Actors in ‘Smallville’ revisit Clark Kent and Lex Luthor’s origin story

Variety reports that “Smallville” premiered on The WB on Oct. 16, 2021, a little more than 25 years ago.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar developed the series from the DC Comics character. Its aim was to recount the beginnings of this iconic figure, an idea that was new then but has since turned into standard practice.
