SHANNON ELIZABETH IS BACK FOR AMERICAN REUNION.

SHANNON ELIZABETH AND TERI HATCHER BATTLE IN POKER TOURNAMENT.

IS SMALLVILLE PLANNING TO CAST SHANNON ELIZABETH (WONDER WOMAN) AND VAL KILMER (BATMAN) FOR FEBRUARY SWEEPS?

Inside sources claim, the producers are having quiet discussions with the stars about the big-time move. This would lead to an "official" forming of the Justice League/Super Friends on the show. Fans would finally see: Clark (Tom Welling) eventual flying, getting/wearing his Super-suit, and officially accepting his Kryptonian heritage and leaving behind the last of his flawed humanity. Then, see Welling satirizing that behavior to his own amusements- in hip geek version of Kent, Reeves-style.

The producers feel it would be a perfect time, since Elizabeth is damaged goods at the moment and is desperate for work. Kilmer has finally reached a point in his career, when he is affordable and willing to work in TV (voicing the new KITT in a failed Knight Rider reboot and a failed TV movie that aired on NBC, that should remain nameless.)

Also, with the show going into its ninth and last season, the show could use the two actors- to push the ratings up. Since, this would be Kilmer's most likely final time- playing the role and the prospect of Shannon fighting and emoting half-naked, could give her just the career boost- she needs.

Finally, if the network succeeds in this move- would give a product placement plug- to an upcoming arcade game, about the Justice League to debut in the fall.
