You might be thinking, there are a lot of Superman series. But Smallville stood out from all the other shows that focus on Superman. Fans loved seeing how Clark Kent was before he became a hero!

The focus was to understand him and all his relationships on an emotional level.
It provided this incredible chance to learn more about characters like Lex Luthor, Oliver Queen, and Lois Lane!. They've had many transformations in other comics and TV shows and they brought something new and refreshing to them!

What made the story of Smallville special was its interesting journey. We got a chance to watch Clark Kent become the big hero. They could not just rush Clark to that final spot, where he took on that ultimate role.

But what they did do! In those final moments of the show. "Smallville" was not the same as what viewers may be used to.

They left that moment unplayed to fans! You would think "Smallville" would really push forward with this incredible opportunity. Instead, we never saw Tom Welling, the talented actor, playing Clark Kent as Superman! But it's a very small, very big loss. And yet, it had to continue somehow and they created something memorable - the "Smallville Season 11" comics that kept going, showing us even more from these iconic characters!

It’s pretty cool! Fans, like myself! Are on board with seeing Tom Welling suit up as Superman! If we look at the history of "Smallville" and what it did, this really sets it up to bring it all back together for fans. It also comes from what they've talked about, and there’s something special happening, it seems that they've even considered what it could look like.

There have been a few actors talking about returning for a Smallville sequel!

It is pretty compelling that everyone’s been on the same page about a return, with actors like Welling and Rosenbaum (the person behind the infamous Lex Luthor), have expressed their excitement about returning!

Even Erica Durance (the powerful character that brought Lois Lane to the small screen, is interested, even giving some thoughts about where Lois should go in this new adaptation. It would certainly make everyone's heart soar. But fans want more than just a repeat of those old shows.

Durance had some exciting moments from Smallville.
Durance thought that we could see Lois in a new light!
Perhaps this special new iteration, would even have a child. We don't get to see that on Smallville.
There were some glimpses into Lois Lane's family, however, that's not enough!
Durance even shared some exciting ideas about giving Lois a richer background and even looking into what made her who she was.

The combination of the core actors!

One of the elements about a sequel. That could get the green light!

It turns out that Durance’s thoughts about Lois Lane in a continuation is something many of those watching thought of too, and they’ve come to the conclusion. What they really want to see is an extension of the original series, a show that really stands out. So the potential for a Smallville sequel really brings about an opportunity. This could give them that sense of completion! This series would show more depth about who this well-loved character was. The inclusion of Erica Durance as part of the story could potentially make fans a whole lot happier!

The villains in "Smallville" are just as important as the heroes. Some of the main highlights were a combination of iconic characters like "Lex Luthor," but there was someone who stood out, "Brainiac." Fans might also remember that this particular villain made a name for himself as the "Brain InterActive Construct," as this awesome, unforgettable, and menacing villain! It’s an icon of this classic show.

Even more interesting? What this amazing character gave was some compelling insights about Superman as a person and not just a force!

You see "James Marsters" was in a role, a memorable part, which was part of what made the series so compelling!
"Marsters", the amazing actor who played "Brainiac,", really went into depth, and provided a thought-provoking commentary. Marsters brought to light that Superman wasn't a hero that you could show having constant life-threatening risks.

The best way to make a good "Superman" story that’s entertaining! Well, you make Clark a normal kid who has feelings that make him human!

This makes it clear why Smallville was so loved,
It also makes those that starred in the series have an opinion about their characters and want to see what they can accomplish next! Marsters talked about a continuation for a potential "Brainiac" storyline.
Brainiac, the classic villain. "Marsters even suggested how cool it would be for those of you who love these shows, to potentially have "Brainiac 5" to appear as well.!

It seems everyone is excited! We can expect more "Smallville", possibly in the world of DC comics or a potential new TV show. You’ve already seen "Brainiac 5," in the comics and could become a huge element for any sequel that comes out.

These stories, these animated moments!

It’s going to give everyone, those who watch "Smallville," another big, heart-warming opportunity. The crew are thinking "Warner Bros." and the other big figures have to come to the realization that it's about a classic show, its amazing history. If they want the fan base on board.

Everyone is going to be in! So it would just take one more, small push for a project to get the green light and finally be released! What makes it even more exciting is the talent involved. That will keep this project in high demand and everyone waiting on those big announcements to really bring this back!
