Smallville

[mdn2]

Of which 190 are really bad. I liked Smallville, but I spent the whole show waiting for him to put on the suit. And then they fucked that. I don't think I could bring myself to go through it again outside of the Christopher Reeves episodes.

As someone who watched Smallville for the whole ten years or whatever it was on, I would advise people not to watch Smallville.

Well I'm going to have to watch Crisis now with all the bloody other Superman's in there.

Every now and then I'll watch a "Clark's secret" compilation on youtube. Aah that's the stuff.

 

Sure they cheated with a few magical fake-outs over the years, but this show was amazingly patient with doling those out.

This is clearly old news, but I just read that Tom Welling is (or may be) reprising his Smallville role in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Is anyone planning to re-watch Smallville in preparation for the event? I have to admit that I have fond memories of the show, even though the writing and low budget made it tortuous to watch (and the Allison Mack situation is still a bit weird).

 

Looks like Rosenbaum is coming back.

He's always said he was up for an Arrowverse guest run if it was a substantial arc, but surely that's a poker face tweet. You wouldn't want to be the spoil sport for the sake of a days work probably catching up with old crew mates. Still plenty of room down the line for him to make a proper appearance as whoever because comics.

So, it's confirmed Welling is reprising the role for the arrowverse Crisis mini series event in December. Not a bad casting coup. Be fun if they got Hartley back as Smallville Green Arrow as well.

Might we actually see him in the suit finally?

The press release does make a point of seeing him as Clark Kent 10 years on.  I'm guessing he'll skip the suit once again. Hopefully I'm wrong, it would be fun to finally see him suited up.

multiverse? he could just as easily be a Clark Kent who ISN'T Superman...

If he doesn't do a tedious slow motion scene then I'm out.

 

Other than that I'm looking forward to seeing his two facial expressions again.

Erica Durance is also reprising her role as Lois Lane. 

 

I'm just thankful we don't get Lana Lang.

Or the weird cult one, I suppose.

I would have thought Rosenbaum would do it for free as he needs the exposure. Despite rave reviews for his portrayal of LL his career didn't go anywhere. I've never seen him in anything else

[makkuwata]

He’s doing the Kevin Smith thing of professional podcasting and living his best life.

 

People like that could make an honest living on the convention circuit for the rest of their lives.

Nah. Whenever possible, anyone offering to ‘pay you with publicity’ should be told to fuck off. Thankfully, it sounds like he’s built enough of a life for himself to be able to do just that.

He was in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol2. And does a good amount of voice work for animated stuff. And as someone also mentioned he has a very good podcast called Inside of You. 

 

Just because he's not in every big AAA movie or TV event doesn't mean the man ain't working.
