Smallville Soundtrack Season 6 : Snow Patrol -You Could Be Happy

Labels: Posted by Tim

Snow Patrol - You could be happy (music only)



Lyric : You could be happy and i won't know
But you weren't happy the day i watched you go.

And all the things that i wish i had not said,
Are played in loops till it's madness in my head.


Is it too late to remind you how we were?
But not our last days of silent screaming blur.

Most of what i remember makes me sure
I should've stopped you from walking out the door.

You could be happy i hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything i own, smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true.

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think just do

More than anything i want to see you girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Superman : Para Karakter Pendukung

Labels: Posted by Tim July 29, 2008

Clark Kent, identitas rahasia Superman, didasarkan sebagian pada Harold Lloyd dan dinamakan dari gabungan nama Clark Gable dan Kent Taylor. Para penciptanya telah mendiskusikan ide apakah Superman berpura-pura sebagai Clark Kent atau sebaliknya, dan dalam waktu publikasi yang berbeda, keduanya dipakai. Walaupun secara khas ditampilkan sebagai reporter surat kabar, selama tahun 1970-an sang karakter meninggalkan Daily Planet untuk bekerja di televisi, sedang di tahun 1980-an sang karakter diubah oleh John Byrne menjadi lebih agresif. Keagresifan ini mengabur setelah pencipta berikutnya mengembalikan sifat lembut yang tradisional dalam karakter ini.

Karakter pendamping Superman yang penting salah satunya Lois Lane, mungkin karakter ini paling sering di kaitkan dengan Superman, telah digambarkan dalam waktu yang berbeda sebagai koleganya, pesaing, kekasih dan atau istri. Karakter pendukung lain yang penting meliputi rekan kerjanya di Daily Planet seperti fotografer Jimmy Olsen dan editor Perry White, orangtua angkat Clark Kent : Jonathan dan Martha Kent, kekasih masa kecilnya Lana Lang dan sahabat baiknya Pete Ross, dan bekas kekasihnya semasa kuliah Lori Lemaris (sebagai puteri duyung).

Inkarnasi Supergirl, Krypto si anjing super dan Superboy juga menjadi karakter yang penting dalam mitos, juga Justice League of America dimana biasanya dia adalah anggotanya. Para karakter pendukung biasanya memakai nama yang mengandung,khususnya initial “LL”, seperti Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Linda Lee, Lucy Lane, Lana Lang. Lori Lemaris, kesamaan seperti itu menjadi sesuatu yang biasa di dunia komik pada awalnya.

Menjadi satu tim dengan kawan sesama ikon komik Batman adalah hal biasa, menginspirasikan banyak cerita tahun demi tahun. Saat berpasangan, mereka sering ditunjuk sebagai the “Wold’s Finest” persetujuan kepada nama serial buku komik yang menyertakan banyak cerita dimana mereka menjadi satu tim. Di 2003, DC Comics mulai mempublikasikan serial baru yang menyertakan dua karakter tersebut dengan judul Superman/Batman.

Superman juga mempunyai segudang musuh, termasuk musuh paling terkenal, Lex Luthor, yang digambarkan bertahun-tahun dalam begitu banyak bentuk sebagai ilmuwan jenius yang brengsek dengan dendam pribadi terhadap Superman, atau CEO dari konglomerasi bernama LexCorp yang berkuasa tetapi korup. Di 2000-an, dia bahkan menjadi Presiden Amerika Serikat, dan telah digambarkan biasanya sebagai mantan sahabat masa kecil Clark Kent. Android Alien ( dalam kebanyakan inkarnasi) dikenal sebagai Brainiac dianggap oleh Richard George sebagai musuh paling efektif kedua bagi Superman. Musuh yang paling “berhasil” dibanding yang lain, yaitu dengan benar-benar membunuh Superman, adalah si monster yang suka mengamuk bernama Doomsday Darkseid, satu dari makhluk DC Universe yang paling kuat, juga merupakan musuh yang paling susah dikalahkan dalam masa pasca krisis. Musuh lain yang telah disertakan dalam banyak inkarnasi karakter, dari buku komik ke film dan televisi termasuk anak nakal dari dimensi kelima Mr Mxyzptlk, kebalikan Superman yang dikenal sebagai Bizarro dan penjahat Krypton Jenderal Zod.

Supporting cast

Main article: Superman character and cast

Clark Kent, Superman’s secret identity, was based partly on Harold Lloyd and named after Clark Gable and Kent Taylor.[83] Creators have discussed the idea of whether Superman pretends to be Clark Kent or vice versa, and at differing times in the publication either approach has been adopted.[84][85] Although typically a newspaper reporter, during the 1970s the character left the Daily Planet for a time to work for television,[85] whilst the 1980s revamp by John Byrne saw the character become somewhat more aggressive.[80] This aggressiveness has since faded with subsequent creators restoring the mild mannerisms traditional to the character.

Superman’s large cast of supporting characters includes Lois Lane, perhaps the character most commonly associated with Superman, being portrayed at different times as his colleague, competitor, love interest and/or wife. Other main supporting characters include Daily Planet coworkers such as photographer Jimmy Olsen and editor Perry White, Clark Kent’s adopted parents Jonathan and Martha Kent, childhood sweetheart Lana Lang and best friend Pete Ross, and former college love interest Lori Lemaris (a mermaid). Stories making reference to the possibility of Superman siring children have been featured both in and out of mainstream continuity.

Incarnations of Supergirl, Krypto the Superdog, and Superboy have also been major characters in the mythos, as well as the Justice League of America (of which Superman is usually a member). A feature shared by several supporting characters is alliterative names, especially with the initials "LL", including Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Linda Lee, Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris and Lucy Lane,[86] alliteration being common in early comics.

Team-ups with fellow comics icon Batman are common, inspiring many stories over the years. When paired, they are often referred to as the "World’s Finest" in a nod to the name of the comic book series that features many team-up stories. In 2003, DC Comics began to publish a new series featuring the two characters titled Superman/Batman.

Superman also has a rogues gallery of enemies, including his most well-known nemesis, Lex Luthor, who has been envisioned over the years in various forms as either a rogue scientific genius with a personal vendetta against Superman, or a powerful but corrupt CEO of a conglomerate called LexCorp.[87] In the 2000s, he even becomes President of the United States,[88] and has been depicted occasionally as a former childhood friend of Clark Kent. The alien android (in most incarnations) known as Brainiac is considered by Richard George to be the second most effective enemy of Superman.[89] The enemy that accomplished the most, by actually killing Superman, is the raging monster Doomsday. Darkseid, one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, is also a formidable nemesis in most post-Crisis comics. Other enemies who have featured in various incarnations of the character, from comic books to film and television include the fifth-dimensional imp Mr. Mxyzptlk, the reverse Superman known as Bizarro and the Kryptonian criminal General Zod.

Superman : Sumber Inspirasi

Labels: Posted by Tim July 25, 2008


Sumber Inspirasi

Inspirasi cerita awal Superman ada dalam konteks Depresi Besar. Perspektif dimana  pencipta Shuster dan Siegel bersandar tergambarkan dalam  cerita awal. Superman tergambarkan sebagai aktivis sosial, melawan pengusaha dan politisi yang tidak jujur dan penghancuran rumah-rumah. Ini terlihat oleh sarjana komik Roger Sabin sebagai refleksi dari "idealisme liberal dari Perjanjian Baru Franklin Roosevelt",dimana Shuster dan Siegel sebenarnya menggambarkan Superman sebagai pemenang dari banyak masalah sosial. Program radio Superman berikutnya,diceritakan  sang karakter mulai menangani semacam isu, seperti menggasak versi dari the KKK di siaran 1946.

Siegel sendiri mencatat bahwa banyak dongeng pahlawan yang ada dalam tradisi banyak budaya membawa pengaruh dalam sang karakter, termasuk Hercules dan Samson. Sang karakter juga telah terlihat oleh Scott Bukatman telah menjadi "penerus yang layak untuk Lindberg"(dan)juga"seperti Babe Ruth", dan juga menggambarkan kembali dedikasi AS terhadap "kemajuan dan pembaharuan " melalui "tubuh yang kuat..yang tidak tergambar dalam sejarah.".Lebih jauh, Siegel dan Shuster di kenal sebagai penggemar science fiction murahan,  kemungkinan adanya pengaruh lain dari Hugo Danner. Danner adalah karakter utama dalam novel 1930 Gladiator ditulis oleh Philip Wylie dan memiliki kekuatan yang sama dengan Superman pertama.

Karena baik Siegel dan Shuster adalah orang Yahudi, beberapa komentator religius dan sarjana budaya pop seperti Rabbi Simcha Weinstein dan novelis Inggris Howard Jacobson menilai bahwa penciptaan Superman terinspirasi oleh Musa, dan elemen lain dari orang-orang Yahudi. Nama Krypton Superman, "Kal-El", mirip dengan kata Yahudi קל-אל  , yang dapat diartikan sebagai "suara Tuhan". Suffiks "el" berarti "(dari) Tuhan"juga ditemukan dalam nama-nama malaikat (misalnya Gabriel, Ariel) yang merupakan agen Tuhan berwujud humanoid yang bisa terbang dengan kekuatan manusia super. Legenda Yahudi Golem disebut sebagai perbandingan yang layak, makhluk Golem adalah makhluk mistis yang diciptakan untuk melindungi dan melayani orang-orang Yahudi yang tersiksa di abad 16 di Prague yang belakangan bisa selamat, dalam budaya populer mengacu kepada penderitaan mereka di tangan Nazi di Eropa selama tahun 1930 dan 1940-an. Superman sering terlihat sebagai analogi Yesus, yang menjadi penyelamat kemanusiaan.

Sedangkan istilah Superman sebenarnya mengacu kepada Nietzsche( seorang filsuf ), tapi tidak begitu jelas bagaimana pengaruh Nietzsche dan idealismenya kepada Siegel dan Shuster. Les Daniels berspekulasi bahwa" Siegel mengambil istilah itu dari penulis science fiksi lain yang dipekerjakan untuk itu", lebih jauh tidak ada yang " konsepnya diingat oleh ribuan juta orang yang benar-benar tahu siapa itu Nietzsche". Jacobson dan yang lain menekankan bahwa dalam banyak hal Superman dan the Ubermensch (teori manusia super ciptaan Nietzsche)  berlawanan seperti kedua kutub yang berbeda. Nietzsche menggambarkan Ubermensch sebagai manusia yang merasa lebih dari keterbatasan masyarakat, agama dan moralitas tetapi pada dasarnya tetap manusia. Superman, walaupun seorang alien diberkahi dengan kekuatan luar biasa, memilih untuk lebih menghormati kode moral kemanusiaan dan sosial, Nietzsche menggambarkan manusia yang merasa lebih tinggi dari kode moral. Siegel dan Shuster menggambarkan sang karakter sebagai manusia sempurna yang mempunyai standar tinggi tetapi memutuskan terikat dengan kode moral.

Siegel dan Shuster saling berdiskusi mengenai sejumlah pengaruh terhadap sang karakter. Keduanya merupakan kutu buku, dan kecintaan mereka terhadap science fiction menolong mempertahankan persahabatan mereka. Siegel memuji cerita John Carter sebagai hal yang mempengaruhinya."Carter mampu melompati jarak yang jauh karena planet Mars lebih kecil daripada planet Bumi; dan dia mempunyai kekuatan besar. Saya menggambarkan planet Krypton sebagai planet yang besar, lebih besar daripada Bumi." Pasangan itu juga merupakan kolektor yang gemar sekali mengoleksi strip komik semasa muda mereka, memotongnya dari koran, dengan Little Nemo karangan Winsor Mckay menggiring imajinasi mereka dengan "sense of"  fantasinya. Shuster juga berkata mengenai artis(baca : seniman ) yang memegang peran penting dalam pengembangan gayanya sendiri, selagi tidak ada pengaruh besar; "Alex Raymond dan Burne Hogarth adalah idola saya-juga Milt Caniff, Hal Foster, dan Roy Crane. Tetapi film adalah pengaruh terbesar dalam imajinasi kami : terutama film Douglas Fairbanks Senior." Fairbanks memerankan Robin Hood, jelas-jelas merupakan inspirasi, sebagaimana yang Shuster akui bahwa gaya Superman waktut berdiri di dasarkan pada film tersebut. Film tersebut juga mempengaruhi jalan cerita dan layout halaman, lagipula  kota Metropolis dinamakan untuk menghormati film Fritz Lang dengan judul yang sama.

Sejarah Sang Superman

Superman, telah berkembang sebagaimana pertualangannya meningkat. Detail-detail dari asal Superman, hubungannya dan kemampuannya telah diubah secara signifikan selama publikasi sang karakter, dari apa yang di namakan masa keemasan buku komik hingga Zaman Modern. Kekuatan-kekuatannya dan para penjahat berkembang selama tahun 1940-an,dengan pengembangan kemampuan Superman untuk terbang, dan kostum penjahat diperkenalkan dari 1941. Sang karakter ditunjukkan telah belajar keberadaan Krypton di 1949. Konsepnya sendiri (konsep Krypton) telah dibangun untuk para pembaca di 1939, dalam komik strip Superman.

1960-an memperkenalkan Superman kedua, Kal-L. DC telah menciptakan multiverse (semesta ganda) di dalam dunia fiksi yang sang karakter tempati. Karakter kedua ini menegaskan bahwa ada dunia paralel. Superman kedua diperkenalkan kepada pembaca untuk menjelaskan keanggotaan Superman baik dalam tim superhero Justice Society of America dan tim superhero Justice League of Amerika.

1980-an terlihat revisi radikal terhadap karakter ini. DC Comics memutuskan untuk memindahkan multiverse untuk sedikit memudahkan jalan cerita. Ini membuat penulisan kembali jalan cerita dari karakter tersebut. John Byrne menulis ulang Superman, memindahkan kembali banyak ketentuan yang telah ditetapkan dan karakter-karakter yang ada dari kontinuitas, termasuk Superboy dan Supergirl. Bryne juga menghidupkan kembali orang tua angkat Superman. Pasangan Kent sebagai karakter. Dalam cerita sebelumnya pasangan Kent digambarkan meninggal di kehidupan awal Superman ( sekitar waktu kelulusan Clark Kent dari SMA).

1990-an diperlihatkan bahwa Superman dibunuh oleh sang penjahat Doomsday, walaupun sang karakter segera dibangkitkan kembali. Superman juga menikah dengan Lois Lane di 1996. Tempat asalnya di kunjungi kembali di 2004. Di 2006 Superman menanggalkan kekuatannya, walau kekuatannya ini dikembalikan.





CUT OPEN THE SUPERMAN : INSPIRATIONS and CHARACTER’S HISTORY


Influences


An influence on early Superman stories is the context of the Great Depression. The left-leaning perspective of creators Shuster and Siegel is reflected in early storylines. Superman took on the role of social activist, fighting crooked businessmen and politicians and demolishing run-down tenements.[26] This is seen by comics scholar Roger Sabin as a reflection of "the liberal idealism of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal", with Shuster and Siegel initially portraying Superman as champion to a variety of social causes.[27] In later Superman radio programs the character continued to take on such issues, tackling a version of the KKK in a 1946 broadcast.[28][29]

Siegel himself noted that the many mythic heroes which exist in the traditions of many cultures bore an influence on the character, including Hercules and Samson.[12] The character has also been seen by Scott Bukatman to be "a worthy successor to Lindberg ... (and) also ... like Babe Ruth", and is also representative of the United States dedication to "progress and the ’new’" through his "invulnerable body ... on which history cannot be inscribed."[30] Further, given that Siegel and Shuster were noted fans of pulp science fiction,[9] it has been suggested that another influence may have been Hugo Danner. Danner was the main character of the 1930 novel Gladiator by Philip Wylie, and is possessed of same powers of the early Superman.[31]

Because Siegel and Shuster were both Jewish, some religious commentators and pop-culture scholars such as Rabbi Simcha Weinstein and British novelist Howard Jacobson suggest that Superman’s creation was partly influenced by Moses,[32][33] and other Jewish elements. Superman’s Kryptonian name, "Kal-El," resembles the Hebrew words קל-אל, which can be taken to mean "voice of God".[34] [35]. The suffix "el", meaning "(of) God"[36] is also found in the name of angels (e.g. Gabriel, Ariel), who are flying humanoid agents of good with superhuman powers. Jewish legends of the Golem have been cited as worthy of comparison,[37] a Golem being a mythical being created to protect and serve the persecuted Jews of 16th century Prague and later revived in popular culture in reference to their suffering at the hands of the Nazis in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. Superman is often seen as being an analogy for Jesus, being a saviour of humanity.[33][37][27][38]

Whilst the term Superman was initially coined by Nietzsche, it is unclear how influential Nietzsche and his ideals were to Siegel and Shuster.[33] Les Daniels has speculated that "Siegel picked up the term from other science fiction writers who had casually employed it", further noting that "his concept is remembered by hundreds of millions who may barely know who Nietzsche is."[12] Others argue that Siegel and Shuster "could not have been unaware of an idea that would dominate Hitler’s National Socialism. The concept was certainly well discussed."[39] Yet Jacobson and others point out that in many ways Superman and the Ãœbermensch are polar opposites.[32] Nietzsche envisioned the Ãœbermensch as a man who had transcended the limitations of society, religion, and conventional morality while still being fundamentally human. Superman, although an alien gifted with incredible powers, chooses to honor human moral codes and social mores. Nietzsche envisioned the perfect man as being beyond moral codes; Siegel and Shuster envisioned the perfect man as holding himself to a higher standard of adherence to them.[40]

Siegel and Shuster have themselves discussed a number of influences that impacted upon the character. Both were avid readers, and their mutual love of science fiction helped to drive their friendship. Siegel cited John Carter stories as an influence: "Carter was able to leap great distances because the planet Mars was smaller that the planet Earth; and he had great strength. I visualized the planet Krypton as a huge planet, much larger than Earth".[16] The pair were also avid collectors of comic strips in their youth, cutting them from the newspaper, with Winsor McKay’s Little Nemo firing their imagination with its sense of fantasy.[41] Shuster has remarked on the artists which played an important part in the development of his own style, whilst also noting a larger influence: "Alex Raymond and Burne Hogarth were my idols — also Milt Caniff, Hal Foster, and Roy Crane. But the movies were the greatest influence on our imagination: especially the films of Douglas Fairbanks Senior."[42] Fairbanks’ role as Robin Hood was certainly an inspiration, as Shuster admitted to basing Superman’s stance upon scenes from the movie.[43] The movies also influenced the storytelling and page layouts,[44] whilst the city of Metropolis was named in honor of the Fritz Lang motion picture of the same title.[16]


Comic book character


Superman, given the serial nature of comic publishing and the length of the character’s existence, has evolved as a character as his adventures have increased.[59] The details of Superman’s origin, relationships and abilities changed significantly during the course of the character’s publication, from what is considered the Golden Age of comic books through the Modern Age. The powers and villains were developed through the 1940s, with Superman developing the ability to fly, and costumed villains introduced from 1941.[60] The character was shown as learning of the existence of Krypton in 1949. The concept itself had originally been established to the reader in 1939, in the Superman comic strip.[61]


The 1960s saw the introduction of a second Superman, Kal-L. DC had established a multiverse within the fictional universe its characters shared. This allowed characters published in the 1940s to exist alongside updated counterparts published in the 1960s. This was explained to the reader through the notion that the two groups of characters inhabited parallel Earths. The second Superman was introduced to explain to the reader Superman’s membership of both the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America and the 1960s superhero team the Justice League of America.[62]

The 1980s saw radical revisions of the character. DC Comics decided to remove the multiverse in a bid to simplify its comics line. This led to the rewriting of the back story of the characters DC published, Superman included. John Byrne rewrote Superman, removing many established conventions and characters from continuity, including Superboy and Supergirl. Byrne also re-established Superman’s adoptive parents, The Kents, as characters.[63] In the previous continuity the characters had been written as having died early in Superman’s life (about the time of Clark Kent’s graduation from high school).

The 1990s saw Superman killed by the villain Doomsday,[64] although the character was soon resurrected.[65] Superman also marries Lois Lane in 1996. His origin is again revisited in 2004.[66] In 2006 Superman is stripped of his powers,[67] although these are restored within a fictional year.[68]

Lihat terjemahannya di bawah...

tom welling (ukuran kecil)

Thomas John Patrick Welling (born April 26, 1977) is an American actor, director, and former male fashion model, most famous for playing Clark Kent on the current television series Smallville. Other well-known film roles include Charlie Baker in Cheaper by the Dozen and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and Nick Castle in the 2005 remake of The Fog.

Welling was born in Putnam Valley, New York, the son of a now retired General Motors executive father and a homemaker mother. He has two older sisters, Rebecca and Jamie, and a younger brother, Mark, who is also an actor. His father’s job required frequent relocation, and Welling’s family moved from Putnam Valley, New York to Janesville, Wisconsin, then to Hockessin, Delaware, until finally settling in Okemos, Michigan early in his junior year of high school. Active in several team sports including baseball and basketball, Welling was also a third string soccer goalkeeper. He graduated from Okemos High School in 1995, and then worked in construction while continuing to live with his parents.

In 1998, Welling was discovered by a catalogue camera scout at a party in Nantucket who suggested he try modeling. In 2000, Welling relocated to Los Angeles where he modeled for Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein and other print ad campaigns, while pursuing an acting career. He appeared in some commercials and a music video.[1] Welling’s first major acting role was as karate teacher Rob Meltzer, a younger love interest of Amy Brenneman on the CBS series Judging Amy that aired in 2001. Welling also had a small role in UPN’s Special Unit 2 and also appeared in the debut episode of the FOX sitcom Undeclared. He was cast in series Smallville after a nationwide search for the actor to play Clark Kent. Smallville explored the early years of Clark growing up in the times before he becomes Superman. The Pilot aired in October of 2001 and became the highest rated debut for The WB, with 8.4 million viewers.[2] He told TV Guide that he originally turned down the lead role twice, but after reading the script, decided to take the job. Like Christopher Reeve, he was not a big Superman fan prior to being cast as Clark Kent, and in fact continues not to read Superman comics. He was named one of People magazine’s Breakthrough Stars of 2001 and also won the Teen Choice Award as Choice Breakout Star (Male) in 2002 for his role as Clark.[3] The 100th episode of Smallville aired in January of 2006 and the series has just ended its seventh season.

In December 2003, Welling played Charlie Baker, the oldest son in a family of 12 children in the film Cheaper by the Dozen, a remake of the 1950 original. The film also starred Steve Martin and Hilary Duff. In 2005 Welling appeared in two other films as well. He played Nick Castle in The Fog which was a remake of John Carpenter’s 1980 film. He also reprised his role as Charlie Baker in Cheaper by the Dozen 2. Despite internet rumors, Welling was not considered for the part of Superman in the 2006 film Superman Returns. [4] Welling also marked his directorial debut in 2006, with the season five episode of Smallville, Fragile. He directed a second episode during season six - Hydro and a third episode during the seventh season- Apocalypse. In April 2007, it was reported that Welling had signed on for an 8th season of Smallville. He also played Bizarro and a young Jor-El in Smallville.

Welling married his long time girlfriend Jamie on July 5, 2002, in Martha’s Vineyard, after a four year relationship. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife. During the filming of Smallville, however, he stays in Vancouver. [5]

Thomas John Pactrick Welling (lahir 26 April 1977) adalah aktor Amerika, sutradara, dan bekas model pria, lebih dikenal karena memerankan Clark Kent di serial televisi Smallville. Juga dikenal karena perannya sebagai Charlie Barker di film Cheaper by the Dozen dan Cheaper by the Dozen 2 dan sebagai Nick Castle di film remake tahun 2005 The Fog.

Welling lahir di Putnam Valley, New York, putra dari eksekutif General Motors yang sekarang pensiun dan ibunya adalah seorang ibu rumah tangga. Dia mempunyai dua kakak perempuan, Rebecca dan Jamie, dan seorang adik laki-laki, Mark, yang juga seorang aktor. Pekerjaan ayahnya membuat mereka berpindah-pindah dari Putnam Valley, New York, , ke , lalu Janesville, Wisconsin, kemudian ke Hockessin, Delaware, sampai akhirnya menetap di Okemos, Michigan saat dia mulai menginjak kelas satu SMA. Dia aktif dalam beberapa tim olahraga meliputi baseball dan bola basket. Welling juga kiper lapisan ketiga dalam tim sepakbola. Dia lulus dari Okemos High School di 1995, lalu bekerja di bidang konstruksi sembari tetap tinggal bersama orang tuanya.

Di 1998, Welling ditemukan oleh pencari bakat di sebuah pesta di Nantucket yang menyarankan dia mencoba modelling. Di 2000, Welling pindah ke Los Angeles di mana dia menjadi model untuk Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein dan iklan cetak lain, sembari mengejar karier di bidang akting. Dia muncul dalam beberapa iklan dan video musik.

Welling juga mendapat peran-peran kecil dalam serial UPN Special Unit 2 dan juga tampil dalam episode awal sitkom Undeclared yang ditayangkan FOX. Dia dikasting dalam film serial Smallville setelah pencarian nasional untuk aktor yang akan memerankan Clark Kent. Smallvile menjelajahi tahun-tahun awal dari pertumbuhan Clark sebelum dia menjadi Superman. Pilot-nya ditayangkan pada Oktober 2001 dan mendapat rating tertinggi untuk The WB, dengan penonton sebanyak 8,4 juta. Dia mengaku kepada TV Guide bahwa dia menolak peran utama tersebut dua kali, tapi setelah membaca naskahnya, memutuskan untuk mengambil peran ini. Seperti Christopher Reeve, dia bukanlah penggemar utama Superman sebelum memerankan Clark Kent, dan faktanya berlanjut bahwa dia tidak membaca komik Superman. Dia digelari oleh majalah People dengan gelar Breakthrough Stars of 2001 dan juga memenangkan Teen Choice Award untuk Choice Breakout Star (Male) di 2002 untuk perannya sebagai Clark. Episode keseratus Smallville ditayangkan di Januari 2006 dan season ketujuhnya baru saja berakhir.

Smallville Behind The Scene : Media Lain

Labels: Posted by Tim


Lihat Versi Bahasa Indonesia di bawah

Allison Mack’s character Chloe Sullivan has starred in two promotional tie-in series, Smallville: Chloe Chronicles, and Vengeance Chronicles. There were two volumes of "Chloe Chronicles"; the first featured Chloe investigating the events that lead to the death of Earl Jenkins, who held Chloe and her friends hostage at the LuthorCorp plant in the first season episode "Jitters". Volume one began aired between April 29, 2003 and May 20, 2003, and was exclusive to AOL subscribers. According to Lisa Gregorian, senior vice president, television, Warner Bros. Marketing Services, "Our goal is to create companion programming that offers new and exciting ways to engage the audience, just as music videos did for record promotion."[116] The second volume was a continuation of the first, but with Sam Jones III appearing as Pete Ross. In total, the first two series included seven mini-episodes. It was created after the first volume received a positive response from viewers. This volume utilized the Smallville comic books as a secondary tie-in to the series. Viewers could watch Smallville, then download the latest webisode of Chloe’s Chronicles and finish with a specific issue of the Smallville comic book which would provide an "enhanced backstory to the online segments".[117] Vengeance Chronicles is a spin-off of the fifth season episode "Vengeance". In this series, Chloe joins forces with a costumed vigilante, whom she dubs the "Angel of Vengeance", to expose Lex Luthor’s Level 33.1 experiments on meteor-infected people.

For the season three premiere, the Smallville producers teamed up with Verizon to provide registered users a chance to view plot updates "in the presentation of a press release from The Daily Planet"as well as quizzes and games related to the show. As part of the payment, Verizon products and services were placed in various episodes of the show.[118] In a promotional tie-in with Sprint, Smallville Legends: The Oliver Queen Chronicles was released dictating the early life of Oliver Queen in a six-episode CGI series. According to Lisa Gregorian, Executive Vice President of worldwide marketing at Warner Bros. Television Group, explained that these promotional tie-ins are ways to get fans more connected to the show.[119] On April 19, 2007, a tie-in with Toyota, promoting their new Yaris,[120] featured an online comic strip as interstitial programs, during new episodes of Smallville, titled Smallville Legends: Justice & Doom. The interactive comic was based on the episode "Justice", which follows the adventures of Oliver Queen, Bart Allen, Victor Stone, and Arthur Curry as they seek to destroy all of LuthorCorp’s secret experimental labs. The online series allowed viewers to investigate alongside the fictional team, in an effort to win prizes. Stephan Nilson wrote all five of the episodes, while working with a team of artists for the illustrations. The plot for each comic episode would be given to Nilson as the production crew for Smallville was filming their current television episode. Artist Steve Scott would draw comic book panels, which would be sent to a group called Motherland. That group would review the drawings and tell Scott which images to draw on a separate overlay. This allowed for multiple objects to be moved in an out of the same frame.[121]

In 2008, The CW entered into a partnership with makers of the Stride brand of chewing-gun to give viewers the opportunity to create their own Smallville digital comic. The writers and producers developed the comic’s beginning and end, but are using the viewers to provide the middle. The CW began their tie-in campaign with the March 13, 2008 episode "Hero", where Pete develops superhuman elasticity after chewing some kryptonite-infused Stride gum. Going to The CW’s website, viewers vote on one of two options" each adds four pages to the comic" every Tuesday and Thursday until the campaign officially ends on April 7, 2008.[122] For season seven, Smallville teame-up with Sprint again to bring Sprint customers "mobisodes" featuring Clark’s cousin Kara.[123]

Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar developed an Aquaman pilot for The WB Television Network, with Justin Hartley as Arthur Curry.[124] However, as work progressed on "Aqua", the character was recognized to have potential for his own series,[125] but the episode was never meant to be a backdoor pilot for an Aquaman series.[126] Alan Ritchson was not considered for the role in the new series, because Gough and Millar did not consider it a spin-off from Smallville. Gough said in November 2005, "[The series] is going to be a different version of the ’Aquaman’ legend."[125] Gough did express the idea of a crossover with Smallville at some point.[127] The pilot was considered to have a good chance of being picked up, but when The WB and UPN merged into the CW, the resulting network passed on the show.[128][129][130]




Karakter yang diperankan oleh Allison Mack, Chloe Sullivan telah membintangi dua serial promosi yang saling berkaitan, Smallville : Chloe Chronicles, dan Vengeance Chronicles. Ada dua bagian "Chloe Chronicles"; pertama menampilkan Chloe yang menyelidiki kejadian yang menyebabkan kematian Earl Jenkins,yang terjadi saat Chloe dan teman-temannya di sandera di Pabrik Pupuk LuthorCorp di episode "Jitters" season pertama.

Note : Beberapa teman Smallviller bingung karena beredar gosip tentang adanya Smallville Season 9 dll. Aku juga sempat melihat ada user Youtube yang memasang video dengan judul ’Smallville Season 8 trailer" dan "Smallville Season 9". Tapi itu hanya video buatan mereka sendiri dan sampai sekarang ini Smallville baru akan memasuki season 8. Season 9 belum ada. Bahkan mungkin tidak akan ada (begitu gosipnya). Kemungkinan yang disebut-sebut Smallville season 9 itu Chloe Chronicles seperti yang di atas. BILA TRAILER RESMI SEASON 8 SUDAH DIBUAT, DENGAN SEGERA SAYA AKAN MEMPOSTINGNYA DI BLOG INI. Keep Stay Tune !

Sejarah Superman

Labels: Posted by Tim


Preface
Superman is a fictional comic book superhero widely considered to be one of the most famous and popular of such characters[1] and an American cultural icon.[2][3][4][5] Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book.[2]
The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet’s destruction. Adopted and raised by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent, and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early he started to display superhuman abilities, which upon reaching maturity he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity.
While referred to less flatteringly as "the big blue Boy Scout" by some of his fellow superheroes,[6] Superman is hailed as "The Man of Steel," "The Man of Tomorrow," and "The Last Son of Krypton," by the general public within the comics. As Clark Kent, Superman lives among humans as a "mild-mannered reporter" for the Metropolis newspaper The Daily Planet (the Daily Star in original stories). There he works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically linked. This relationship has been consummated by marriage on numerous occasions across varying media, and the union is now firmly established within the current mainstream comics continuity.
The character’s supporting cast, powers, and trappings have slowly expanded throughout the years. Superman’s backstory was altered to allow for adventures as Superboy, and other survivors of Krypton were created, including Supergirl and Krypto the Superdog. In addition, Superman has been licensed and adapted into a variety of media, from radio to television and film. The motion picture Superman Returns was released in 2006, with a performance at the international box office which exceeded expectations.[7] In the seven decades since Superman’s debut, the character has been revamped and updated several times.

A significant overhaul occurred in 1986, when John Byrne recreated the character, reducing Superman’s powers and erasing several characters from the canon, in a move that attracted media attention. Press coverage was again garnered in the 1990s with The Death of Superman, a storyline which saw the character killed and later restored to life.
Superman has also held fascination for scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character’s impact and role in the United States and the rest of the world. Umberto Eco discussed the mythic qualities of the character in the early 1960s, and Larry Niven has pondered the implications of a sexual relationship the character might enjoy with Lois Lane.[8] The character’s ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of legal ownership. The copyright is again currently in dispute, with changes in copyright law allowing Siegel’s wife and daughter to claim a share of the copyright, a move DC parent company Warner Bros. disputes.
Creations and Conception

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first created a bald telepathic villain bent on dominating the entire world. He appeared in the short story "The Reign of the Super-Man" from Science Fiction #3, a science fiction fanzine that Siegel published in 1933.[9] Siegel re-wrote the character in 1933 as a hero, bearing little or no resemblance to his villainous namesake, and began a six-year quest to find a publisher. Titling it The Superman, Siegel and Shuster offered it to Consolidated Book Publishing, who had published a 48-page black-and-white comic book entitled Detective Dan: Secret Operative No. 48. Although the duo received an encouraging letter, Consolidated never again published comic books. Shuster took this to heart and burned all pages of the story, the cover surviving only because Siegel rescued it from the fire. Siegel and Shuster each compared this character to Slam Bradley, an adventurer the pair had created for Detective Comics #1 (May 1939).[10]
By 1934, the pair had once more re-envisioned the character. He became more of a hero in the mythic tradition, inspired by such characters as Samson and Hercules,[11] who would right the wrongs of Siegel and Shuster’s times, fighting for social justice and against tyranny. It was at this stage the costume was introduced, Siegel later recalling that they created a "kind of costume and let’s give him a big S on his chest, and a cape, make him as colorful as we can and as distinctive as we can."[12] The design was based in part on the costumes worn by characters in outer space settings published in pulp magazines, as well as comic strips such as Flash Gordon,[13] and also partly suggested by the traditional circus strong-man outfit.[12][14] However, the cape has been noted as being markedly different from the Victorian tradition. Gary Engle described it as without "precedent in popular culture" in Superman at Fifty: The Persistence of a Legend.[15] The pants-over-tights outfit was soon established as the basis for many future superhero outfits. This third version of the character was given extraordinary abilities, although this time of a physical nature as opposed to the mental abilities of the villainous Superman.[12]

The locale and the hero’s civilian names were inspired by the movies, Shuster said in 1983. "Jerry created all the names. We were great movie fans, and were inspired a lot by the actors and actresses we saw. As for Clark Kent, he combined the names of Clark Gable and Kent Taylor. And Metropolis, the city in which Superman operated, came from the Fritz Lang movie [Metropolis, 1927], which we both loved".[16]
Although they were by now selling material to comic book publishers, notably Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson’s National Allied Publishing, the pair decided to feature this character in a comic strip format, rather than in the longer comic book story format that was establishing itself at this time. They offered it to both Max Gaines, who passed, and to United Feature Syndicate, who expressed interest initially but finally rejected the strip in a letter dated February 18, 1937. However, in what historian Les Daniels describes as "an incredibly convoluted turn of events", Max Gaines ended up positioning the strip as the lead feature in Wheeler-Nicholson’s new publication, Action Comics. Vin Sullivan, editor of the new book, wrote to the pair requesting that the comic strips be refashioned to suit the comic book format, requesting "eight panels a page". However Siegel and Shuster ignored this, utilizing their own experience and ideas to create page layouts, with Siegel also identifying the image used for the cover of Action Comics #1 (June 1938), Superman’s first appearance.[17]

Pendahuluan
Superman merupakan buku komik fiksi superhero yang secara luas dianggap sebagai salah satu karakter yang terkenal dan populer dan merupakan sebuah ikon Amerika. Diciptakan oleh penulis Amerika Jerry Siegel dan artis ( baca : seniman ) kelahiran Kanada, Joe Shuster di tahun 1932, saat mereka tinggal di Cleveland, Ohio dan di jual untuk Detective Comics, Inc. Pada tahun 1938,karakter ini muncul pertama kali dalam Action Comics # 1(Juni 1938) dan sesudah itu muncul dalam berbagai serial radio, program-program televisi, film-film, kolom surat kabar dan video game. Dengan kesuksesan pertualangannya, Superman menolong menciptakan genre superhero dan membangun keunggulannya di dalam buku komik Amerika.

Cerita asli Superman berkaitan dengan kelahirannya sebagai Kal El di planet Krypton,sebelum di kirim ke bumi saat masih bayi oleh ayahnya yang seorang ilmuwan sebelum planetnya rusak. Diadopsi dan dibesarkan oleh petani Kansas dan istrinya, si kecil tumbuh menjadi Clark Kent, dan dikarunia dengan pedoman moral yang kuat. Di usia mudanya dia mulai menampilkan kekuatan super,yang digunakannya untuk mengatasi masalah kemanusiaan.
Sementara dia dijluki sebagai " Si Pramuka Besar Berkostum Biru"oleh para rekan superheronya, Superman dikenal sebagai "The Man of Steel","The Man of Tommorrow" dan "The Last Son of Krypton," oleh masyarakat di dalam cerita komik. Sebagai Clark Kent, Superman hidup di antara manusia sebagai "reporter berwatak halus" untuk koran Metropolis The Daily Planet (the Daily Star di cerita aslinya). Di sana dia bekerja dengan reporter Lois Lane,yang dengannya dia mempunyai hubungan romantis. Hubungan ini disempurnakan dengan pernikahan dalam sejumlah upacara lintas media, dan persatuan ini sekarang dipertahankan dengan kuat di dalam aliran terbaru di dalam kelanjutan cerita komiknya.
Karakter peran pembantu, kekuatan, dan segala jenis pernak-pernik lain telah secara perlahan dikembangkan tahun demi tahun. Latar belakang cerita Superman diubah untuk membuka pertualangannya sebagai Superboy, dan orang Krypton lain yang selamat diciptakan, termasuk Supergirl, dan Anjing Super Krypto. Sebagai tambahan, Superman telah didaftarkan dan diadaptasi ke dalam berbagai bentuk media, dari radio ke televisi dan film. Film Superman Returns di release di 2006, dengan penampilan box office internasional yang melebihi harapan. Dalam tujuh dekade sejak debutnya, Superman dirubah dan diperbaharui selama beberapa kali.
Pemeriksaan yang sangat teliti terjadi di 1986, saat John Byrne menciptakan ulang karakter, mengurangi kekuatan Superman dan menghapus beberapa karakter dari "aturan", dalam tujuan untuk meraih perhatian media. Pers meliput lagi saat di 1990 muncul The Death of Superman, jalan ceritanya menunjukkan bahwa karakter ini tewas dan kemudian kembali hidup.
Superman juga telah mempesona para sarjana, dengan teori budaya, komentator, dan kritik-kritik seperti menjelajahi dampak karakter ini dan perannya di Amerika Serikat, dan bagian lain dunia. Umberto Eco mendiskusikan kualitas dongeng dari sang tokoh di awal 1960-an dan Larry Niven mempertimbangkan dampak hubungan seksual yang mungkin dimiliki sang tokoh dengan Lois Lane. Kepemilikan sang tokoh telah menjadi topik perdebatan yang sering terjadi, dengan Siegel dan Shuster dua kali menuntut kembali hak kepemilikan legal. Hak cipta adalah hal yang lagi-lagi diperdebatkan, dengan perubahan hukum hak cipta memungkinkan istri Siegel dan puterinya mengklaim pembagian hak cipta, gerakan yang dipertentangkan oleh induk perusahaan DC, Warner Bros.
Sejarah Penciptaan
Jerry Siegel dan Joe Shuster pertama menciptakan penjahat botak dengan kemampuan telepatik yang ahli mendominasi seluruh dunia. Dia muncul dalam cerita singkat "The Reign of Super-Man"dari Science Fiction #3, majalah pengetahuan fiksi yang diterbitkan Siegel di 1933. Siegel menulis ulang karakter ini di 1933 sebagai pahlawan, mempertegas sedikit akan tidak ada kemiripan dengan kekejiannya terdahulu, dan selama enam tahun melakukan pencarian untuk menemukan penerbit. Menamai karakter itu The Supeman, Siegel dan Shuster menawarkannya kepada Consolidated Book Publishing, yang telah menerbitkan buku komik hitam putih sebanyak 48 halaman berjudul Detective Dan : Secret Operative No. 48. Walaupun duo ini menerima surat yang memberi semangat, Consolidated tidak pernah menerbitkan buku komik lagi. Shuster memasukkan hal ini dalam hati dan membakar semua halaman cerita tersebut, cover buku ini selamat hanya karena Siegel menyelamatkannya dari api. Siegel dan Shuster masing-masing membandingkannya dengan karakter Sam Bradley, sebuah petualangan yang diciptakan sang pasangan untuk Detective Comics #1 (Mei 1939).
Di tahun 1934, pasangan itu sekali lagi memimpikan karakter ini. Dia menjadi lebih dari sekedar pahlawan dalam tradisi dongeng, terinspirasi dari karakter semacam Samson dan Hercules,yang akan mengoreksi hal salah dalam zaman Siegel dan Shuster, bertarung untuk keadilan sosial dan melawan tirani. Ini adalah tahap dimana kostumnya dibuat, Siegel kemudian menyebut kembali bahwa mereka menciptakan "semacam kostum dan membiarkan karakter ini mempunyai logo S besar di dadanya, dan sebuah jubah, membuat dia berwarna dan spesial sejauh yang kami bisa". Desain ini didasarkan bagian pada kostum yang dipakai oleh karakter dalam setting luar angkasa yang diterbitkan dalam majalah murahan, seperti komik strip Flash Gordon, dan pakaian yang dipakai oleh orang-orang sirkus. Akan tetapi,jubahnya telah dibuat berbeda dengan gaya Victoria. Gary Engle menggambarkannya sebagai tanpa" bisa diteladani dalam budaya populer" dalam Superman at Fifty : The Persistence of a Legend. Pakaian dengan celana ketat dengan segera menjadi contoh untuk pakaian para superhero di masa mendatang. Versi ketiga dari karakter ini di berikan kekuatan luar biasa, walaupun di waktu itu adalah waktu yang secara fisik berlawanan dengan kemampuan mental dari Superman yang jahat.
Nama samaran sang superhero terinspirasi dari film, Shuster mengatakan di 1983," Jerry menciptakan segala macam nama. Kami adalah penggemar berat film, dan terinspirasi dari banyak aktor dan aktris yang kami lihat. Seperti Clark Kent, dia adalah kombinasi dari nama Clark Gable dan Kent Taylor. Dan Metropolis, kota dimana Superman bekerja, datang dari film Fritz Lang (Metropolis,1927), yang kami berdua sukai."
Walaupun mereka sekarang menjual materi kepada penerbit komik, khususnya National Alloed Publishing milik Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, pasangan ini memutuskan untuk menampilkan karakter ini dalam format strip komik, daripada format cerita buku komik yang panjang yang saat itu marak. Mereka menawarkannya baik kepada Max Gaines, yang menolak, dan kepada United Feature Syndicate, yang menunjukkan ketertarikan tetapi akhirnya menolak strip ini dalam surat bertanggal 18 Februari 1937. Akan tetapi, dalam apa yang sejarawan Les Daniels gambarkan sebagai " putaran kejadian sulit yang sukar dipercaya", Max Gaines memakai strip ini sebagai feature utama dalam penerbitan baru milik Wheelere-Nicholson, Action Comics. Vin Sullivan, editor buku baru itu,menulis kepada pasangan ini permintaan supaya merubah formatnya menjadi format buku komik, meminta " halaman delapan panel" Akan tetapi, Siegel dan Shsuter mengabaikan ini,memanfaatkan pengalaman dan ide mereka sendiri untuk menciptakan layout halaman, dengan Siegel juga mengambil ciri gambar yang digunakan sebagai cover Action Comics #1(Juni 1938), penampilan pertama Superman.

Jordan Levin, presiden divisientertaimen The WB, menangkap kritik mengenai hal ini. Levis mengumumkan bahwa di season dua akan terlihat “ cerita mini sebanyak tiga atau empat episode, untuk keluar dari formula struktur gaya cerita yang kami dimasukkan ke dalamnya..Kami tidak mau menjadi pertunjukkan bersambung.” Smallville season pertama masuk dalam urutan keenam daftar Parent Television Council’s untuk pertunjukkan terbaik untuk keluarga.

Reception

Smallville’s first accomplishment was breaking the record for highest rated debut for The WB, with 8.4 million viewers tuning in for its pilot.[4] A common criticism for the first season was the use of "villain of the week" storylines. By the time the first seven episodes aired, at least one journalist had had enough; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Rob Owen stated, "Smallville flies high with super character interaction and a nice performance by John Schneider as Pa Kent, but the series needs better plots than the "monster of the week" stories seen so far."[84] Jordan Levin, president of The WB’s Entertainment division, recognized the concerns that the show had become a villain-of-the-week series. Levin announced that season two would see more "smaller mini-arcs over three to four episodes, to get away from some of the formulaic storytelling structure we were getting ourselves boxed into... We don’t want to turn it into a serialized show."[85] Smallville’s first season placed sixth on the Parents Television Council’s list of the "best shows for families".[86]

On January 24, 2006, it was confirmed Smallville would be part of the new The CW’s Fall 2006-2007 lineup once The WB and UPN ceased separate operations and merged as The CW in September 2006.[1]
