Since the tenth and final season’s on it’s way, he will fly and become Superman sooner or later. Tom Welling’s always been open to the idea of him [playing role on the big screen. He does have the most experience and potential and he deserves more credit than what some people have given him and ten long seasons he’s worked hard building his character and I have to give him his props. He’s earned the right to be given a chance and he’s proved that he can act and has the goods to pull it off and the future producer and director for the rebooted movie has to realize that. He deserves it and he has earned it.
Personally, I would like to see him in a Justice League movie one day:)
But hey, whatever happens, happens. We’ll never know until then.

Tom Welling kept Smallville alive now for it’s ninth season! This means alot to the C.W. and Warner Bros. you might think? Wake up Warner Bros. and smell the coffee!

It’s all gravy, brother…

I was just wonderin’

…but let’s be honest,
People in the movie business lie all the time.
Studios pick a time and place to reveal casting decisions, and maybe Gough wasnt allowed to confirm it yet.

Just look at all the denials that Shia gave concerning his involvment in the Indiana Jones movie.
That’s just one example, but like I said… People in the movie business lie ALL THE TIME. (caps are for effect, I’m not yelling)

Tom could totally pull off Superman, if the movie started right after the end of the ‘Smallville’ series. Even Christopher Reeves gave his blessing when he guest-stared on the series.

“You flipped your lid about their Iron Man video too.”

It was how they went about doing it, or to the point, how they claimed to. In retrospect, I think they made some of it up to sound more exciting. (boasts of lying to security, going where it said to be off limits etc.) Also, Jay…I only questioned IESB twice in my lifetime, this being the second. I am not a hater.

Then again, see the M Night comment: I sorta stick it to Cinematical too.
Maybe I’m having a rotten Monday.

Don’t worry; I’ll get over it.

Oh, wait, my bad.
They DIDN’T call Gough.

Jay, I seriously doubt they had any sources that confirmed Welling is going to be in JLA. It’s more likely he is ‘considered’…but I stand by what I said. Why?

Think of it this way: the first person they call is one of the heads of ‘Smallville’- who you either think should know (or, if this is true, would be involved in JLA, since it is a Smallville spinoff) and he says no.

They call ‘unnamed sources’ and believe them.
In effect, they just called Al Gough a liar.

Yes, I do have a problem with that.
My middle finger is still raised at IESB. Sorry.

Darren,
It’s common practice in the journalism biz to protect your sources.
IESB has had plenty of scoops as far as casting goes and are you honestly trying to say that studios dont lie?

Out of curiosity,
Why do you have such a hate-on for IESB?

You flipped your lid about their Iron Man video too.

John,
Sorry about the double post.
Feel free to delete one of them.

No one has said anything about taking the rest of the cast of Smallville and putting them in the JL movie except John Campea.

So everyone just calm down because that ain’t gonna happen.

If (and that’s a big IF) Tom gets the gig, he will be the only carry-over from Smallville.

Mark my words.

Personally,
I think Welling would be a good choice.
I like him as Clark on the show and I think I would like him as Supes.
Hell, I’m quite sure he would make an excellent Superman.
If people want to make a connection to Smallville… so be it.
It would make me care MORE about this incarnation of Superman because I have a history with him. I watched him grow up.

By the way, as far as Welling’s contract goes… just because someone is contracted for 8 seasons doesnt mean there will be 8 seasons. Michael Rosenbaum says this will be his last season and I highly doubt they will carry on without Lex Luthor. But who knows… either way, this is going to be a huge movie for Warner Bros and if they want Welling for the role then Smallville will work around it.

On a side note,
I’m incredibly happy that Bale and Routh arent going to be in this movie. Especially Bale. I dont in any way think the Nolan/Bale created Batman would work in a JL movie. The JL just doent fit in that universe. Honestly, I dont think it would fit in Singer’s Superman universe either.
Plus, the word on the street is that the treatment that Singer and Co just turned in to Warners for The Man Of Steel rocks.

So I say again, Thank GOD Bale and Routh arent going to be in this flick and I’m going to buck the popular vote and say that I would like to see Welling as Supes. Bring it on.
