Smallville Execs: Clark's Flight Will Not Be Aborted by Robin Series
Smallville by Timothy White/The CW
Avowing their "every intention of letting [fans] be the first to know the reality,"
Smallville executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders have issued a statement addressing rampant speculation that the development of
The Graysons, a new CW series chronicling the pre-Batman days of young master Dick, means that Clark Kent's own days are numbered.
"Never have we been so committed to the continuing success of
Smallville as we are to seasons 8 and 9," the pair say in a note posted to
KryptonSite.com. "While we are extremely excited to... create the origin story of Dick Grayson, it has never been intended as a replacement for
Smallville."
Souders and Petersen, who are creating
The Graysons with
Supernatural executive producer McG, go on to promise
Smallville fans, "[We] are all working full-steam ahead on a storyline for Clark that allows for seasons of further trials and adventures for our favorite hero." -
