It was announced in June 2008 that Witwer had been cast as Davis Bloome (Aka: Doomsday; the character from the Superman comics, best known for being the only villain to have killed Superman), a charming paramedic, on Smallville.

(Samuel Witer is the same guy that voices the Darth Vader's apprentice in "The Force Unleased" star wars video game. They also use his likeness in the game, as well)
Cool. Doomsday? That'll be worth a watch. Even if we don't get to see the monster but just the guy prior to him becoming the (only) person/monster to ever actually kill Superman.

Do they really need to do every thing different, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Nothing will be good about this, expect some crappy 3 minute confrontation followed by plot device for Clark to win. I just know this is going to be horrible.
I'm actually really glad they're deciding to go this route with Doomsday, and getting Witwer as Doomsday was a steal. I can't wait to see him & Clark duke it out.

i think that they're going to greatly depower him because clark isn't all that he could be rigth now and the writers know that with clark's current status, he wouldn't stand a chance against doomsday

In the mean time, I never DID see that anime where I unintentionally got my name from. Is it any good
Not really, it's pretty smart what they're doing, and Clark has shown improvement over the years as a fighter, especially when he fought Titan in season six. In any case, I think Doomsday versus Clark is going to be the best fight of the series yet...whenever it happens.

We will see how it will start next week. I think doomsday on sv is good and i can't wait until he changes completely , get super powers, explain where he is from, and a all out battle between superman and him fight

Witwer has said we will see something very close to how he's interpreted in the comics, so that'll be cool. Season eight has been good so far (not that Smallville has had any bad seasons, anyway) so I think they'll do Doomsday justice.

I wouldn't say they've messed up the continuity, they've actually made the character more enjoyable for me. Superman is boring at times, and all through Smallville Clark has been anything but boring for me. Also, I'm inclined to believe that Clark is pulling a JLU Superman type of thing and is holding back because he doesn't want to seriously hurt anyone. If he fights Doomsday, I'm pretty sure he'd be able to go toe to toe with him.
