  • Smallville is officially joining the Arrowverse?

  • All right people this is not a drill,

  • we repeat, this is not a drill.

  • Last month we put our wishes out into the universe

  • and the universe has answered.

  • Tom Welling, who played Clark Kent in Smallville

  • will be reprising his iconic take on Kal-El in the CW's

  • upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths mega crossover.

  • For those of you who don't know,

  • Crisis on Infinite Earths is an upcoming event for shows

  • in and related to the CW's DC character

  • television shows, known as, the Arrowverse.

  • Based on the iconic 1985 comic book event

  • by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, the story focuses

  • on heroes from across the DC multiverse

  • teaming up to save the entirety of existence.

  • And for those of you who also don't know,

  • Welling played Clark Kent for 10 years on Smallville

  • and, arguably, Smallville's success can probably be credited

  • as the basis for the modern superhero television landscape.

  • As we said earlier, last month we speculated on the

  • possibility of Tom Welling joining the crossover event

  • but those hopes were seemingly dashed

  • when Welling himself said, at this year's Fan Expo,

  • that nobody had talked to him about appearing in crisis

  • which was a huge bummer to fans

  • of early 2000s sweater and flannel fashions.

  • But, in a turn of events that seem reminiscent

  • of the Smallville theme song, somebody saved us

  • and now, EW has confirmed that Tom Welling will,

  • in fact, appear as Clark Kent in the crossover.

  • Phew, that was a lot of work to get

  • a Smallville theme song joke in there but it was worth it

  • if you got it stuck in your head right now.

  • As for the casting news, executive producer

  • Marc Guggenheim had this to say,

  • "For eight years, Arrow has stood

  • "on the shoulders of Smallville.

  • "Simply put, there would be no Arrow,

  • "and no Arrowverse, without it.

  • "So, when we first started talking about

  • "Crisis on Infinite Earths, our first, second

  • "and third priorities were getting Tom

  • "to reprise his iconic role as Clark Kent.

  • "To say that we're thrilled would

  • "be a Superman-sized understatement."

  • Welling is just the latest actor joining

  • other luminaries known for their past DC roles.

  • Like famed Robin actor Burt Ward and, of course,

  • one of the biggest gets being iconic Batman

  • voice actor Kevin Conroy who will make his

  • live action DC debut playing an older Bruce Wayne.

  • - I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!

  • - And Tom is not the first Superman

  • set to appear in Crisis, or the second but the third.

  • Tyler Hoechlin will appear as the Superman

  • he plays in Supergirl and Brandon Routh who,

  • already is in DC's Legends of Tomorrow,

  • will reprise the version of the Man of Steel

  • he portrayed in 2006's Superman Returns.

  • Now, with the huge scope that this event

  • seems to be taking, it certainly seems to be shaping up

  • as one of the most ambitious crossovers of all time.

  • Sorry Infinity War and it has us wondering if there might

  • be more casting news that is being kept under wraps.

  • Like, could we get Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain

  • to reprise their versions of Lois and Clark?

  • Or could Linda Carter also slap on

  • the Wonder Woman tights again?

  • While some of them already have roles in the DC TV shows,

  • Brandon Routh is double dipping so it is possible.

  • However, our absolute biggest wish

  • is that Mark Hamill will return.

  • Not as The Trickster, who he played in the Flash

  • but as an older Joker to pair up

  • against Kevin Conroy's Bruce Wayne.

  • We can dream.

  • Honestly, we still have one major

  • question about Tom Welling's appearance.

  • Will he finally wear the tights for real?

  • Because the costume he wore in

  • the Smallville finale was CGI.

  • We guess we will have to wait until

  • Crisis on Infinite Earths debuts on the CW in December.

  • But what do you folks think?

  • Are you excited for Tom Welling

  • to appear in Crisis on Infinite Earths?

  • What other actors would you like

  • to see reprise roles in the crossover?

  • And name a TV show opening song more catchy

  • than Smallville's Somebody Save Me.

  • Let's discuss.

  • Thanks again to Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda:

  • Link's Awakening game for sponsoring today's episode.

  • Prepare to embark on an exciting adventure after Link

  • has been washed ashore on the reimagined Koholint Island.

  • To find his way home, Link must use all of his skills

  • and weapons as he fights his way past

  • moblins, octoroks and even goombas?

  • Relive the classic story September 20th

  • on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Light systems.

  • (upbeat music)
