Smallville

Trivia: Clark always wears blue and red clothes (or at least one of these colors). No surprise that when he got his Superman costume, he chose those same colors.

Trivia: Jerry Siegel, the co-creator of the Clark Kent/Superman character worked on a school magazine when he was at Glenville High School, Cleveland. The magazine was called The Torch - the same name of Smallville High's school magazine, edited by Chloe Sullivan and with Clark Kent as an on/off contributor.

Hero - S7-E13

Trivia: When Clark confronts the Flash in his hotel room, he reads off the fake IDs Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West. Those are the secret identities of the first three men to be called the Flash in the comics. Also, this Flash says his name is Bart, like Bart Allen, the teen hero formerly known as Impulse and currently being called "Kid Flash." (00:10:35)

Trivia: It has been stated that Clark mainly wears blue and red which are obviously the colors for Superman, but something that is less obvious is that Clark's parents Jonathon and Martha do the same thing. Martha mainly wears shades of red and Jonathon wears shades of blue.

Trivia: Despite many hours of outdoor farm work, Clark never gets a tan or a sunburn. In fact, Tom Welling, who plays Clark, is contractually forbidden from getting a tan, because the show creators were not sure if Kryptonians could tan.

Crusade - S4-E1

Trivia: Martha makes a remark suggesting she thinks Bridgette Crosby and Dr Swan are together to which Bridgette comments "In another lifetime." Bridgette is played by Margot Kidder, who played the original Lois Lane, Prof Swan was played by the late Christopher Reeve. A nice touch I think.

Hourglass - S1-E6

Trivia: When Lex visits Cassandra and asks her to see his future, she sees a vision of him in the White House. This is a reference to the modern-day Superman comic books, in which Luthor is now the U.S. president.

Craving - S1-E7

Trivia: The Smallville Torch that Lex views on the internet has two articles that refer to past episodes. Pete wrote an article about his trip in a limo called Take Yourself Out Of The Driver's Seat ("Hourglass") and Chloe reprinted The Most Controversial Speech Ever Given In Smallville by Lana's mother ("X-Ray"). (00:17:45)

Phoenix

Trivia: In the episode where Aquaman appears, he says, "We should start a JLA," (Junior Lifeguards Association). This is funny because he and Superman are later on a team Justice League of America.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Trivia: Throughout this episode, the Superman theme tune can be heard at various points being played very softly and slowly. The first time it is heard, it is only the first few opening keys, but the last time it is heard, it is fully played.

Trivia: In the episode where Clark is lured to the asylum when Lex is with some of his former enemies, Jonathan Taylor Thomas' character taunts Lex while holding a newspaper with a headline starting, "Themysciran princess" and some other words. That is a reference to Wonder Woman, who is from Themyscira.

Slumber - S3-E4

Trivia: All the music in this episode is by the band REM. Which is fitting as REM stands for "Rapid Eye Movement", the deepest part of sleep, where dreams occur.

Pariah - S4-E12

Trivia: At the end, when Clark is visiting Alicia's grave, there is another grave shown with the name Allison Dunn on it, which is the name of Smallville's set decorator.

Action - S7-E5

Trivia: The alias that Lois uses when breaking into Lex's office is Sadie Blodgett - this is an alias Lois uses in issue 101 of the silver age comic series "Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane". (00:18:00)

ComicBoy

Trivia: At least two of the episodes in the series, "Shimmer" and "Jinx", are named after DC villains. Although they never fought the Man of Steel himself, both of them have fought Indigo, an android with some of Superman's DNA fused to her.

Shattered - S3-E8

Trivia: The asylum to which Lex is taken at the end of the episode is called "Belle Reve," which is French for "beautiful dream." It is also the name of the family mansion that once belonged to Blanche and Stella DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire." The mansion was lost, but it was the one memory to which Blanche clinged throughout her descent into madness. Belle Reve is also home to many lesser powered super villains in the DC universe, including some of Superman's enemies.

Exposed - S5-E6

Trivia: This episode had a strong Dukes of Hazard theme as it reunited John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) and Tom Wopat (Senator Jack Jennings) who played Bo and Luke Duke respectively in the Dukes of Hazard. This included stunt driving by Jon Schneider, and him listening to "Good Ole Boys", the DoH theme song.

Trespass - S6-E14

Martha Kent: Clark? What are you still doing out here?
Clark Kent: Well, I'm still doing my chores.
Martha Kent: Well, you usually finish those in about two minutes. How is it that I drove to Metropolis, attended the Children's Foundation dinner, and made it back before you finished?
Clark Kent: Because I'm doing them the normal way.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
