The show would go on for only 4 seasons, and 53 episodes despite being seen by most fans of the superhero shows that The CW would air, as the best quality of all the shows. It sadly was a victim of bad timing. The Sale of The CW, along with the sale of WB, all around the same time was too much for the show to handle, and it was ended much MUCH earlier than expected.

Below are some photos I took on the set. If you are a regular to my blogs, you have probably seen some, or all of them. If you are a newcomer to my blogs, I took photos of their filming from the pilot episode, right through to the final episode.

I have divided the photos into different groups, to make sure they didnt just all go in as a jumbled mess.
First off, Mr. Clark Kent, aka, Superman. The 1st two photos of this set are probably my 2 favorite of all the photos I took of the show.

One shows him giving the peace sign during the COVID restrictions era of the 1st season. At first, I thought he must be waving at some crew member around where I was, but I looked saw no one even close to me.... so I do think he saw me, across a park, and gave the peace sign. The 2nd photo, is another classic. He was at set, with a camera for some reason (it wasnt used in the scene, so I guess he was just randomly taking photos of something that day). He saw me with my camera, and he wanted me to take a photo of him taking a photo of me.... I hastily lifted my camera up, my settings werent perfect, as I wasnt expecting to take a photo so close, but it still went pretty well. The others are through out the run of the show, including the very 1st set I ever photographed him on (unfortunately, from the distance of about 3 football fields away...... at dark.... in weird lighting.... so it wasnt the greatest (shot 5).

Of course, the show wasnt all about Clark Kent, it had many other characters. Lois Lane of course, along with their sons, Jordan and Jonathan. There was John Henry Irons as Steel, and Natalie Irons as Starlight. There was a plethora of villains as well, and I did manage a few photos of them over the years too.... although I never photographed Lex Luthor on set.

I did get to break the scoop of what Michael Bishop would look like as Jonathan Kent after the recast with the 1st photos of him on set, I also got to be the 1st person to photograph Jordan Elsass as Bizarro Jonathan.

I got to see the downtown Smallville set 3 times over the years, but only once when something was filming for me to see. There were lots of other sets I was at where there were multiple cast members there.... and even got to photograph the actor for Lex Luthor one set, when he was directing.

Last but not least, I got to meet the cast. In some cases, several times. Every single one of them were class acts. I got to get photos with most of them, many of those photos, coming when I was meeting them as they were going  into, or coming out of, the series wrap party. But none of them are cooler than when I got a photo with Tyler Hoechlin in the Superman suit on the season 3 finale set.

You can find 100s more photos that you see in this blog in the rest of this blog section. They are in chronological order by most recent set, the series finale (sorry, there isnt a way to reverse the order that I have found).

Huge thanks to the cast of the show. Always class acts when I interacted with them. While I did have a couple issues with a couple different crew members over the year (especially in the first season), the majority of this crew was great to interact with. I do miss this show. It ended too early.

This morning & afternoon I went down to the Superman And Lois set that was in front of the casino behind B.C. Place. This has become a semi-regular location for Arrowverse shows of late, as The Flash has been in that area several times in the past couple seasons, Batwoman once, and now Superman & Lois.

In the early afternoon, the crew set up a scene that is supposed to be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with some criminals robbing an armored truck. In the first few takes, they did the scene with just the criminals, and some cops who come in after to arrest the crooks. At the time, you dont know what happens yet, but the 3 crooks all end up tossed onto the hood of the car they are trying to get away in, and 1 of them has his gun crumpled up.

A bit later, we find out who stopped these thieves. Tyler Hoechlin was on set in a kind of "its seen better days" Superman costume. The cape is tattered, and the front looks like it hasnt seen a washing machine in a few weeks. With him, was Jordan Elsass as Jonathan Kent. This was the first time I ever saw Jordan on set, or even in person. He came out in something a little less Jonathan looking, and a bit more "superhero in training" looking, as he was wearing a black t-shirt with a red House of El crest on it, that looked like it was dripping blood on it. He also had a leather jacket on, and red pants. He also was sporting somewhat of a punk look. 

The scene has the pair show up, seemingly thwart the crooks somehow, then turn around to applause from a crowd of onlookers & photographers. They give the crowd a wave, and that was the end of the scene. I have already seen in certain parts of the internet, people discussing my photos that were put up on Patreon 1st, if this is in fact our Clark & Jonathan, or could this be the Bizarro version of them. Hard to say, all I can say is the "S" on their chests was proper, and not reversed.

While I was there, I dealt with more than an unreasonable amount of harassment from some of the crew (while it is rare, it isnt completely unheard of... and this specific show has acted this way more like this than any other show I have encountered, ever). But I will give kudos to the Key ALM (I'd name the person, but I dont know if they want that.) who came over, listened, communicated with me & another photographer there, and in the end de-escalated what had reached a pretty tense situation. At 1 point immediately before their presence, a Teamster (imagine a less intelligent version of a mall security guard... not to say ALL Teamsters are that way, but a shockingly large percentage are) confronting me so aggressively he had backed up literally within 6 inches of me, a person on crutches, to try & block me from walking along a public pathway. He was less than 2 inches from the front of my camera, and thus, less than 2 inches away from finding out my crutch can be used for other purposes. Thankfully for him, cooler heads prevailed, and the Key ALM really should get a promotion for the way they handled the situation.

Fingers crossed that now that Superman & Lois has broken the ice on coming back down for this season, we will see them a bit more before they wrap.

Video will come later on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on in a few weeks.
Some of the videos will be on the Patreon page for video tier members in the next couple weeks.
