How accurate is Smallville with the Superman DC comics?
1) For Smallville there are elements that are based on the comics but not faithful to them. For example, Chloe Sullivan doesn’t exist in the comics. The way Lois Lane became a reporter is inaccurate. In Smallville she sort of stumbled upon it when she actually persued it in the comics. The character of Oliver Queen is actually based more on Bruce Wayne/Batman then the real Oliver Queen. Martha and Jonathen are older and live on the farm (although Jonathen just died in the comics from a heart attack). Lana was never married to Lex, but she did run Lexcorp for a few months about a year ago in the comics. In fact, Lana married Pete and had his child. DC writers have also admitted that they had altered some of the comic history to match with the show. For example, in the modern age history of Clark’s highschool time Lana was interested in Clark but he wasn’t interested in her. Flashbacks over the last few years now portray it as a mutual interest that was never really explored. 2) Superman
