The Final Word From The Producers Regarding Batman And Welling In The Suit

Brief interview with Al Gogh.

Every Smallville fan has heard rumors about seeing a young Bruce "Batman" Wayne do a cameo on the show. Will that day ever come?
Again, sadly, no. Batman, the Feature Division [of Warners] has. Christopher Nolan has done a fantastic job, it’s a fantastic movie. But they’ve kind of taken Batman off the table for us.

Have you ever thought about Tom Welling donning the costume -- just to get an idea of "what if"?
No, it's actually in his contract that he won't wear the costume. (Laughter) I’m not sure what he does at home, but on the show, he’s not wearing the costume. And again, not to conflict with the movies, [Warners Feature Film Division] doesn’t want him in the costume, and we don’t want him in the costume. [Smallville is] a different show altogether.

Now let this be the end of it PLEASE GOD

Thank god. That suit is so gay anyways. If they were to put a suit on him I would hope that it is waaay more modern and less revealing.

Dude the suit is what makes him Superman, Dont call it gay 😛

big muscular guy running around in spandex, scared to go all the way with his only female love "interest"

It's just that he tries to remain inconspicous yet he wears a bright blue suit, with underwear on the outside 😕 and a big red cape. Why doesn't he just wear a t-shirt saying. I'm not gonna try to hide anymore my name is Clark Kent and I'm an alien. 🙄

Not to mention that the no collar thing is sooooo 70's. And not the good punk part of the 70's either.... The really bad, lame ass bell bottom part of the 70's.

I think it's more meant for comic's. A little easier for the artists to draw... But in real life the outfit could be so much cooler.🏴‍☠️

The suit is timeless. It's simplistic, retro, regal, and everything that a superhero needs. It's come to represent not only power and strength, but also responsibility. Would you prefer him in a leather jacket? It's friggin' Superman!

And Superman isn't the alter ego in which he wishes to be inconspicuous, it's Clark Kent, or rather Metropolis Clark. There're three aspects of Superman's personality: there's Superman, the hero; Metropolis Clark, the clumsy and shy reporter from Kansas; and then there's Smallville Clark, aka Kal-El, who's just himself.

Haha Sorry dude, that's just how I feel. 😛

But if superman ins't trying to remian inconspicous why doesn't he tell eveyone his name is Kal-el or Clark??

It's also stupid looking IMHO 😛

A Suit identifies that hero, A person could have the exact same powers but its their suit and name that make them the hero they are.

They arnt going to have Clark in the suit.... 😒

WTF is this BS?? That the main reason for me watching the show, to see Clark grow into Superman, then at the end don the 'S', thats THE reason for the show. Smallville is a great show (most of the time anyways) but if they don't have Clark in the suit, even if its only for 2 seconds at the end in the final episode, it will be the biggest, dumbest, most retarded letdown I've ever seen on a TV show. To have a build up for 6-7 years and not have him in the suit at the end will leave a LOT of people really really pissed off and let down.

What about this one? Is this one ridiculous looking too? I love it!

While he doesn't try and hide his appearance (mask or what ever) he still does not want people knowing who he is to protect his loved ones. What Superman does is have people beleive he is Superman all day every day with no alter ego therefore no one suspects anything. Although anyone who knows Clark and Supes would instantly know who he is by looking at him... However this is not the case in comics lol.

This one isnt bad.

It's from Wizard Magazine, when they asked "What if DC went Ultimate like Marvel?" "Ultimate Superman" as it was called in the article, would've taken place five years after Smallville.

Hmmmm He has a collar and no underwear on the outside... not too bad. Still a little revealing though. I just don't think guys should be wearing spandex. 😛

No, you cant change Supe's costume, its timeless, and it IS Superman, everything else is secondary.

They should just put him in a modified version of the Returns costume, but to fit Welling. It was not spandex (more like rubberish), and it looked cool, but it was still basically the same suit, except updated for today a bit.

I don't believe a word of this. You mean to tell me that they can't have Christian Bale do a small cameo. Or perhaps have another actor play Bruce Wayne. Tom Welling certainly wasn't Superman in that recently horrible film. As for the superman costume, that has been a stable of the superman mythos for years. Tom Welling is going to have to wear when Smallville finally ends.
