Is it just me or does the Superman from Superman Earth One look a lot like Tom Welling?
No Davis has always drawn his Superman to resemble Routh. A good source of that is Superman/Batman "The Search for Kryptonite". And other drawings he has done of him.Is it just me or does the Superman from Superman Earth One look a lot like Tom Welling?
Same here. From the day MoS was announced, I was determined to hate it because of how much I loved SV and Welling. But the more I see from it, the more excited I get. I hope to enjoy it much more than I did when they rebooted Spider-Man, since I was just as big of a fan of those movies.I guess Dr. Emil Hamilton from Smallville is also in the new Man of Steel. As excited as I am for this movie, I still really miss Smallville.

And as good as Cavill looks in the role, Welling will always be my ideal vision of Superman.

umm, you do know Dr. Hamilton's character long predates the dude from Smallville right?
Apart from the addition of a version of Lionel Luthor to Lex's back story (and to be fair that Lionel was less than a bit player, he was just a footnote in Lex's past), and some minor cosmetic changes, I really haven't seen any major influence that Smallville had on the DCU since before the New 52 through to today. The comics version of Chloe Sullivan was hyped up as Jimmy's "girlfriend" and then she disappeared as quickly as she appeared, and after that... nothing. There was very little that Smallville did, that hadn't already been done elsewhere, probably a bit better. So no, Smallville's influence, beyond keeping the characters in the public eye, wasn't that significant
After seeing the latest excellent Man of Steel trailer, and reading some of the plot synopsis, it seems that this version of Supes is also a bit of a "late bloomer" and struggles into adulthood coming to grips with who and what he is.
Remember Smallville getting flack for this approach a decade ago?
Looks like the show influenced way more than just the de-aging of the Kents.
