giving up on the Fools just yet. What can we say? We’re always holding on.

Yes, we would totally watch a Smallville reboot (WB, call us and the pitch is yours), but no, it’s not happening. Sorry. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Though we can hope that one of the clickbait sites picks it up as real news. And if it’s before midnight April 1st where you are… well, we’re posting this on East Coast time!

It’s our favorite time of year around here, and we only do this one day a year, so don’t get too mad and just allow us that fun.

Inevitably, we’ll get comments and e-mails about how unprofessional it is and how “no one will take you seriously,” but we’ve been doing this for 15+ years with no blowback. and, like we said, sometimes they work out. Beyond that time we said Heroes was coming back (and it did), look at these other times we got it right:

2002 – Lana’s Parents Return (happened in the Smallville episode “Void”); Chloe Sullivan Is Lois Lane (sort of happened, in “Delete” and “Hex”)
2003 – Ian Somerhalder To Guest Star As Bruce Wayne (he didn’t, but he did play “Adam Knight”); Chloe To Get A Spin-Off (do the Chloe Chronicles count?)
2004 – Who’s Going article with a picture of Pete; Mr. Mxyzptlk Coming To Smallville (happened in “Jinx”); Lexana: It’s Real (see Season 6)
2005 – Gough & Millar Prepare Young Aquaman Pilot (seriously, I didn’t know!); Dean Cain on Smallville (happened in “Cure”)
2006 – Christopher Eccleston To Appear As Zod (so it wasn’t Eccleston, but Zod did show in Season 9); “Bizarro” Is Coming (it happened!); Justin Hartley To Guest In Season 6 As Aquaman (so he showed up as Green Arrow instead)
2007 – Smallville Returns To The WB (TheWB.com now exists – and this article also mentions a Green Arrow TV show… that’ll never happen!) Tom Welling Signs Through Season 9 (if only we knew…); Clark’s Kryptonian Mother Lara To Appear (she did, but with a different actress than we suggested) Season 7 accurate predicted titles included “Bizarro” and “Kara.”
2008 – Rosenbaum Out For Season 8 (why did that one have to be true?); “Legion” listed as a predicted Season 8 episode title
2009 – Annette O’Toole Returning (it happened!); The BBC Plans Their Own Version Of Smallville (have you SEEN Merlin?)
2010 – Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders listed as writers for Episode #200. We predicted Wonder Woman would be coming to TV, but were wrong in suggesting it was going to happen on Smallville with Bridget Regan. Our only correct episode title was “Booster.”
2011 – We posted a rumor of a live-action Young Justice series, and sure enough, Titans is coming to the upcoming DC Digital service. Oliver Queen and Dinah [Laurel] Lance have found some on-and-off love over on Arrow.
2013 – Even though the KryptonSite April Fool went viral, Smallville didn’t return in 2014, though David S. Goyer was executive producer of another DC Comics adaptation, Constantine, that year, and it’s rumored that he is doing a Krypton prequel series.
2014 – Smallville isn’t on Blu-ray yet, and we didn’t get Lois & Clark ’93, but we do have a Wonder Woman ’77 comic, and someone even pitched Batman ’89 to DC.
2015 – What, Tom Welling didn’t appear on the Supergirl pilot? Oops. But maybe he will show up on the series someday.
2016 – Supergirl hasn’t gone to Earth-Smallville yet, and Zack Snyder isn’t making a Supergirl film yet…
2017 – Chloe Sullivan didn’t go to Legends of Tomorrow, but we did sort of get a Lois Lane TV series with Metropolis.

So, who knows? Maybe someone is developing a Smallville reboot somewhere. Either way… thanks for coming back to the site… KRYPTONSITE STILL EXISTS!
