A preview of the upcoming January 15th episode of Smallville has hit the Interwebs. Viewers get to see what the Legion of Super Heroes look like in their first ever live-action incarnation as well as LSH nemesis The Persuader (he's the guy with the mask covering his whole head and the axe).I have been amazed at how Smallville has reimagined itself with the departures of Lex and Lana (although given the guest appearance by Kristen Kreuk and the back-of-the-head bald man that is presumably Lex, they didn't stay away for long). Hopefully the series will know when to leave with good grace rather the milking the dead cow.
The episode is penned by DC Comics writer Geoff Johns, so my guess is the characters will probably be consistent with the comic book version (or at least a variation that is acceptable to comic book fans). Will it be good? That's another question.
Judge for yourself. Video is after the jump.

Tip to the writers: a sure fire way to get ALL your fans back. KILL FUCKING LANA AND KEEP HER DEAD.
She sucks ass and continually ruins everything. This season was the best in a looooong time until the sudden reappearance of her.
That preview looked really good except for all the lana bits. I need supes flying already too.

Agreed. In fact, I was going to say they should just kill her already myself, if no one else had yet. And I'm a big Supes fan. If they had cast the right person for Lana, then I would have wanted her and Pete to get together, just like in the comics. But I'd rather Kristin never return to the show, ever again.
