"Save the cheerleader - save the world". It all seemed so simple back then.

But though the cheerleader was saved, and then saved again, followed by another spot of saving, the world has remained perilously close to the edge over the past two seasons of this spectacularly brain-mashing fantasy spectacle from the US.

Now I know there's another reason why I watch Smallville, but I just can't remember what it is... ahem.

Here's the marvellous Erica Durance dressed up as Wondy for an upcoming episode.

Smallville fans over in the States are gearing up for a two-hour special next month called Absolute Justice.

It's the series' take on the Justice Society and the promo above does a good job of making it look half decent.

I must admit to having a soft spot for Smallville even though it's mostly terrible, terrible, terrible.

But good terrible, ya know? I like the fact the main plot ends at the 30-minute mark to allow for a dozen minutes of 'emotions' (ie far-away looks) and now Lana has gone I can at least watch it without the urge rip out my own eyeballs.

Now if they can just blow up Chloe all these years would have been worth it!

Well, it's only a rumour at this stage... he is rumoured to be in the frame to play superhero Spider-Man.

It's been announced that TOBEY MAGUIRE and director SAM RAIMI will not be returning to the Spider-Man franchise next year..

But I kinda wish it wasn't.

Director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire are out as Sony seeks to reboot the franchise they themselves had ruined (the messed-up Spider-Man 3 was made with much studio pressure).

Anyway, it looks like we're going back to do the origin story again just 10 years after, errr, the origin story.

So Peter Parker's back in High School and we're gonna have to sit through Uncle Ben's death one more time.

With great power comes great responsibility. Sony just doesn't want to take any of the latter.

Heroes is back for a new season on the Beeb.

But don't expect the edge of the seat antics that closed the last series.

The new episodes have attracted a record low viewing audience in the States.

And word is that unless Heroes improves, it could be ditched.

A double episode at 10.10pm tonight on BBC2 finds Sylar having an identity crisis in Nathan's body, Claire meeting an old pal with a secret, and the arrival of a sinister travelling carnival troupe.

And the leader of the freak show is Robert Knepper - best known to you all as Theodore T-Bag Bagwell from Prison Break.

Be warned that T-Bag's players will play a big role in Sylar's future ...

Sony Pictures decided to delay the superhero sequel, which stars Tobey Maguire as geeky superhero Peter Parker and is directed by Sam Raimi, over concerns about the script, reports Variety.

"We will not start until we have it right - the feeling is we are not going to rush it to make the date," a Sony source told the film trade bible.

The decision means the fourth film in the series is unlikely to meet its announced May 6 2011 release date.

The film's director Sam hinted he would like to see Peter Parker become more mature.
"I've been talking with Tobey about where his character might grow to in this installment," he said last October.

Rene Russo has reportedly joined the cast of Thor!

British actor David Tennant has dismissed rumours he has been in secret talks to play The Riddler in the next Batman movie according to The Internet Movie Database.

The Doctor Who star, has previously spoken out about his desire to play the fiendish villian, portrayed by Jim Carrey in 1995's Batman Forever.

Let's face it he could be no more annoying than Carey.

Hollyscoop is reporting that music star Taylor Swift is being lined up to play Supergirl by Warner Bros.

Hollywood producers are reportedly very interested in Taylor playing the Girl of Steel for the remake of the 1984 movie, which was actually a big flop at the box office.

Supergirl first appeared in comic books in 1959. Helen Slater played the role in the movie -- a spin-off of the popular Superman film series, starring Christopher Reeves.
