John Schneider Returns To Hazzard
The Ubisoft video game company will be premiering a new video game, "The Dukes of Hazzard: The Return of the General Lee" in October. The game will feature the voice of John Schneider (Smallville's Jonathan Kent) alongside his co-stars from the original Dukes of Hazzard TV series, Tom Wopat, Catherine Bach, and James Best.

It follows two previous Dukes games that were released for the Playstation a few years ago, one of which featured Schneider's voice.

Fans who grew up watching Schneider as "Bo Duke" will be happy to know that the first season of The Dukes of Hazzard will be on DVD on June 1, 2004. The pilot episode of the series, "One Armed Bandits," features commentary by Schneider as well as Catherine Bach, who you might remember as the woman who "Daisy Dukes" into popularity. And hey, if all else fails, the first season has Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, who is and forever will be the hero of KryptonSite's webmaster Craig.

"Morgan Edge" Seen In Gotham
Several people have e-mailed us to let us know that Rutger Hauer, who appeared as Morgan Edge in the first two episodes of Smallville Season Three, has signed on for a small role in the next Batman movie, "Batman Begins."

He's not the first Smallville actor to appear in a Batman movie. John Glover, a.k.a. Lionel Luthor, appeared in "Batman & Robin." (Watch his part, fast forward through the rest - you'll thank us later!)

Young Bruce Wayne Series To Go To Comics?
Source: Comic Book Resources/Lying In The Gutters

This week's "Lying In The Gutters" at Comic Book Resources (a comic book gossip column for those of you unaware) makes mention that screenwriter Tim McCanlies (The Iron Giant) may be doing a young Bruce Wayne comic for DC Comics.

The comic would be "looking at the young life of a playboy, thrown out of every private school in Europe with Alfred having to bail him out of a London jail after a bar fight. It looks at Bruce's reluctance to return to Gotham City in order to inherit Wayne Industries."

Interestingly, this is the exact same concept for a Young Bruce Wayne series that was originally pitched by Tollin-Robbins Productions and McCanlies back in 1999, but was scrapped because the Warner movie division said "Batman is ours." Instead, of course, the WB decided to go with a young Superman series, and the rest is history.

We'd, of course, like to be selfish and have Smallville AND Young Bruce Wayne on TV... but since that won't happen, this might be a sign of what could have been. We'll keep you updated if this is true or not.

Bennett & Gottesfeld Premiere New Book
Popular Smallville novel authors and writers of "Jitters," Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld, have a new non-Smallville young adult novel that is now available. The book is called "A Heart Divided," and it is the story of "an unlikely romance between a teen girl from New York City and a guy from a Nashville-area town that unfolds against a Confederate flag controversy at their high school, this book has everything: big romance, a big personal journey for its heroine Kate Pride, and a very important social issue."

They read passages from "A Heart Divided" at a launch party on Sunday, March 21 at the Borders bookstore in Sherman Oaks, California. There's a play within the book that will be done on stage later in the year (stay tuned for more details!)

Bennett and Gottesfeld's latest Smallville novel, "Sparks," will be available soon, and focuses on Chloe Sullivan.

Recap From The Paley Festival!
Special thanks to: Wendi

Several members of Smallville's cast and crew spoke on Monday night at seminar about Smallville at the annual William S. Paley Television Festival sponsored by the Museum of Television and Radio.

Following a showing of the third season's premiere, "Exile," and a short clip from the Museum's archives of The Adventures of Superman which would make everyone say "Our Mama Kent is prettier than yours," the SV cast and crew were treated by a round of questions from the moderator and fans. The guests, of course, were:

Al Gough (Smallville executive producer and co-creator)
Miles Millar (Smallville executive producer and co-creator)
Tom Welling (Smallville's Clark Kent)
Annette O'Toole (Smallville's Martha Kent)
Sam Jones III (Smallville's Pete Ross)
Greg Beeman (Executive producer and director up in Vancouver)
Ken Biller (Director and writer of the popular episode "Shattered")
Joe Davola (Executive producer from Tollin-Robbins Productions)
Ken Horton (Executive producer and writer of "Whisper")
Jeph Loeb (Consulting producer, Superman comics writing legend and writer of episodes like "Red" and the upcoming "Legacy")
Mark Snow (Composer of the music you hear in the show)
Mark Verheiden (Co-executive producer and popular writer since the first season - he also has written several stories for the Smallville comic book)
Mat Beck (Visual Effects genius)

The other cast members who weren't there were busy filming the 20th episode of Season Three, titled "Talisman." John Schneider is directing the episode.

A good time was had by all, even though your webmaster here has missed a chance to meet Tom Welling yet again (but don't think that ruined the evening; it was still a lot of fun!) As promised, we now have posted a recap of the night's events, written with a LOT of detail by Wendi for KryptonSite (thanks, Wendi!)

Comic Book Writer Waid Talks About The Smallville Influence on "Superman: Birthright"
Special Thanks To: Comic Book Resources

Comic book writer Mark Waid was recently interviewed at the Comic Book Resources website, where he talked about the revised origin of Superman in the Superman: Birthright comic book, and answers the question about the Smallville influences in the series. Here's what he had to say:

"I love Smallville and won't miss an episode, and it's every bit as influential as the rest of Superman's grand history--but no more so or no less so. For instance, I would have wanted to put young Luthor back in Smallville regardless of the TV series. I will, however, cop to the fact that it was Smallville that showed me with stunning clarity how cool it would be to have Ma and Pa Kent actually be parents, not kindly, white-haired grandparent-types. [laughter]"

The WB's Top Five Fan Choices Revealed
The WB has revealed which five episodes will be aired this month as part of the "You Say It, We Play It" program. These episodes will air on Wednesdays at 9PM for the next few weeks. We're not totally sure yet in what order they will be, except for that the series' first episode airs this week, on March 10.

A body double and apparently some hormone-driven teenagers made "Nicodemus" take the #1 spot in the voting. Rounding out the top five, in order, are "The Pilot," "Red," "Rosetta," and "X-Ray."

We're a bit disappointed such classics like "Hourglass" didn't make the cut, but unfortunately the folks who prefer to see body doubles won out. These are still five fun episodes to see again. Stay tuned for the exact order in which these will be re-airing.

A New Smallville-Related Fan Art Comic!
Written by Wendi; drawn by Hope

Generally, we keep away from the fan art thing here at KryptonSite, aside from the Fanfiction and Fan Art forum on the KryptonSite Message Board. However, sometimes there are exceptions, and when we saw this three-page comic by K-Site's own reviewer Hope that was written by Wendi, we couldn't resist putting it up for all to see.

Appropriate copyrights, of course, go out to those who own them, and use this as a reminder that there is a great bimonthly Smallville comic book series from DC! For now, though, what are you waiting for...

Read "Wraith"

This story takes place after the episode "Crisis."

You Say It, They Play It: "The Pilot" Airs Wednesday Night!
The first of the "top five episodes chosen by fans" has been announced, and it seems that the pilot episode of Smallville will be airing Wednesday night, March 10, at 9PM. This is the story where it all began. The WB should be releasing the other four picks soon.

"The Pilot" airs after an encore showing of the third season episode "Relic." Double the Smallville on Wednsday night! Sounds like fun.
