One question that has come up since the announcement of Smallville actors Tom Welling and Erica Durance appearing in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover is whether or not the Smallville Season 11 comic books would be considered canon. While many assumed they’d be taking the “Star Wars Legends” treatment, in which only events seen on screen would be referenced, even though they were written by one of Smallville’s writers (Bryan Q. Miller), Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim has confirmed on Twitter that they are canon… though they won’t be specifically referenced.
The Smallville Season 11 comics ran for several years and followed the adventures of Clark as Superman as he met characters like Batman and Wonder Woman, and even faced a Crisis of his own (will “Continuity” be referenced here?) We guess since [spoiler warning] Bart Allen died in the comics, that we will not be seeing Kyle Gallner’s Impulse in the crossover.
Also, Guggenheim’s comment confirms Clark and Lois repurchased the Kent Farm, which should make some people very happy.
Crisis on Infinite Earths airs in December, starting on December 8. If you want to brush up on the Smallville Season 11 comics, they can be purchased here.

I hope Smallville Clark warns his Superman counterparts and the other heroes about the Monitors.
