“Smallville” Season 11 Acknowledged in “Crisis on Infinite Earths” Crossover

With Tom Welling and Erica Durance returning to their “Smallville” roles for The CW’s upcoming “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover, fans have been wondering if the Season 11 comic book, which was published by DC Comics after the finale of the TV series, will be referenced at all.

I really wish they won’t. The comic was inconsistent, while I did love the Green Lantern story, I wish they grounded things better. It stopped feeling real like the show used to be.
