Smallville Is Still The Perfect Superman Origin Story (Why It Beats The Movies)
Despite ending its run over 10 years ago, Smallville remains the perfect Superman origin story — even better than the movies. First airing in 2001, Smallville follows a teenage Clark Kent as he navigates his awkward adolescent years with the added complication of his superpowers. A great deal of kryptonite-related issues and villains arise for Clark over Smallville's 10 seasons, with a number of Superman's comic book allies (and members of his rogues' gallery) also appearing.
