Clarks dad had to die so they could build up the drama between his mom and Lionel. A very interesting twist of fate there. I'm so excited that they have the justice league formed. I'm just waiting for Clark to get his costume, mmmm men in tights.

Why would he get sued if they let him fly.

of course he needs to die. if superman's father live, what will happen to the future superman? he won't have the courage to change and face his destiny... hey, girl! long time no see... i haven't gone to mylot a lot... how's life?

lol. i'm doing good. i'm glad to hear that you are okay. i was beginning to worry about you, because i haven't seen you online lately. I have been online everyday, but not as much as i use to be. it seems like i haven't been making much money the last week, so i'm just not really into being online alot. plus, last weekend was my son's birthday party. he turned 3 years old. we had him a birthday party at my dad's house. and we did all the decorations in the new disney movie 'cars'. we also had a hard time finding toys from that movie when we went to walmart. it seemed like they aren't putting them on the shelves anymore. i don't really know why.

In the Smallville series, Jor-El told Clark when he brought him back to life that the price was that someone close to him would die. That person turned out to be Johnathan Kent, his Earth father.

I hated to see Clark's dad die. I hope he shows up in some form in coming episodes. Jonathan did die in the early Superman movie. In the comics however he didn't.

i think they removed him because he wanted to leave! they changed the story according! i mean it wouldve been stupid if they replaced him with another guy!! smallville rules! i used to think smallville was the ultimate but then came heroes, which is competion for smallville!

I'm also very disappointed that they killed Johnathan Kent. He did die in the movies, but he's still alive in the comics now.

I remeber the old show of superman, and both his parents were on the show and he used to call them everytime something bad happened. maybe that's why i don't remember the superman movies of clarks dad not being alive

I can't remember how it was in the comics. I read them when I was a young girl and that was about 40 years ago! LOL! I was so shocked and disappointed when they killed off Jonathan! I decided it was because he wanted to play in his Dukes of Hazard remake stuff...

I think that clark should of left lana alone, that way he'd have both his parents. but if he did that then there wouldn't be drama between lex and clark, because lex is now with lana.

Why would they get sued if they fly? He's already flown in an episode where he was Kal El with the red kryptonite stuff. I'm waiting til he properly learns to fly although if it doesn't happen soon I'll lose interest in the show because there's not much more Superman type stuff they can add.

I agree with you there. They need to add something else that is eye catching and would keep viewers watching.

I think in the first movie his dad had a heart attack before Clark moved to the city, I could be wrong though
