In the upcoming Smallville episode aptly titled “Supergirl”, Kara Zor-El (Laura Vandervoort) will suit up as her superhero alter ego. This very well may foreshadow what’s to come for Clark (Tom Welling) as the CW series comes to a close in this tenth and final season of the show.
Executive producer Kelly Souders lays it out on Kara’s storyline:
“You really see her as Supergirl. Not the whole outfit, but her wardrobe will have evolved even a little more than Clark’s. She’s less Kara and way more Supergirl.”
Vandervoort talks about Clark’s cousin’s return after two years of being MIA:
“Kara returns in a very heroic way. When I found out this could be my last episode, I thought it would be great to see a quick glimpse of her in the uniform before she takes off.”
And she means “takes off” literally. Kara will “don her new look for a photo shoot after she becomes a media darling following a heroic save that reveals her flying capabilities to the world.”
Expect to see Smallville’s Kara to pay homage to the Kara of the comics as Vandervoort explains:
“You’ll see Kara in the [brunette] wig and glasses [as] a bit of an homage to her other identity from the comics, Linda Lee Danvers.”
How will this affect Clark? Souders tips us in the right direction:
“Kara has a lot of input down the road in Clark’s transformation into Superman.”
Look for Kara to return on October 8th. Watch the season premiere of Smallville on the CW, September 24, 2010.
