Clark won't fly to Krypton to stop brainiac, most likely he'll travel through a portal or get there somehow with help or advice from Jor-El. As far as Clark not flying, personally i think it's ridiculous now. The whole legality and no flight rule has been broken for a long time. No one has the rights to say what special effects you can use, personally i think the producers used that as a personal rule, they probably didn't want Smallville to end up being like the old tv series, Lois and Clark. Since Smallville is the progression of Clak Kent discovering who he is, what his destiny is, and how he progresses into becoming Superman.
I do believe they will stay away from the tights rule (again keeping away from the Lois and Clark image), but as for flying, well Clark has already flew. Who cares if he was Kal-El, it was still Tom Welling, as Clark Kent flying...and technically he is Kal-El and always will be, only difference is all his inabitions were let loose, and he had the mindset of a true Kryptonian less human charactertics...all in all he did fly, and they made it look pretty good considering that was a few years ago.
He doesn't have to suit up, but really they could come up with a storyline where Ollie (green arrow) makes Clark a suit....it could be all black with no cape, with the S in the middle, or even the 8 sign to represent the house of EL...they've already used symbolics to the standard S in the triangle shape, so i'm sure it would be ok to put it on a suit. They could make it look like the batman suit, like in Batman begins...not tights, but more like slightly thicker leather or some other material, something that looks cool like the batman suit in Batman begins...no cape, maybe a mask to cover just his eyes, like the one he wore when he dressed up as the Green Arrow...Smallville could come up with there own suit, make it more Kryptonian like, that way they'd have the rights to the design...it would be like Kal-El dressed in black, except this time Clark would have cool looking gear to put on when he's out saving the world....I think in the comics, when superman revived after the doomsday series, he came back in a black suit, with a silver or white crest of the "S" symbol, i think those were more like tights, but I'm thinking maybe Smallville could take something like that and create something good from it.
Personally others have flow, sure Clark has mastered his other abiliities, heat vision in particularily (showing Kara how to control her hearing, heat vision-carved a face on the melon, used microscopic heatvision to find the tracking device in chloe, used intense heatvision to stop the crapload of water that was coming towards the son/father when the dam was destroyed, as well as his contol with heatvision to warm up jimmy/lois), strength has been shown, and clark knows the sun makes him even stronger, surely he has no fear of flights, he jumped on a rocket and fell from space). I think it's just timing that they have him fly, but showing float or having landing control when he jumps would be ideal, or something builds up to him realizing he can fly if he focuses or truely grasps his Kryptonian abilities, and stops holding back from realizing his destiny.
I'm not sure if Lois and Clark was produced by DC comics or waht, but they got away with using the whole Superman image...maybe Smallville doesn't have the rights to have Clark in the superman suit, doesn't mean they can't have him in a suit of there own, even if in the last episode, we just see Clark ripping his shirt open displaying the typical superman suit...we don't see him actually in it but it would give the audience the impression that Clark has completed his training and fully grasped his kryptonian herritage, and destiny....no need to see Tom welling in the full fledged superman outfit, but i'm sure it's just a matter of time before we see flight, they know it's what the audience has been waiting for, i don't think it's a matter of IF they'll do it, I think it's a matter of WHEN they'll do it....they'll build up to it, and hopefully use some good CGI and budget to make it look even better than they did a few years ago (which was good in my opinion), and worthwhile for the viewers to wait for this to happen.
