The planned Smallville animated series is still in development, with stars Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum having now provided further update while discussing the upcoming Blu-ray release of Smallville: The Complete Series.
Clark had to become Superman, and Smallville could not be a Superman series.
We’re trying to see what happens with it, but that’s about all I can say right now,” Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor opposite Welling’s Clark Kent in the original Smallville series, explained.
Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Smallville follows Welling as a young Clark Kent long before he ever donned the red cape and blue tights of Superman.
