After watching Smallville for several years thinking that Clark Kent will one day become superman as we would expect, it seems like you thought wrong. from what i read in an article that it seems that superman will not make a guess appearance on Smallville anytime soon.

It was known from the very beginning that we would never see Clark Kent wear the "Superman" outfit during the entire run of Smallville.

I think i rememeber reading at the start of the show that he would never even conciously (SP) fly. so far he has made flight like jumps and stuff but he has never just flown has he?

I read that also, bats & Pez. I think that it was right before the show started where Grough gave an interview to one of the entertainment rags, and he said that the only time that you might see Clark in the cape and flying would be in the very last scene of the series.
