As The WB’s drama “Smallville” prepares to welcome the character of Lois Lane into its mythology, the most popular and familiar Lois Lane is ready to make a cameo. Margot Kidder, co-star of the last four “Superman” movies, is taking flight to The WB to visit with Tom Welling’s kryptonite-hating superhero.

Kidder will play Bridgette Crosby, emissary to Dr. Swann, a cute twist, since Swann has been played by Kidder’s big screen super-love Christopher Reeve.

The character will first appear in the show’s season premiere on Sept. 22 and will return for the sixth episode.

Coincidentally, the season premiere will also feature the first appearance by Erica Durance as Lois Lane.
