    The single greatest line ever written by an American TV censor appears at 0:31 of the Wonder Twins clip. Just say no, kiddies.

    I have never watched so much as 1 minute of Smallville, no matter now many people tell me I should. I am going to be all over any Zan and Jayna episodes!

    Wondertwin powers- ACTIVATE!

    I'm serious, I want the Wondertwins to get their own series or movie. The rest of the justice league can bite me, especially Superman, who may as well be Aquaman for all I care.

    On another note, i once got a "LoL" post from Gail Simone on a message board when i made a joke about the Wonder Twins also being the nickname for Wonder Woman's chest

    Justice league unlimited did a pretty good job of making the wonder twins a credible threat to the jl; not having anyone refer to them as the wonder twins helped a lot with this

    I like the young actress from Warehouse 13, sorry she has to be on this show. Oh well, a paycheck is always great. Now here's my idea...

    Zan and Jayna are imprisoned in an airtight unbreakable room. He becomes a roomful of water and she, an orca to bash the door open. But it's, duh, unbreakable and Zan is filling all the room so Jayna drowns. Gleep, who has been doing something absolutely hysterical downstairs finally shows up and pushes the big green "open" button.

    Too late! Zan has been driven mad with despair and sloshes screaming into the night. For months afterward a smallish tsunami stalks the alleys of Metropolis with a decaying whale corpse inside it. The insane fluid tries killing all the blue monkeys it can find. Or anyone who resembles a blue monkey, or says the words, "monkey" or "blue".
    Mostly it wants to kill Tom Welling and the producers of Smallville.

    @Grey_Area: Sadly, she would just turn into some kind of fish. But then the akward level would rise as they realize that she's been breathing her own brother... *taking him into herself*.

    Eventually when Gleep shows up, they are both so embarased and ashamed that they never talk to each other again.

    As I said on Topless Robot:

    So, lemme get this straight: in nine seasons, in which they stretch this "no flight, no tights" rule beyond all ridiculousness, they can't find a way to make the one cameo everybody wanted to see, namely, Bruce Wayne, but they can add in every other two-bit character (Hello, Zatanna!) and now THE FUCKING WONDER TWINS?

    AHH HAA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

    @TemporalSword: Exactly! I've been crying about a Bruce Wayne cameo since Season 4... the only reason I can come up with is that DC/Warner wants to reserve the right for future productions.

    Maybe a young Batman/Bruce Wayne syndicated series... who knows.

    @TemporalSword: There was a character in season 3 played by Ian Somerhalder, yes Boone from Lost, who was originally intended to be Bruce Wayne. He went by the name Adam Knight and everything. He constantly wore black and yellow, and his storyline was very much leading up to a reveal. But TPTB at Warner Bros. wouldn't let Smallville use Bruce Wayne because they didn't want to confuse anyone when Batman Begins was released. So at the semi-last minute they turned him into some kind of zombie.

    Warner has been putting the smackdown on having Bruce on the show forever. Smallville itself came out of a pitch for an Adventures of Young Bruce Wayne series.

    @modernboy: You want to know why? Because Warners has *watched* Smallville. I wouldn't let them touch Bruce Wayne, either, and get their hack cooties all over him.

    I cant believe people dont love the absurd campiness of the Wonder Twins as much as I do. I guess I'll continue alone in my love for Smallville. :(
