The ten-year run of “Smallville” is in the rearview mirror now, but that doesn’t mean the record-breaking series has faded from the minds of its cast or fans. MTV News recently caught up with actress Laura Vandervoort, who played Supergirl in a recurring role on the show the last few seasons.

“I really enjoyed being on ‘Smallville,’” said Vandervoort when asked about saying goodbye to her character, Kara, and the rest of the “Smallville” universe.

“Season 7 was really the year the fans got to know me, and I was able to return a couple times and I’m happy we were able to wrap it up for the fans and I was able to say goodbye,” she added.

However, Vandervoort said there was one aspect of her character’s departure that she would’ve changed, given the chance.

“I’m a little upset that Kara did not get to say goodbye to Clark personally,” she said. “She just kind of watched from afar. But overall, ‘Smallville’ is fantastic and they did such a great job.”

In the season 10 poster we see Clark standing on a metallic “S” shield, and we see Superman reflected in the shield. What most of us don’t see is the actual suit.

The suit from the poster is very similar to Superman’s classic suit, but without bright red underwear on the outside of his tights.

Instead, we have a few geometric patterns that create the same shape underwear would make. (so it’s like underwear….but not). There are also two shades of blue in the suit instead of a solid color.

There are extra seams and line designs featured in the suit as well. There is also an obvious update the the “S” on the chest of the suit. I don’t know why this suit never made it to television. I love it!

This super suit has the same feel as the classic Superman, but with a few modern touches.

It seems the folks at Smallville played it safe with not really showing a suit at all. What do you guys think of the poster suit?

“FUNNY HOW THIS HAPPENS RIGHT BEFORE HIS COURT HEARINGS”

 

 

According to sources connected with the ex-couple, Karissa pulled a cruel bait-and-switch before she dumped the actor.

First, she told Jones she needed to move back into the Playboy mansion for professional reasons … but after he helped her pack up her stuff … she dropped the hammer, confessing she was actually moving in with her twin sister … and their relationship was over.

Sigh. And we were JUST starting to get that damn song out of our heads.

Tom Welling will forever be known for playing Clark Kent on Smallville, though the CW drama ended in May. What does he have to say about the show and any future projects? What’s the likelihood of a movie coming about for these characters?

A Smallville movie?

Tom WellingWelling told OnTheRedCarpet.com Smallville is “why [he's] here.” He did say that they talked about doing a movie “when the characters were moving from high school to what will be college. We played with the idea and what we found was there wasn’t time.” Still, even without a movie, they did show that transition to college and Metropolis while keeping Smallville still around pretty well.

Just because the series ended, that doesn’t mean fans aren’t hoping for a movie in the future, and when asked if he would want to be part of it, Tom Welling’s answer was “Sure, I don’t see why not.” The series ended with a look into the future, showing Clark and Lois working at the Daily Planet, still trying to get to their wedding, Jimmy Olsen around once again, and Clark running off to save people to that famous Superman theme. If they did decide to do a movie, where would it pick up?

Would you want to see a Smallville movie with Tom Welling as Clark Kent once again? What would you want to see if one came about? Who would you want to see return for it?

Richard Donner in Burbank in May 2011 (Carl Samrock)

The character of Superman endures through the decades like, well, a Man of Steel. In comics books, on television, in film, in video games, even on Broadway  and beyond, the famous red cape flies on and on, even when the textures and attributes of the hero fluctuate for the era and the audience. For many fans — especially those under 50 – their mental image of Superman is the face of Christopher Reeve and the film universe of director Richard Donner.

On Tuesday, our Geoff Boucher sat down with Donner to chat about “Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology (1978-2006),” which arrives as a new Blu-ray boxed set from Warner Bros. on June 7, and about his upcoming appearance at the Hero Complex Film Festival. Donner directed the 1978 film starring Reeve and also shot footage for the sequel, 1981′s “Superman II,” but never finished the film after a bitter split with the producers. In 2006, a version of that could-have-been sequel was released on DVD as “Superman II: The Donner Cut,” which will be given a rare theatrical screening on June 11 at the festival.

GB: Superman, the character, persists, but every generation finds its own version. Of all those versions, I’d say none of them loom bigger in the modern imagination than yours. That must be very satisfying for you. 

RD: Yes, it is satisfying. I don’t think about it, but when you s
