WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2007COMING THURSDAYBatman news -- and much more!!!
The CW has released 10 images from "Crimson," the Thursday, Feb. 1 episode of Smallville.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"After Lois (Erica Durance) tries on lipstick made with red kryptonite, she becomes overwhelmed with desire for Clark (Tom Welling) and makes her move. The two share a kiss, transferring the red kryptonite to Clark and his inhibitions immediately shut down causing 'bad-Clark' to emerge. Fueled by the red rock, Clark decides to break up Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Lana's (Kristin Kreuk) wedding dinner and kidnap the bride-to-be."
The episode was written by Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders and directed by Glen Winter.
