Tom Welling To Reprise ‘Smallville’ Clark Kent Role In Arrowverse Crossover On the CW UPDATE 2: Rosenbaum passes on appearance
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
Gawd I hope there's an animated segment
Seems like a love letter to all things DC
It has it's fans. It's a weird show though. I remember parts of it being really cool and others being really campy or cringy. It wasn't solidly in either though which was a problem from what I recall. I remember liking it at the time and was disappointed it only lasted a single season. Can't lie though Ashley Scott was a big part of why I kept watching.
I am really happy they're pulling in so many shows. I never considered they'd give this show representation though.

The Clark and Lex relationship and how it devolved is perhaps the best thing that came out of Smallville and it's largely in part because of these two actors. The fact that it's Clark that puts the dirt on that grave and Lex just walks shows how crazy that relationship changed. Not just Clar/Lex but with Lionel as well when you look back on season 1. The show meandered in the middle but the character arcs that were able to play out over those 10 seasons was great I feel.
Lionel's redemption is one of the best things about Smallville. That guy was pure evil and passed it onto Lex. Clark was able to "save" the father but not the son. Glover is such a good actor.
I can't contain my excitement. Check it out!!
This is a little disappointing to me as I was hoping he would be playing the Returns version of Superman that we already know.
While I don't disagree entirely, it allows Routh to define the character as he wants to play him...as opposed to having to mimic Reeves' performance. I'm very interested to see his new take.
I am just happy my thread is mostly coming true
On my rewatch of Smallville(nearly done with S1) other than absolutely atrocious cg im enjoying it more than I have the last few seasons of certain Arrowverse shows.
Feels like there are loads more setpieces than we ever get anymore.

Umm don't know where you've been but the Chloe actress Allison Mack was in a sex cult and convicted, so don't think she'll be working any time soon...
She was arrested in Brooklyn by the FBI on April 20, 2018, on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced laborconspiracy in relation to her role in the NXIVMorganization. Mack pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in April 2019, and is currently awaiting sentencing in September 2019.
Because the Arrowverse already has a million characters including a Lex Luthor. They are just trying a neat way to honor history, like how last time they brought back 90s Flash.
I just realized, given how smallville ended it doesn't make sense for Rosenbaum to have a huge role. He forgot who Clark was basically so what would his interactions with anybody even be. There would be no barn face to face dialogues etc
That and it sounds like he'd be, at best, a few lines cameo.
Whereas Welling is absolutely going to get at least one scene with Routh and the Arrowverse Superman. There's no way they aren't rolling with three Superman on screen at the same time.
It just came out at the wrong time.
It was still 3-4 years before Batman Begins pulled Batman out of the Batman and Robin slump.
It also was more based on the Burton world that had basically been gone for 10 years at that point.
Honestly had that come out after Begins it probably would have gotten a decent run.
Hell it feels like a alpha version of what the Batwoman series is looking to be.
Me too :'( hope they at least get Lionel he was one of my favourite things about smallville
Glover was on EVERYTHING. His IMDB page is crazy.
He must be a fantastic person to work with.
Good lord no. BvS Doomsday build up is short and the fight is sorta fun to watch. Smallville Doomsday took a whole season of build ups only for it to die in 20 second of "fight" ---- if you can call it that.
Im actually starting to think Tom won't have a Superman suit.
When they shut Cosmic Book News down on Twitter who claimed they had this scoop this summer they responded saying this deal didn't even happen until like Friday.
With filming starting and us seeing the Kingdom Come suit now(considering Routh was a current actor on this and had his measurements)
How can they confirm an actor, measure him up, have put enough time into a design for it to maybe not even happen at all and then fabricate it/them so quickly.

he probably looks like crap in a costume anyways
everyone drew him too skinny and short in the season 11 comic.
prove me wrong tom

Said the same in the other thread. No chance he suits up and it's obvious by how he's cast as "Clark Kent" and not as "Superman" like Routh is that it's not even in consideration.
Hell, I'd be surprised if he even flies. The Blur is back, people.
Making him a suit wouldn't take that long, it's not like they're going to need months of "R&D" and millions of dollars to fund a dozen different version before they have one that the committee approves, it'd basically be a version of the suits they've already created fitted to Welling, probably based off the Smallville S11 comic design, it wouldn't require a ton of time to make.
It's been a while and now I'm wondering if it's still on CW Seed but from what I remember it had a good deal of the 90s style cheese that syndicated TV series had and stole Ashley Scott away from Dark Angel which holds up better, at least the first season does since the second kind of went to shit due to last minute changes and we're now in Dark Angel's present or at least when it started. Still haven't caught up to their police drones and stuff like that... Yet, thankfully.
Like I said, Tom's Superman is the one incarnation that actually suits the jeans and t-shirt look.
I think I mentioned Welling being older than Routh already but just wondering if anyone has taken the time to appreciate that it's kind of funny that Smallville's Clark is actually going to be the youngest of the three versions despite Tom Welling being the oldest of the three actors, by a decade when it comes to Tyler Hoechlin. Welling's version at this point would only be like 32 years old while Hoechlin's is in his mid-late 30s and of course Routh's is like in his late 60s or early 70s.
He's canonically in a suit at the end of Smallville despite the tricks they used to avoid him actually wearing it. I think he might be over his hang up on not wearing it, especially again since he doesn't need to wear the trunks.
Wrestler dressed and made up like Doomsday is better than Lord of the Rings's troll.

I hadn't considered just how much of a size difference there actually is until that pic, lol. He really does tower one them and is wide.
It's especially funny any time you see Welling paired up with Tom Ellis in Lucifer. Ellis is this tower of a man and Welling is still almost able to stare him eye to eye.
