I’m not a “Smallville” fan - tried watching it seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4, regretted it each time - but this is still interesting. Sprint and Warner Brothers have announced that they’re developing an animated spin-off for Sprint’s wireless network featuring Smallville’s version of the Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) character. I’ve been told that this season’s Justice League Junior storyline has been good, but then again, I was told that the show was good pretty much every season so far. Still, I’ll give this stuff a look when it inevitably shows up online.

Smallville Legends: The Oliver Queen Chronicles, a six-episode animated wireless series created for the mobile and broadband environment, will premiere Thursday, January 18, exclusively on the Sprint TVSM mobile video service. A new episode will launch on subsequent Thursdays and remain exclusive to Sprint for the six-week duration of the series. After Sprint’s exclusive window, the entire wireless animated series will be available for streaming at http://www.cwtv.com/, the online home of The CW Network, beginning February 22. The initiative marks the first time Warner Bros. and The CW have created original animated content as a marketing platform to help drive tune-in for the Smallville television series.
