STAR World launches Smallville

STAR World has launched a new series Smallville, based on superheroes. This series revolves around the transition of a super hero - Clark Kent - from boyhood to adulthood, when he becomes Superman. The series looks at how the young Superman deals with his emerging superpowers and the effects of Kryptonite, while battling the strange things that have plagued this idyllic midwest hamlet since the meteorite shower.

This new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series.

The series would be aired every Thursday at 8 pm from August 12 onwards. With realistic portrayals and state-of-the-art special effects, Smallville reinterprets the Superman mythology from its roots.
