Further to speculation that Michael Rosenbaum would be leaving Smallville, the CW Network has now confirmed his exit. Rosenbaum also thanked fans for supporting him in the series.

“It is time for me to start the next chapter of my life and career,” he said. “I hope that I gave you some enjoyment over the years, and that you found my portrayal of Lex Luthor to be satisfying. I am truly grateful, as Smallville fans are the best fans out there. I sincerely hope that you will continue to follow my career through my hair growth period and beyond.”

Producers have revealed details of two new villains for the eighth series.

Doomsday: In season eight, Clark will face his ultimate challenge with the appearance of the legendary, unstoppable destroyer Doomsday, who appears on Smallville for the first time. As comic book fans know, Doomsday is notorious for being the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed Superman.

Female villain: Doomsday won’t be Clark’s only nemesis in the upcoming season. The executive producers are tight-lipped about a new female villain they will be introducing, but they can say she will be familiar to many fans and will set her sights on Clark in ways Lex never could. Intelligent, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously sinister, our gorgeous new villain has one more weapon in her arsenal: Her mutual attraction with Clark may prove to be as deadly as kryptonite for him.

Smallville airs on TEN HD and on FOX8.

  1. I agree with sassy. I’m rewatching old eps on DVD and you can definitely see a change in the show.

    I think Rosenbaum was one of the main reason I watched the show. I’ll miss having Lex hanging around but will be interested to see what Rosenbaum does next.

  2. I think he had done everything he could with the character. In fact, they have done everything they can with the program!
    It was a favourite of mine for years but they lost me with Kara (Supergirl). I hate her even more the Lana and that is saying something:)
