May 23, 2003: Al Gough Talks “Smallville” Season 3

Zap2It.com have published an interview with "Smallville" Executive Producer Al Gough, discussing plans for the Third Season of the hit WB television series, including a possible appearance by a young Bruce Wayne, and also Perry White and Jimmy Olsen. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

In Season 2, Kansas teen Clark Kent (Tom Welling) learned his alien parents intended him to rule Earth. At the same time, his unrequited love, classmate Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk), explored her own family history and dealt with the tragic death of former boyfriend Whitney (Eric Johnson).

"Season 1 was, 'Who am I?'" Gough says. "Season 2 was really, 'Where am I from?' To us, it's the adopted kid looking into his biological parents. Once you find out who you are, are they people you want to know, or do you wish you'd never asked those questions at all?"

"We also played more with the Clark-Lana relationship. Last year, Whitney was the obstacle between them. But this year, it was really about -- and it's a classic superhero dilemma -- Clark's secrets. Can you really have any sort of intimacy if you can't be completely honest with somebody? So it's always a question of, do I save the world, or do I have a life? He's started to wrestle with those questions."

"Also, we were able to flesh out Lana's character and dimensionalize her more. She started to question Clark, and obviously she's come around to the fact that he's going to have secrets in his life, and is she willing to accept him for that, knowing that he does, obviously, love her?"
