I guess dude was too busy with numerous movie projects to make an appearance in the show that "made" him.

If I remember correctly, he's doing voice work now. I think he played the Flash in Justice League, but yeah it's a punk move to not at least give fans of the show one more go.

If he's doing voice work its likely because he's typecast in that role, even if it is on a low rated network. Sure it's how people know him, but it may be all they ever know him for.

I'm coming to the conclusion that all this shit is just HYPE!!! for the series' finale.

I truly feel that it's in the bag that Rosenbaum's coming back.

i stopped watching when Lana got Clark's powers. they were holding Kryptoninte and got struck by lighting.

that shit happened like 4 times already by that time.

i was like how many cot damn times are they gonna use the same fucking plot device???

and i couldnt stand Lana by then.

so i stopped watching, i think that was 3 or 4 years ago. i didnt see *snicker* Lil Bow Wow playing a *snicker* tough guy.

so yeah, i understand. dude is saying: this show FUCKING SUCKS, AND I DON'T WANNA BE A PART OF THAT BULLSHIT NO MO.

Interestingly on the forum for smallville for that particular episode, those white folks were tripping writing stuff like "why do hey have to bring those kinds of actors to the smallville world"?

Smallville Exclusive! Michael Rosenbaum Back for Series Finale: 'I'm Doing It For the Fans'

The small-screen Superman mythos just breathed an enormous sigh of relief.

After nearly a year of will-he-or-won’t-he speculation, Michael Rosenbaum has inked a deal to reprise his role as Smallville‘s Lex Luthor in the two-hour season finale airing May 13, TVLine has learned.

“I’m delighted to return for the series finale,” Rosenbaum tells TVLine exclusively. “I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.”

The actor continues, “I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he’s destined to be.”

Executive producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson say of Rosenbaum’s encore, “It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn’t be more excited. And as far as the way he returns… there’ll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent’s life. He is the villain of the story.”

Rosenbaum’s return was considered by many to be the missing piece of the show’s 10th final run, which has welcomed back alums such as John Schneider and Annette O’Toole (as Jonathan and Martha Kent) and John Glover (Lionel Luthor), and later this season Laura Vandervoort (Kara/Supergirl) and Callum Blue (Zod).

But having Lex back in the flesh — given the series’ wrap-up and a season-long storyline strongly hinting at the supervillain’s return — seemed almost imperative. At the time that Smallville‘s final season was announced, series star/exec producer Tom Welling expressed that he would “definitely” like to have Rosenbaum back, saying, “With Clark propelled into being Superman, how do you do it without a Lex Luthor? That just doesn’t make sense to me.”

Indeed.

Rosenbaum last appeared on Smallville in May 2008, for the Season 7 finale. Prior to his encore as Lex, he next can be seen in a recurring role on the Fox comedy Breaking In, which premieres April 6.

Smallville fans, does it make it a bit easier to bid the show farewell knowing that the finale will feature what is sure to be an iconic showdown?

It was someone on this board who suggested to watch I had forgot about this show.. I knew it was still on but I tunes out a long time ago.

I saw the first episode this season and I went back and looked a the previous season and I saw the character development and growth of the show. Shit deserves its following. It ain't half bad

I've watched it from the beginning..sure theirs growth..but that doesnt mean its good. after season 7...forget about it waste of time. Clark vs. doomsday lasted 1 min, that was the total fight time.

Michael Rosenbaum should be Lex in the upcoming Superman movie. That'll make up for the Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne.
