What Christopher Nolan did for the limping Batman films, the WB-cum-CW pulled
off (most of the time, anyway) on the small screen with what could have
initially been called "Smallville, 90210." At its best, the Lex Luthor we saw
here put both Gene Hackman and Kevin ... moreSpacey's Luthors combined to shame, and at
its worst, well, Clark was crying tears over Lana that should have flooded all
of Kansas.
