Here’s what else is going on in nerd news around the web:
Clark <3’s Lex: During an interview with MTV, Smallville‘s Tom Welling said that he’d love to have Clark Kent’s arch nemesis Lex Luthor back for the tenth and final season of the series.
“I want to see Lex [Luthor],” said Welling. “I want to see him come back. In the show, he’s still alive. He’s just not around. But I want to see Michael [Rosenbaum] and I want to see Lex Luthor. I want to know how that relationship really turns out. Because that’s the big relationship that I believe propelled Clark to become Superman.”
Well Tom, if Rosenbaum is unavailable, I think I may have a viable replacement: Meet Lev Grossman. Think about it. He’s got the look and is only one character away from actually being named Lex. He could also write the series … and then the review.
The “Get Lev on Smallville” campaign, guys and gals. I just started it.
