Smallville Finale Spoilers!  Interview with Mr. Welling himself!

An interview with Tom Welling where he provides possible yet minor spoilers on the much anticipated Smallville finale!

Below is an interview with Mr. Welling himself hinting at one really great scene between him and Lex...and of course he mentioned that he will indeed be donning the suit. This probably isn't much...but it should be enough to sooth at least a little bit of the anticipation many fans are having for the finale. With my most favorite CB villain Lex Luthor's return and Clark finally growing a pair and becoming Superman...my hopes are high as are everyone else's that this finale will be FREAKING AWESOME!!!! Ok, so here's the interview:

Clark's relationship with Lois (Erica Durance):
"In the season finale, we address the future between Clark and Lois. I think that what you'll see is that Clark is destined to be alone. It's the hero's burden," says Welling. "You'll see in the finale that of course, there is a future between Clark and Lois in the world of Superman. It's how they get there that I think will be very entertaining."

Michael Rosenbaum's return as Lex Luthor:
"It's the worst kept secret in television history," Tom laughs. "The scene between Clark and Lex is one of my favorites, for sure."

The "no flights, no tights" tagline that's been thrown around for several years:
"It's funny that you asked that," says Welling. "I'm doing some press over the last few weeks... and I got an email from Warner Bros politely requesting that I not answer that question."

The transformation from Clark Kent to Superman:
"The final image of what you'll see at the end of 'Smallville'... makes me so proud and makes the hair on my arms stand up. It's something that people have wanted to see for a long time and it'll fulfill what they've been waiting for."



Post your thoughts below on what you think of this interview. A bit revealing...? What sort of scene could be between Lex and Clark that made it one of Tom's favorites? Will we see the wedding between Lois and Clark?

And what of...the suit...??

Nice find dude. And when he says the "final image" I really really hope he doesn't literally mean the final image of Smallville will show what we've been waiting forever to see.....

I can't believe Lois knows who Clark is before he's even Superman... what a [frick]ing INSULT to us Superman fans!!!

I'm hoping for the best but so glad this show is gone [frick]ing crappy actor WELLING and weak pi$$ poor scripts and writers made this show into a joke!

RETURNS is a masterpiece compared to this!

Thank [frick] we have HENRY CAVILL he'll show WELLING how SUPERMAN should be played! :)

:p

@LEEE- Dude i am totally in sync with what you're saying but you lost me at the words- "Superman Returns" and "masterpiece" LOL

C'mon man...I mean...at least Smallville used villains other than Lex and his land scheme. Plus the first few seasons of Smallville were PURE GOLD you gotta admit, waaaaaaaay better than that trashy 'Superman Returns' movie. Plus- LEX IS RETURNING!!! And I have faith the finale will be so fu*king epic!!!

C'mon LEEE- Cheers man!

btw- Not to start a debate here but come on people, I think most of us can at least agree- Rosenbaum's Lex WHOOPS the stuffing out of Spacey's lame version.

Double the Lexy...??? That can't be good ;D

Fellow Superman-fans...we've had a good run with all these actors portraying Big Blue. Time for us to see how Henry Cavill does! I'm sure he won't disappoint!

LP4 - 4/29/2011, 1:37 AM
@GDSuperguy- Nicely played my friend ;D

I actually like Welling a lot. Gotta pay that guy loads of respect- he has played Clark Kent for 10 years!! =D

Plus, who else has gotten the blessing from Reeve himself?

TOM WELLING!!!

The TRUE heir of Christopher Reeve!


Henry Cavill will not be the heir of Reeve but better yet- HE WILL BE HIS OWN SUPERMAN. A Superman completely detached from everything prior!

@Superguy- Dude check out my post just above yours, i updated it a bit ;D

btw- Nice ZOD pic there! =D

LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/29/2011, 1:46 AM
GODDAMN @ ; D


LP4 @ I said looks like a masterpiece dude lol!

Not is!

And SMALLVILLE is a JOKE!

No way Lois should even know WELLING's SUPERMAN yet... hell he isn't even Superman really till the suit and their getting [frick]ing married???

That alone has tainted the final!

As for WELLING he could play farmboy Clark but never Superman... he ain't a strong enough actor to play Superamn, should have stayed in SMALLVILLE!

I used to love Smallville, shame!

Theres a reason Wellings in Routh's suit haha!

Routhy was a billion times better!

Yup dude, I'm only doing what u do on every Routh article! ; D

Nice find btw bro!

BRING ON CAVILL!!!!

JDUKE25 - 4/29/2011, 1:47 AM
I don't understand the hate on Welling as an actor. Sure he isn't the absolute best, but I think he does a good job playing Clark.

@LP4 exactly. Reeve did pretty much pass the torch to him. And Cavill will do amazing.
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 4/29/2011, 1:48 AM
@LEEE I agree with you on Cavill. He will be freakin amazing as Supes. But I just can't agree that Routh is better than Welling.
LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 1:49 AM
@JDUKE25- True man, Reeve said it himself that Welling would make a great Superman in a movie.

@LEEE- Well, Routh didn't do much acting in 'Stalkerman Returns' so it is hard to really compare him and Welling's acting chops.

LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 1:50 AM
@JDUKE- EXACTLY!!! Dude every role Routh has been in, he's stunk pretty bad.

He always comes off as very 'wooden' he has to literally FORCE emotion out.

Neither him nor Welling are all that great...but I seriously think Welling is better than Routh if at least by a bit.

But I hope Cavill can at least be the Superman we've all been waiting for.

Again- in 'Superman Returns' Routh did not say much. He only did the bumbling Clark Kent-Reeve thing and even that seemed a bit 'forced' on his part.

I have no doubts Routh could possibly improve his acting in time...but I just don't see how he's soooo much better than Welling.

Honestly- Welling has held down a stable job longer. Being on Smallville for 10 years may not sound so impressive to some...but really that is pretty impressive and admirable for any Superman-fan to see that Welling really did care about Clark Kent.

Also his suit isn't EXACTLY like Routh's. The cape looks lighter and there is a collar-look to it.

Welling really isn't as bad as people make him out to sound.

But Routh just hasn't really impressed me all that much in any of his roles. He is always being upstaged by someone else on screen.
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 4/29/2011, 1:54 AM
@LP4 yeah, I mean Welling does a good job at showing emotion. Exile (him and chloe in his apartment). Pariah (finding Alicia's body) Vengeance (End scene) Crimson (Party crash scene) just to name a few episodes where his acting was great.
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 4/29/2011, 1:55 AM
@LP4 I think, i could be wrong, but i think that collar is where they put the cape, like where they'll sew it on or whatever.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/29/2011, 1:56 AM
LP4 @ Dude, Welling has had 10 years of trying master Superman and still failed, 2 hours Routhy had and was Superman... I'm not arguing, just saying you shouldn't keep h8ing Routh when Welling is even a worst actor!

And a once decent written show has been dragged thru Kryptonite sh1Te lol!

I do blame STINGER (Singer tho for the SuperKId and no punch).

But the CW writers are even worst!

Cannot believe their getting married... only deccent thing looking forward to is LEXIE back!

P.S. Reeve's was around when Smallville was well written, he'd be insulted now the way its all turned out, season 8 onwards unforgivable!



JDUKE25 @ lol
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 4/29/2011, 1:57 AM
and Welling has always done good acting in pain with the Kryptonite around.
LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 1:58 AM
@JDUKE- Exactly my friend. To be honest, since the early seasons I never noticed what people are saying he's a "bad" actor. It wasn't till much later when i read all the hate on here that i started to really focus more on Welling's dialogue.

He really isn't that bad. ;D

Routh on the other hand was in an actual big budget movie...but he came off very forgettable. He never really spoke a word. And again, none of his roles impressed me.

And still- Early seasons of Smallville totally beat the crap out of 'Stalkerman Returns'

Also I think you're right about the 'collar' but regardless if it had a collar i don't think I'd hate on it. Makes it unique and sets it apart from the SR's suit! ;D
LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 2:01 AM
@LEEE- Wait...you make no sense man. Welling didn't fail at trying to master Superman for 10 years. He didn't even TRY to master Superman. He was being 'Clark Kent' and nothing more. The show wasn't about Superman. It's about Clark Kent's journey to getting to that point.

Routh was Superman in a movie called "SUPERMAN Returns" that is a movie ABOUT Superman. So of course Routh will have more air-time as Superman, it is inevitable. So using that as a reason to bash Welling and pump up Routh's image isn't very impressive, sorry dude but it isn't.

Look, let's drop this. It's 2am and I need to sleep. Thanks for the comments though guys!!!
LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 2:05 AM
btw- @LEEE- It's REEVE. Not REEVES.

Reeves was the Superman of the 50's

Reeve was the Superman of the 80's

They are two totally different people. I don't get why so many people mix up the names. One has an 'S' at the end the other doesn't which is funny we're talking about an 'S' difference since this is an article about SUPERMAN!

;D
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/29/2011, 2:07 AM
LP4 @ WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! (lol)

As soon as WELLING moved to METROPOLIS fighting crime as MATRIX/BLUE BLUR/FLASH GORDON JACKET SUPER BOY he was playing SUPERMAN... or trying too!

He played a good Clark Kent, as he was passable with the decent scripts in the early days, but can't play superhero to save his life, he sucked... Durrance showed him up on every scene!

Look not even gonna talk about Returns no more... its a sad fact he's getting married in the final when he hasn't even worn the cape yet, just sh1tty weak versions of the suit through the last few seasons... damn you CW lol.

LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 2:12 AM
@LEEE- Well...he wasn't really TRYING though to be Superman and you're WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGGG then when you say he tried for 10 years. He didn't move to Metropolis and wear those suits and jackets till like what...season 8 or something?

Plus like i said he never wore a cape. I'm just saying he wasn't trying to be Superman. He never flew.

You should judge the guy once he puts on the suit as opposed to judging him before he even puts the damn thing on.

Look at Routh man...that guy wore the suit but he was forgettable in the movie. He got upstaged by so many in that film. For a guy who was supposedly- the "lead actor" he sure stayed in the background a lot. I mean I'd still say Spacey and Bosworth were the main stars of that movie, they had the most dialogue.

Routh is good at staying in the background and that is it.

@GDSuperguy- Hahaha thanks man for the support here as always buddy!

Look LEEE, I think you're going to find it difficult to win the argument here.

Routh was in one massively terrible Superman film that nearly re-destroyed the character and really...Routh just stayed in the background of the film. He wasn't the real lead-actor.

And like I said- judge Welling when he puts on the suit not before. Those jackets and crap weren't Superman plain and simple. Once he breaks the rule of no tights no flights in the finale, you are free to judge him as you please. But to date...he really HASN'T been Superman...YET ;D


LP4
LP4 - 4/29/2011, 2:26 AM
Anyway LEEE, since I know you just LOOOOOOVE Welling so much. Here's a little gift for you pal-

Yep...he definitely wears that suit better than the guy from the actual film! lol

Again to all haters- Judge Welling AFTER he has donned the suit. Not before. ;D

LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/29/2011, 4:39 AM
LP4 @ Haha, cheers bud lol! ; D

P.s. Yes I do agree on Mike as LEX much much better than Spacey! ; P

Glad he's back!

Okay all arguments aside, I've been a Smallville fan since day one, and like you and everyone am looking forward to the final and hoping its fantastic!

Still... I'm going to the toilet when the Wedding scene happens lol.

But yeah can't wait to see Welling in the cape on the final minute, its been wayyyy 2 long! :)
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 4/29/2011, 4:50 AM
P.S. Why isn't this out in main dude?

It hasn't been posted yet right? I'm only asking coz I ain't been here really since yesterday morning so I'm playing catch up? This is kinda a big article!

here so all the [female dog]y going back and forth, what he said or didn't say. Just go back a few pages it posted by Ed

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/VoicesFromKrypton/news/?a=36009

It was also confirmed that over 60% voted on a poll completed by TV Guide for the upcoming MOS TW was voted top to be Supes. Some of you wouldn't be happy with that as we know.

I really hope the finale is good, if its not then the fans (especially the ones whove been watching since day 1) are basically gunna have their dedication thrown in their faces.
Tom Welling=Better Clark
Brandon Routh=Better Superman (although we havent seen Wellings Superman yet, not til he flies and wears the suit)
Hopefully, Cavill=Best Clark/Superman

Guys, please check out my new fan fic if you have time X-Men Origins Magneto

@LEEE- Thanks buddy yeah dude fu*k all debates!!! lol I hope this gets main but I doubt it. I never get out there, LOL

@WildStar- Thank you so much my friend! Let's all hope for the best and not another "Stalkerman Returns" cape. For me that cape was way too heavy looking and had no "S" on it, WTF Singer????

@Waylon- True...but Ed's was audio and mine just has the key-points from the interview. Plus I actually decorated my article a little more than he did with his. I put pictures, that coincide with the interview itself, I put my own personal thoughts into paragraph form...I decorated this thing a lot and the simple fact that obviously a lot of people are posting comments here in excitement is proof that they didn't really listen to Ed's audio interview because again- mine just focuses on the keypoints of the interview. Sort of the cliff-notes version if you will. Plus I've been told by CBM that it isn't always 'first come first serve' but they wanna see articles that have a lot of effort put into them. Heck, I've posted things first too...but they've been rejected for ones that came after but that had better detail than mine.

As long as my article is bringing awareness to people here who obviously didn't see Ed's, is enough to keep my article around.

Ed's article only had the audio and the teaser. That's it. His was plain.

He rushed his. I actually put lots of effort into mine.

-no offense Ed
