March Madness begins! This month, we’re putting Smallville and Arrow head-to-head to determine which show had the biggest impact on superhero television. In this first matchup, Laramy Wells and Blake Fowler explore why Smallville arrived at just the right time. The early 2000s were a time of uncertainty and change. Audiences were searching for heroes who could inspire hope, resilience, and a belief in something greater. With the world in need of optimism, Smallville gave us a modern Superman origin story—one that redefined superhero TV and reminded us why Superman matters. Tune in as we break down the events that led to its creation and set the stage for this ultimate showdown!
