User blog comment:TimeShade/It's OFFICIAL: Tom Welling reprises Smallville role!/@comment-1984959-20190920042118

There's a lot to say about this news. For starters, I'm a guy of simple tastes. While I have used Netflix fora while, wasn't sure about Hulu until we had a free offer from Spotify. Being new to Hulu, I looked around for anything I'm interested in that I've yet to see. Smallville happened to pop up and given the numerous references in the Arrowverse, I thought, "Eh, what the heck?" So in a matter of about a month or so, I caught up on all 10 seasons. But that's another story for another time. The short version, I enjoyed it for the most part, especially as a fan of the original Christopher Reeve Superman films. Of course, in my opinion at least, I love the Arrowverse much more.

As far as now, the crossovers are definitely the benefit of being a fan and this years sounds like the biggest yet. While I was WAY more excited by confirmation of Kevin Conroy appearing (being a Bat-fan), Tom Welling returning as Clark Kent is pleasant news. That said, I'm predicting this won't be more than a return that will result in the death of Smallville! I'm basing this off of Welling's previous comments on not wanting to return as the Man of Steel, kinda like Harrison Ford with Han Solo, and Star Wars fans know how his story ended. But I could be wrong and it ends up being epic appearance. Either way, I'm "super" excited, pun intended!

To end on a more comedic note. We have both Brandon Routh and Tom Welling returning as Supermen, and you got Kevin Conroy appearing as live-action Bruce Wayne. Since DC fans are getting their wishes granted...I want Mark Hamill appearing, please. Whether it's Trickster from Earth-1 or Earth 3, a first live-action Joker, make it happen!

Regarding how it affects the Smallville and the Arrowverse Wikis, it's difficult. I will say that as much as I want all the information in one place, it also doesn't seem right to dismiss too much of the past. Of course, it depends of what ultimately happens, before the Crisis and after. I support any decision the admin of both Wikis come to.
