Images Of Booster Gold & Blue Beetle From Upcoming Smallville

Smallville returns from hiatus with a new episode on April 15. A week later, on April 22, two DC Comics characters will be making an appearance in the episode: Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. The CW has released promo photos for the upcoming episode.

On April 22, Lois suggests to Clark that his daytime persona should become less noticeable so that people don't suspect he's The Blur after everything that happened with the VRA. So Clark starts adopting the look of Clark Kent, newspaper reporter - complete with the trenchcoat and glasses. At the same time, Booster Gold (played by Eric Martsolf) arrives from the future. Booster is a fame-hungry superhero, who's interested in posing for reporters after saving people's lives. Metropolis starts showering Booster with gratitude and recognition and he continues on his path to overshadow The Blur as the "World's Greatest Superhero". He even tries to convince Lois to write an article about him. But Lois is loyal to Clark and The Blur and tries to counter Booster's PR campaign with one for The Blur.

Jaden Brandt will also be guest starring as Jamie Reyes/The Blue Bettle, after an alien weapon resembling a scarab beatle falls from a truck during one of Booster's saves and latches on to Jamie. Unlike Booster and The Blur, however, Jamie is not able to control his powers or his new suit and starts attacking citizens around Metropolis.
