Smallville Season Eight News

*ZariusTwo* · 05-01-2008, 09:44 PM

Kryptonsite.com has confirmed that Micheal Rosenbaum, Lex Luthor, is leaving the long-running series and will be in a limited role next season. In his place however will be two new regular characters.

-An unknown female villain (possibly Kryptonian Ursa or the Warrior Queen Maxima)

-Superman's deadliest enemy, Doomsday.

Holy Zod, Doomsday?! Ye've got to be kidding me!

WTF?! Doomsday?!

So he dies before he can even wear the cape and tights?!

*ZariusTwo* · 05-02-2008, 08:40 AM

The chances are that Clark "dies" at Doomsday's hands and this will lead to his "rebirth" as Superman.

**GK Punk** · 05-02-2008, 08:42 AM

That would be amazing.

Just when I thought season 8 would be really watered down without the Luthors. This is going to be awesome!

Man, I hope season 8 is good. This season hasn't been very good, and then when I heard Michael Rosenbaum is leaving, I was pretty sure that it would get even worse with the most interesting character leaving. But Doomsday and a female villain (please be Ursa!), maybe it'll be alright. Besides, they've got too many characters as it is, so maybe Lex in a limited role will be good. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't be dissapointed come fall.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-08-2008, 11:09 PM

There's now a description of season 8 characters Doomsday and Tess. Both of which will be series regulars...Should be interesting who they cast as Doomsday

The description of Doomsday reminds me of Hulk. Grrr!! Doomsday smash!!!

He'll be human till he Hulks up at least.

And it seems that this week's ep was indicating that Doomsday is connected to the Kawatache myth of Naman (Superman) being killed at one point or something either by Sageeth (Lex) or something else.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-09-2008, 04:41 AM

So Superman will be beaten to death by a bartender.

Uh-Huh.

Yep... by a bartender at a bar that Lois frequents and dragged Clark to last week since he's apperantly now 21....

*odupianist* · 05-09-2008, 11:01 AM

You won't like Davis when he's angry, grrr

any reason for Lex leaving?

**GK Punk** · 05-09-2008, 11:22 AM

Wow. That's incredibly lame.

*Spike Spiegel* · 05-10-2008, 11:54 AM

This is why I haven't watched this show in a long while.

JetsAndHeels · 05-10-2008, 02:07 PM

Alison Mack may not be back either. Plus Gough and Millar have departed as well.

The show really hasn't been the same since season 3, IMO. I hated to see Pete leave, and then when they killed off Jonathan Kent it got even worse.

But at least Pete returned this season...only to get stretching powers after eating Kryptonite laced gum.

Chloe can't leave. The Justice League needs her still!!

An exclusive scene from "Arctic",which recently premiered in Canada

*Raph's Girl* · 05-15-2008, 09:57 AM

Mike Aussiello over at tvguide.com has confirmed that Chloe IS indeed returning for next season.

Lex and Lana will be reduced to reacurring status.

Doomsday smash!!! http://www.kryptonsite.com/season8characters.htm Spoiler: DAVIS BLOOME: 26, Charming and handsome. Davis is the new bartender at the hip Metropolis lounge. Ace of Clubs, where he plays down his smoldering good looks with a self-effacing wit and down-to-earth soulfulness. Despite the ease with which Davis relates to his new friends, he carries with him the long-felt feelings of a perpetual outsider. Beneath Davis' charismatic, easy going demeanor lies a brooding sense of isolation and insecurity.. When he begins to delve into the haunting mysteries of his true origins, a darker truth begins to emerge, one of blood and serial murders, one of survival and utter destruction--one in which he is forced to confront the true evil inside of him...SERIES REGULAR. Spoiler: TESS: 28, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Determined. Sexy. Vengeful. And with amped physical strength. While Lex is away, she is in control of his estate and rules it with aggression. She's had intellect and the confidence all her life, though it's obvious she's had some training from Lex, as well. But as much as Lex has helped fortify her power, he is also her biggest weakness. She harbors an undying devotion to Lex, claiming he saved her life a few years ago. She carries out his wishes with coercion, force, seduction and anything to get what she wants, and no one can resist her beguiling ways. Even Clark Kent. She doesn't remember anything before the day she met Lex. Once she realizes her previous life is buried below the surface, she's desperate to dig it up...SERIES REGULAR. __________________
