Who Tom Welling’s Superman Should Interact With In A Possible Smallville Revival?
Smallville Left Out Popular DC Heroes
While a live-action Smallville revival is unlikely, Tom Welling and Lex Luthor actor Michael Rosenbaum have spoken about their efforts to get a Smallville sequel animated series off the ground. According to the duo, the animated show would pick up from Smallville‘s series finale, with creators Al Gough and Miles Millar returning. They also hope to bring back as many cast members as possible.
If the Smallville animated revival ever ends up making it to series, then there are quite a few characters that Welling’s Clark Kent should interact with now that he is Superman. At the top of that list are the other members of DC Comics’ Trinity — Batman and Wonder Woman. While many fans theorize that Ian Somerhalder’s Adam Knight was meant to be a version of Bruce Wayne and Erica Durance’s Lois Lane wore a Wonder Woman costume in the series, Smallville never featured Bruce or Diana Prince. Getting DC’s Trinity together in the Smallville universe would be a must.
By expanding Smallville‘s world, Clark could interact with several other major DC heroes, such as Barry Allen/ The Flash, Hal Jordan/ Green Lantern, Billy Batson/Shazam, and more. Welling’s Clark Kent could also develop a mentor relationship with a young Dick Grayson, providing him with the inspiration to become Nightwing like he does in the comics. The animated medium allows characters from all over the DC universe to appear in the planned Smallville revival, with the series being the perfect project to have Welling unleashed as Superman in world-saving adventures.
