Smallville never fully did Superman.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite getting close, Tom Welling never wore the full Superman suit in Smallville. Starting in 2001, Smallville would go on for ten seasons, chronicling the adventures of a young Clark Kent as he discovered his powers while still in high school and then had to grapple with what they meant, discovering his Kryptonian heritage, cementing his role as Earth's protector, and becoming Superman.

Tom Welling Never Wore The Superman Suit Because Smallville Wasn't That Kind Of Show The only moment that Welling was seen with part of the Superman suit was in Smallville's very final shot, with Clark running and opening his shirt to reveal the House of El crest on his chest. Why Welling never wore Superman's costume in Smallville can be explained by the show's most important rule.

How Smallville Would've Been Different With A Proper Superman Suit Smallville was the precursor for the expanded DC TV universe that followed it: the Arrowverse. Welling's final season as Clark Kent, Smallville season 10, concluded in 2011, just one year before the first show of the Arrowverse began airing, with Stephen Amell suiting up as Green Arrow — the hero that had been played by Justin Hartley in Smallville — in 2012's Arrow.

Why Tom Welling Didn't Wear A Superman Suit In Crisis on Infinite Earths The Arrowverse became famous for its crossover events, with multiple shows coming together so that heroes like Amell's Green Arrow, Grant Gustin's The Flash, and Melissa Benoist's Supergirl could save the DC TV universe.
