Tom Welling's Older Superman & Smallville's Justice League Unite Against Lex Luthor In DC Art

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Smallville's Superman, Tom Welling, returns as an older version of the DC hero alongside the show's Justice League, Lex Luthor, and more in a new DC fan art series. Although the Superman prequel series ran for ten seasons, with Smallville containing several superhero suits, the DC show had a strict "No tights, no flights" rule that led to Welling never fully suiting up as Superman.

On Instagram, @buffy2ville shared a fan art series that brings Smallville's all-star cast back as older versions of their heroes, with the villain Lex Luthor also showing up. Welling's Clark Kent returns in the fan art with two different versions of a Superman costume, with both looking great. Other Smallville Justice League heroes depicted in the fan art are Justin Hartley's Green Arrow and Alan Ritchson's Aquaman. Laura Vandervoort's Supergirl, finally in a full-on suit, and Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor in the villain's comic book-accurate armor round out the appearances.

In live-action, Welling and Lois Lane actress Erica Durance returned as their characters for the Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event. The crossover revealed that the duo is now married and the parents of two girls, with Clark giving up his powers after Smallville's ending.

Welling and Rosenbaum are developing an animated Smallville sequel series. Last year, before James Gunn became one of DC Studios' co-CEOs and announced the new DCU, Welling shared a positive update on the Smallville animated series. According to the Superman actor, the series would pick up right after the end of Smallville season 10, with new stories by Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar.
