All these years after the Superman-inspired series Smallville ended in 2011, we’re still getting interesting insights into the different ways the story could have played out. Smallville creators Alfred Gough AND Miles Millar were recently guests Tom Welling AND Michael Rosenbaum’s TalkVille podcast, and in the episode they revealed an interesting little plan they had at the beginning of the show.
It turns out that their initial plan was to have Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) somehow end up being Lois Lane. As you may recall, a possible romance between her and Clark was teased in the third season of the series, and the character even used “Lois Lane” as a byline.
Speaking about Chloe becoming Lois Lane, Miller said, “We talked about it, that maybe she’s the proto-Lois and that later on, she had to change her identity or something, and she becomes Lois Lane.” Gough added: “The problem, again, was that we wanted to get Lois Lane and they wouldn’t give her to us.”
Miller went on to talk about how all of that changed, saying, “Then when she got to season four, there was this huge thing of, ‘You can have her for two episodes,’ and then ‘You can have her for three,’ and then” You can have it for half the season” and [WBTV head] Peter Roth, to his credit, was like, “Fuck it.” He’s on the show now and he’s not going away.” She became part of the show. It was never questioned again.”
It’s quite possible that this series never included Lois Lane (Erica Durance). It’s a good thing that it all worked out because she was such a fun character and she and Clark Kent had such a great dynamic.
Gough also addressed fan theories on this Ian SomerhalderAdam Knight was supposed to be Bruce Wayne, and the Bruce Wayne/Batman way was never on the table for the creative team to use. “[Bruce Wayne] it was a name we were clearly trying to get out there, but we never got around to Batman. At that point, it was out of the question, why [Christopher] Nolan was literally creating Batman begins at this point.”
