Maxima on Smallville – UPDATE

Kryptonsite reports that another character from the DCU is entering the realm of the show. The warrior princess, Maxima.

UPDATED 7/15/08: Casting notices have gone out in Vancouver for the role of Maxima. Maxima first appeared in DC Comics’ Action Comics #645 back in 1989 and was at one time even a member of the Justice League comic book continuity. She also appeared in the Superman animated series. The comics version of Maxima is a
royal queen from the planet Almerac determined to be the bride of Superman. We don’t know the title for this one yet, although considering the character, “Maxima” is a strong possibility.

Honestly, it’s okay at best. Like Rob mentioned on the podcast that there aren’t enough Superman adversaries running around the world of the show. Accept the producers’ philosophy is to have one for each a season. Zod in the end and beginning of seasons 5 and 6 and Bizarro at the of 6 and halfway of 7 to name a few. Hope the JLA are forming to face something later down the season like Doomsday maybe?

UPDATE – 7/16

News has come out, for legal reasons, Maxima is not coming to the show in episode 4.
Honestly, it would’ve been a fun episode to see but I wouldn’t think much of it when it was all said and done.
