Notes[]
- For the first time, there are two show openings. Allison Mack is only featured in the credits of the episodes she appears in and another version of the opening credits plays during the other episodes. For the sake of clarity, the opening credits in the above list will be entitled as follows:
- A = the primarily used opening without Allison
- B = the opening with Allison
- Chloe appears in the opening credits of only seven episodes: Lazarus, Collateral, Beacon, Masquerade, Fortune, Finale, Part 1, and Finale, Part 2. She was not credited for her stock footage appearances in Supergirl or Homecoming (the former was originally part of Lazarus), her appearance in Shield via a never-before-seen photo of her, or for her appearance in Icarus, even though the footage was never-before-seen cutting room floor material from Lazarus. Allison Mack was only contracted for five episodes, which did not include the use of old material from previous seasons or deleted scenes being re-tooled for use in future episodes (i.e. Icarus), and later agreed to come back for the finale episodes.
- The opening features many clips from previous seasons as a tribute to Smallville's final season, however it does not feature any clips from Season Two, Season Seven, or Season Eight.
- Tom Welling and Allison Mack are featured in every season's opening credits and are the only cast members to appear as series regulars for the show's entirety.
- This is the first season since Season One in which all opening credit characters are protagonists. Lionel Luthor was the credited antagonist for season 2 and season 3. Jason Teague was the credited antagonist for season 4. Lex Luthor was the credited antagonist for seasons 5-7. Tess Mercer and Davis Bloome were both credited antagonists for season 8. Tess Mercer and Major Zod were both credited antagonists for season 9. There are no credited antagonists for season 10.
- Allison Mack was moved from her second billing position to the final billing position. The 'and - name of actor' method of billing has not been used since Season Seven, in which John Glover was last.
- Erica Durance receives second billing for the first time after receiving fourth in Season Five and Season Six, fifth in Season Seven, and third in Season Eight and Season Nine.
- Allison Mack's headshot appears as it originally did in Season Five, Season Six and Season Seven in its darkened state as the exposure effect used in Season Eight and Season Nine to brighten the image is not applied.
