Last season, Clark Kent and Lex Luthor became sworn enemies and Clark discovered more about his home planet, who his parents were, what his future holds and why he was sent to Earth. In season eight, Clark Kent is now reporter at the Daily Planet who shares a workspace with Lois Lane. And there's a new hero in Metropolis — a hero everyone now calls the Red-Blue Blur.

When Clark's cousin Kara arrives on the scene, Clark advises her to keep a low profile and master her powers, but Kara has other ideas and becomes the focus of Lex Luthor's powerlust. And, there are two Clark Kents: one is the young man whose life in a tiny Kansas town sets him on destiny's path. The other is a Bizarro who shares Clark's DNA, but not his values. Lane makes a career leap and Chloe Sullivan finds that balancing a meteor power with a personal life isn't easy.

Clark Kent will have plenty of reasons to remember his senior year! Lois Lane — smart, opinionated, and entirely annoying to Clark — arrives in Smallville to investigate the death of her cousin. Lana gets a new older boyfriend. Clark decides to go against his parents' wishes and joins the football team as a quarterback. And while Clark sets off on a quest to find three mysterious Kryptonian crystals, Lex steps further from the light into darkness.
