No, Smallville Supes got folded into Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow in the same vein as Donner Superman and Kingdom Come.

Not seeing enough love for Lex KNOWING Clark Kent is Superman in that world and still not believing his Clark could be the Man of Steel.

Is there a CW source confirming Welling is WHTTMOT Clark or is that a fan connection? Because in that story Superman "dies" and Lois ends up with a dude is totally not Clark Kent.

It didn't seem to be an act either, he held kryptonite and everything.



Unless it's like Infinite Crisis and the kryptonite was from a different earth so it doesn't hurt him...

So you're saying he was already under the influence of blue kryptonite at the time? Makes sense.

It's possible, Smallville was basically made out of kryptonite.

Welling being powerless did lead to him punching Cryer-Luthor in the face and having Cryer-Luthor mope around that killing Welling wasn't worth it anymore. I got a chuckle out of that.

I...think thats wrong? Clark takes gold Kryptonite to remove his powers, then assumes a false name to live out the rest of his life with Lois and their kids. Or maybe I am remembering it wrong.

from the wiki:


Since he has broken his own code never to kill, Superman, in penance, voluntarily enters a chamber containing a sample of gold kryptonite—which permanently strips him of his powers—and disappears into the Arctic wasteland. When the other heroes enter the remains of the Fortress, they find only Perry and Alice White and Lois still alive. Superman's body is never found and it is assumed by all parties that the powerless hero died in the Arctic.

After the interview is over and Crane leaves the Elliot residence, it is indirectly revealed that the mechanic Jordan Elliot (a reference to Superman's father, Jor-El), Lois' husband, is Superman. He is without powers and living as an ordinary man with Lois and their son Jonathan, who is likely named after Jonathan Kent. Lois' words on the Man of Steel's final fate, "I never saw Superman again", is now understood to mean the man who emerged from the gold kryptonite chamber was no longer superhuman.

I mean, I simplified it but that dude who is totally not Clark Kent and Superman "dies" are the main beats. The Smallville cameo is almost nothing like that.

That's exactly what the scene laid out. I dont k ow why people are trying to stretch it into Whatever Happened to...

The big thing that makes it pretty clear it isn't supposed to be that story is Smallville Clark said his Lex is still alive (and the President.)

I think they're just trying to connect it to a comic story where Superman "retires" to raise a family and WHTTMOT is the most popular one (the only one, as far as I can think of)

The second episode was much better than the first. Also Kite Man is Leonard from Ugly Americans (RIP best animated show).

Ivy and Harley instantly sliding into teenage girls being overly polite to your parents every time they talked to the mom character, as well as the situation itself, really helped sell what the show is. It's clone high with DC characters where they can say gently caress.

Everyone does commercials in Japan all the time. They figure it's easy money for a few days work, and it won't cheapen their image because almost no one outside the country will see them.
