Smallville Season 9 Episode 12 – Society – Casting News
IGN TV has now exclusively learned the names of two of the Justice Society members we’ll be meeting on the series – and the actors who have just been cast to play them.
As it turns out, Hawkman and Doctor Fate will both be part of the Smallville incarnation of the Justice Society. This goes hand in hand with DC Comics, where both characters have notable histories with the team and its various incarnations, dating back to the 1940s.
Playing Hawkman will be an actor who brings his own notable sci-fi following to the role. Michael Shanks, who has recently been appearing on Burn Notice, but is best known as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1, will portray the classic DC hero.
Doctor Fate will be played by Brent Stait, who had an ongoing role on Andromeda as Rev Bem. Stait also has experience in the Stargate world, having appeared on SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, along with the direct-to-DVD movie Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods.
Geoff Johns recently wrote on Twitter that the third member of the Justice Society was “A girl. Who likes stars,” which all but ensures it’s Courtney Whitmore, AKA Stargirl, played by Britt Irvin (Aliens in America)
