Smallville is officaly an elseworld story . So it doesn't fit in with any of the real cannon of the comic .
As for superman well .
Back a long time ago pre 1985 there was a multiverse . many diffrent earths with diffrent heros in each earth . For example on earth x world war 2 was going on for almost 50 years and america was still fighting hitler . Then there was superman from earth 2 who was basicly the clasic superman he was kal-l and had the more cartoonish s on his chest (the old school one) on earth 1 is the current superman .
Then crisis on infinite earths happened and we have 1 earth where many heros are gone or merged into a new history. big things are that both clarks parents are still married. He is called kal-el. Supergirl never came to earth (well she recently did 2 years ago ) and well alot of small diffrences
The problem was that the history wasn't rewriten at the end of the series . They were going to rebuild it slowly . But it didn't work. That is why you got things like zero hour ( a quick fix to the problems) or powergirl with no real origin .
But now dc is doing the crisis . t just started about 2 weeks ago (though therei s alot of series to pick up to get thewhole story) and well its going to fix many of the problems that exists .
Superman / batman / wonder woman are all fighting and The original superman from earth 2 , superboy from earth 5 and alex luthor son of lex luthor from earth 3 has left the paradise they were in since the end of crisis to step in and save all of time .
So um yea. If u guys want superman info just ask.
