APRIL FOOL’S! AGAIN!

You’d think after about 25 times y’all would have caught on by now…. or perhaps you did, and clicked the link to find out if you’re right. But guess what: Yeah, you’re right. As far as we know, there is no call sheet revealing Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are in James Gunn’s Superman, though it would be a nice gesture considering they’re forced to sit on this animated thing. So, you all can groan, tell us we suck, we’re used to it. We promise – fake stories only appear on this site once per year. Oh, and something that is not an April Fool, though it happens at this time every year too: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNETTE O’TOOLE!

Sometimes the things we write about do come true, though. Here are some of our KryptonSite April Fool’s from the past…

2002 – Lana’s Parents Return (happened in the Smallville episode “Void”); Chloe Sullivan Is Lois Lane (sort of happened, in “Delete” and “Hex”)
2003 – Ian Somerhalder To Guest Star As Bruce Wayne (he didn’t, but he did play “Adam Knight”); Chloe To Get A Spin-Off (do the Chloe Chronicles count?)
2004 – Who’s Going article with a picture of Pete; Mr. Mxyzptlk Coming To Smallville (happened in “Jinx”); Lexana: It’s Real (see Season 6)
2005 – Gough & Millar Prepare Young Aquaman Pilot (seriously, I didn’t know!); Dean Cain on Smallville (happened in “Cure”)
2006 – Christopher Eccleston To Appear As Zod (so it wasn’t Eccleston, but Zod did show in Season 9); “Bizarro” Is Coming (it happened!); Justin Hartley To Guest In Season 6 As Aquaman (so he showed up as Green Arrow instead)
2007 – Smallville Returns To The WB (TheWB.com now exists – and this article also mentions a Green Arrow TV show… that’ll never happen!) Tom Welling Signs Through Season 9 (if only we knew…); Clark’s Kryptonian Mother Lara To Appear (she did, but with a different actress than we suggested) Season 7 accurate predicted titles included “Bizarro” and “Kara.”
2008 – Rosenbaum Out For Season 8 (why did that one have to be true?); “Legion” listed as a predicted Season 8 episode title
2009 – Annette O’Toole Returning (it happened!); The BBC Plans Their Own Version Of Smallville (have you SEEN Merlin?)
2010 – Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders listed as writers for Episode #200. We predicted Wonder Woman would be coming to TV, but were wrong in suggesting it was going to happen on Smallville with Bridget Regan, who did ultimately end up playing a DC character as Poison Ivy on Batwoman. Our only correct episode title was “Booster.”
2011 – We posted a rumor of a live-action Young Justice series, and sure enough, Titans eventually landed on DC Universe. Oliver Queen and Dinah [Laurel] Lance had found some on-and-off love over on Arrow though in the end Green Arrow ended up married to a blonde hacker girl. Tell me if you’ve heard that story before….
2013 – Even though the KryptonSite April Fool went viral, Smallville didn’t return in 2014, though David S. Goyer was executive producer of a Krypton prequel series.
2014 – Smallville now really is on Blu-ray! We didn’t get Lois & Clark ’93, but we did have a Wonder Woman ’77, Batman ’89 and Superman ’78 from DC Comics.
2015 – What, Tom Welling didn’t appear on the Supergirl pilot? Oops. But he did eventually appear in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.
2016 – Supergirl hasn’t gone to Earth-Smallville yet (though Crisis on Infinite Earths did), and Zack Snyder didn’t make a Supergirl film, but we should have Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow within a few years!
2017 – Chloe Sullivan didn’t go to Legends of Tomorrow, instead choosing to get arrested, but we did sort of get development on a Lois Lane TV series with Metropolis.
2018 – No, there isn’t a Smallville reboot on DC Universe, and there never will be since they closed up shop. But hey, we did get Superman & Lois on The CW for four seasons.
2019 – Our list of guest stars for Crisis on Infinite Earths turned out to be pretty darned accurate…. we even called the Ezra Miller thing!
2020 – The 2020 crossover was to be “Challenge of the Superfriends.” That didn’t happen, nor was our story about a “Tom Welling Costume Cut” of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
2021 – Nope, no Superman & Lois/Batwoman crossover, and there wasn’t a Luthor team-up on Superman & Lois…. in the end, Wolé Parks wasn’t even playing a Luthor! Oops.
2022 – The Smallville animated project still hasn’t happened, and who knows if it even will with Warner Bros. Discovery ruining everything.
2023 – Michael Rosenbaum was not cast as Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s Superman movie, but he is Gunn’s favorite Lex Luthor, so that’s still a win, right?
2024 – No one from Smallville has made a Spider-Man TV show… yet.

Thanks for coming back to the site… KRYPTONSITE STILL EXISTS! That is never an April Fool.
