He not only did Green Arrow for DC, but he did several pieces for Marvel Comics. His Daredevil: Guardian Devil was incredible, and not at all like his work on Clerks (though I do love that too) for example.

I stopped watching the show halfway through when I realized that it wasn't going to become anything more than a cheesy rehash of comic cliches that were better done elsewhere. He doesn't have the range and certainly lacks the visual talent to get away with "Battlestar" though. Here's hoping that the deal falls through or his directorial effort for the show is heavily supervised by Moore or Eick or someone. “Heroes” I can see.

But seriously, as stated earlier, Kevin has some serious roots in comic culture, which are some of the influences of both Battlestar and Heroes, so he should excel with both. Is this a product of someone being pleased with the Reaper pilot? What’s a nitche?

But I think the commenters above that are worried you're going to see a "Clerks in Space" aren't quite aware of Kevin Smith's interests (Smith is a huge Comic and Science Fiction geek) and other creative output. Beyond the New Jersey movies, Kevin wrote an amazing script for a Superman movie, one that was ultimately scrapped because Tim Robbins wanted something "darker" and more like the Batman movies he had directed. Kevin has also written for DC comics, with a superb run on Green Arrow. He's far from the one-dimensional writer/director. Between this and his comments above, I'm expecting we will see some great episodes of both shows.

He's been given governance over a precious gift, and I hope to the idea of a god that he's able to restrain himself and create pieces that can exist within the cannons of the respective shows, instead of episodes we all write off as novelties to boost viewership, only to be ultimately ignored later in the season. Point being, I hope he seeks outside perspectives and scraps several drafts before committing anything to production.
