Smallville news -- and much more!

THE BATMAN'S NIGHTWING

Warner Bros. Animation has provided The Continuum a first image of Nightwing and Batman from an upcoming episode of Kids' WB!'s The Batman.

Jerry O'Connell is providing the voice of Nightwing in the upcoming "Artifacts." The episode isn't scheduled yet, but will likely be the next new one broadcast.

Here's how "Artifacts" is described:

"One thousand years into the future Gotham City is terrorized by a dangerous villain from its past. Can the city defend itself from such a threat without the Batman?"

Warner Bros. Animation also confirmed the following guest-voices for The Batman:

* Brooke Shields as Julie, the Riddler's girlfriend in "Riddler's Revenge."

* Louis Gossett Jr. as Lucius Fox.

* Dorian Harewood as Martian Manhunter in the two-part "The Joining."
