Here are three of the main excerpts from the report over at TV Line. To read a further five questions answered by executive producer Kelly Souders, click on the link below to head on over to the site.
Did the fact that Zack Snyder’s Superman movie is now cast and nearing production hamstring Smallville at all, as far as what can and can’t be shown in the finale?
Whereas in the past, the Brandon Routh Superman film, for example, led to early limitations on how much Smallville could use the character of Lois, the Man of Steel’s latest big-screen adventure had no impact on TV’s Clark meeting his destiny. Says Souders, "We work pretty closely with DC Comics, and everybody knew this [final arc] would be launching that concept of Superman, but it also is very much ending the chapter of Smallville. So no, there was nothing we had to pull back on. Everybody has been wonderful."
Will Darkseid assume physical form by season’s end?
The rumor that the corrupting essence would at some point appear as he does in the comic books seems to have gone up in smoke, no pun intended. (OK, fine, it was.) "Darkseid doesn’t exactly live by the same physical rules of our universe, but there is no question when his presence is felt," Souders explains. As the season winds down, "If you look carefully, you’ll see some [visual] remnants."
Just how angry is Zod when Clark meets up with him again in “Dominion,” airing April 29? (We’re thinking very.)
Last seen being banished from Earth at the close of Season 9, the Zod that Clark and Ollie come face-to-face with — in the Phantom Zone — is unlike any incarnation encountered to date. "We haven’t seen this Zod before — he’s kind of a combination of all the different Zods we’ve seen [on Smallville] into one character," says Souders. Wow, that’s a whole lotta angry rolled into one Kandorian. "He’s not happy," Souders confirms. "He has not had a good couple of months."
