Exciting news, Smallville fans! The CW show has just cast the roles of two more superheroes from the DC universe: Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Taking the character of Blue Beetle to the small screen are Sebastian Spence (Camelot, BSG, First Wave) and Jaren Brandt Bartlett (The Troop).

Spence (pictured above, middle) will play Ted Kord, an inventor-turned-superhero who inherited the mantle of original Blue Beetle. Bartlett (pictured above, left) will play Jaime Reyes, the third Blue Beetle who was chosen by the scarab artifact.

Both will appear in Smallville’s seventeenth episode of this final season entitled “Booster”, written by Geoff Johns. According to executive producer Brian Peterson, this episode will team Blue Beetle up with Booster Gold:

“We meet Ted Kord as a captain of industry who has lost a valuable weapon…the scarab. He’ll cross paths with Booster Gold, Jaime Reyes, and, of course, Clark.”

Who landed the role of Booster Gold? Days of Our Lives soap star, Eric Martsolf (pictured above, right) has been cast as Michael Jon Carter aka Booster Gold, a superhero from the future.
