TheSmallvilleanimated sequel series gets imagined through gorgeousDCart with Tom Welling’s Superman and Michael Rosenbaum’s Lex Luthor. More than a decade after its ending, one of the most popularlive-actionSupermanTV showsis eying a potential comeback. After having played Clark Kent and Lex Luthor together, Welling and Rosenbaum are developing aSmallvilleanimated sequel TV show in hopes of getting it greenlit by Warner Bros. Discovery.
While theSmallvilleseries revival has yet to be properly commissioned by DC, many are still hoping for it to come to fruition. To see what it could look like,Kibar.Artmade designs for Welling and Rosenbaum’sSmallvilleanimated show through stunning fan art. Check it out below:
Kibar.Artalso made another design with an alternativeSmallvilleanimation style, featuring Welling and Rosenbaum as Superman and Lex Luthor.The cover is an homage toAdventures of Superman#586 by artist Mike S. Miller, where Lex and Superman are shaking hands on stage. Clark is wearing the classic Superman suit, red trunks and all, while Lex sports a blue suit with a red tie.
What The Animated Smallville Sequel Art Means For The DC TV Show
Seeing fan art still being made to this day for the hypotheticalSmallvillesequel TV showdemonstrates that the beloved DC TV show still has a massive fanbase worldwide. WithSmallvillehaving become available through streaming and new home media Blu-ray releases, theSupermanprequel is gaining a new audience every year. That’s howSmallvillecontinues to gain more popularity, thus why many want to see it come back for a revival.
It is not just the audience who wants to see it happen, as several actors have also made it clear that they are on board to join Welling and Rosenbaum’sSmallvillepitch. FromErica Durance (Lois Lane)toJames Marsters (Brainiac),there are many more stories to be told in this particular version of the Superman mythology. Whether it is adapting theSmallvilleseason 11 comic or taking inspiration from it,Welling and Rosenbaum’s show would also serve as a perfect fit for the Elseworlds banner at DC Studios.
Our Take On The Animated Smallville Sequel Artwork
The artwork by Kibar.Art perfectly makes a solid case that ifSmallvillecame back in animation, the potential would be endless. Without having to worry about the same concerns of a budget for a live-action approach,they would have more freedom in what they could do storywise with aSmallvillesequel. Hopefully, Welling and Rosenbaum’sSmallvillerevival will come to fruition sooner rather than later.
