and then this
I'm keeping my expectations low for his appearance.
and then this
Smallville ended so long ago, I mentally and emotionally separated myself from it. So whatever occurs during crisis won't affect me too much.
I think most of us are.I'm keeping my expectations low for his appearance.
Since I have no desire to constantly bring up this topic in the general Crisis thread, I'll mention this here again...
I'm honestly worried that they're planning on not only killing Tom's Clark but erasing Smallville's canon from existence from this event. Honestly, for better or for worse, I was happy with the final shot of Tom that we got as Clark Kent as he ripped his shirt open to reveal the superman suit underneath in the series finale. So the idea that Tom's FINAL scene as Clark Kent will be him getting erased from existence is just very troubling for me as a fan of this show.
Not only does it go against the established canon that Earth is fine and well a century after Clark's heroics (via the Legion of Superheroes) but it spits in the faces of every Smallvile fan who invested a decade of their precious time into show so that they could see Clark Kent mature into the Man of Steel. Now you're telling me there's a chance that all of this would have been for nothing? That one scene can erase all of that?
If SV Earth isn't destroyed, then Clark Kent cam make another guest appearance in some CW show down the line, that is if Tom Welling is ready to do that again.So uh
SV Clark is confronted by Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) and when he wont reveal his identity to him, Luthor takes out green kryptonite and it has no effect on Clark. Luthor is in disbelief. Basically demeans him for choosing to be "mediocre" and then leaves. Lois then shows up and asks Clark if there was someone there or if he was "talking to the cats again."
Apparently SV Clark gave up his powers voluntarily to have children with Lois. Two girls are mentioned in the scene between Tom and Erica.
Honestly it was cool to see them and I'm glad they took part in this and the SV Earth wasnt wiped away in the Crisis but Clark giving up his powers and not continuing as Superman really contradicts the canon of Smallville where Clark was known as being Superman well into the future by the Legion and others he interacted with from the future.
I's assuming he wont show up again and this wont be resolved later in the crossover? Unless he's going to pull a Superman 2 move and get his powers back.
