It’s not a stretch to say comics are everywhere on the pop culture landscape — movies, television, books and beyond. These colorful heroes are a part of our daily lives, and we’re proud to unveil something very cool — and by “cool,” I mean something special, that we’ve never done before on THE SOURCE.
As most of you know, BLACKEST NIGHT writer Geoff Johns has done his fair share of Hollywood work, including but not limited to working with SUPERMAN director Richard Donner. He’s also written episodes of SMALLVILLE. The most recent, titled “Absolute Justice” features the television debut of some of his — and your — favorite DCU heroes, including Hawkman, Stargirl and Dr. Fate.
In other words, the Justice Society of America. The first superhero team in history and one that holds a special place not only for Geoff, but for fans everywhere.
So, needless to say, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention it here. We’d be doubly at fault if we didn’t corral Geoff himself to share a few words, too. Take it away, Geoff:
“It’s the first live action Justice Society of America. Hawkman, Doctor Fate and, my personal favorite, Stargirl. But don’t expect them to be the one ones you see. Look closely in this episode. There’s more cameos and easter eggs than Green Lanterns.”
Oh, and did I mention we have an exclusive clip from the episode, courtesy of the fine folks at The CW? Click below to view. Enjoy!

at first this season of smallville was sad and boring, but this is bringing it back. keep up the good work, hope they don’t mess it up
It’s so cool to see references to the members of the JSA that likely won’t be making an appearance (Wildcat, Green Lantern, Atom, Flash). Looking at that painting I wonder if there will be any mention about Black Canary in the episode. Will they have the Dinah in Smallville be the daughter of the original Canary, as in the comics? It would make sense.
…I thought it was Jan 29th - must have got pushed back to the following week, because it says: Feb 5th now.
I could feel my heart beating in my stomach as I watch this! It’s going to be SO AWESOME!

It is absolutely amazing.Can’t wait for the movie!!The trailer is awesome.
oh this is going to be good and i hope other JSA members show up during the series

I don’t think that is Black Canary, but is Liberty Belle with a different colored costume. I can understand the similarities, but Black Canary doesn’t wear a mask.
They should have Liberty Belle in the picture, or the whole Black Canary thing will get complicated.
yoooooooo! I just tackle my wall and broke through to the kitchen….But I’m still dying to see how Martian Manhunter is going to look like with his new get up

[...] SMALLVILLE: ABSOLUTE JUSTICE The Geoff Johns’ penned “Smallville” event “Absolute Justice” has a new trailer and it looks good. Surprisingly good—you get Golden Age Green Lantern and Flash props with some nods. I will return to watching “Smallville” Friday, February 5. Check it out over the DC’s The Source Blog. [...]
Ok this looks good! We se the JSA at the time and I guess waht remains ofthem in present time. We so see Black Canaray but the original (the mom with a mask), so will we see both the canarys (mom and daughter we saw b4) togheter or not ?
Are some dead ?
Original Flash could meet Bart (impulse) that would be cool!!
Green Lantern could be a taste of what we could see in the future GL movie!
All in all wow!
I never watched Smallville, looks like I better start!
That IS Black Canary in the painting, not Liberty Belle. The Original Canary wore a mask at the beginning of her career and ditched it later
[...] ABSOLUTE JUSTICE, now looks like it will more than please die-hard JSA Fans. DC has a preview video here and we’ve got even more news on the show running all day here on THE [...]
Yep, that’s definitely Black Canary. I’m not a fan of Smallville but I will watch this when it’s shown in the UK.
oops my bad-sorry-they should have put Liberty Belle on the picture
This episode was SUPER!!!
