   The show returns on 28th January, 2011 after it's fall break.Icarus which served as the last episde to air in 2010 really left us with a cliffhanger and the death of a hero and the defeat of a villain.
    I'll write a shorter review of the episode here then and in the end a little sneak peek of what's to come in the new year.So Clark made a big step and finally proposed Lois at the phone booth where they "first met", well where Lois first spoke to the Blur.She said yes and they held an engagement party at the Watchtower with the presens of Tess,Emil Oliver, Courtney(Stargirl) and Cartel Hall(Hawkman).The party surprisingly goes well but later at night Oliver,Cartel and Courtney are attacked by random people who all wear a tattoo,the Omega tatto which is the symbol of the darkness.Cartel reveals that this darkness was several times on Earth during the centuries and he played a key role to defeat it everytime and described his presence as a "bright litgh" that pushed the darkness away. As revealed, Cartel is like three thousand years old.Althou later Tess,Lois and Emil are brought in for their relation to the 'terrorists', Cartel,Oliver and Clark broke into the general's office who turned out to be a ressuracted Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke and found files on his computer titled "Project Icarus" which reflects that the highter the heroes try to reach the greater their fall will be.As Hawkman faces off against Dethstroke to save Lois, Hawkman is mortally wounded and after saving Lois, he dies meanwhile Clark uses the House of El item to transport Slade into the phantom zone where he won't hurt anyone ever again.As the team gather together in Egypt to say a last goodbye to their true friend where they want to burry him ,a shinny little pyramid emerges from the tomb causing a bright flash of light knocking everybody out unconscious.
