Smallville Almost Received A Spin-Off Starring Two Iconic DC Comics Characters
Justin Hartley's Oliver Queen had a romantic relationship with Erica Durance's Lois Lane in "Smallville," and they almost headlined their own spin-off series.
During an appearance on the Inside of You podcast, Justin Hartley revealed that Oliver Queen, also known as Green Arrow, was almost the star of a spin-off television series during his time on Smallville. The concept involved a Lois and Oliver in Metropolis spin-off, which aimed to extend the life of the show. The show would have featured Hartley's character leading a team of young people with superpowers, similar to Professor Xavier's team in X-Men.
Another potential spin-off centered around Green Arrow leading a Justice League with a focus on human experimentation, with James Marsters potentially reprising his role as Brainiac.
