Brian Austen Green, best known as Derek Reese in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is all set to appear as Metallo/John Corben in the ninth Season of Smallville.



He will appear in at least the first two episodes of Season 9, and the Smallville version of the longtime Superman villain will be introduced as Daily Planet journalist John Corben, which is similar to the character's Silver Age era background in the comics.

i find it hard to care about any Smallville news anymore after season 8. Season 7 was awful b ut 8 started off looking like it would be so much better even without Lex (which it was for the first few episodes) then they screwed it up with the whole Lana having powers storyline, the crap way they brought back 'Lex' and a 22 episode boring build up to a Superman/Doomsday fight that ended with Doomsday punching Clark twice (with Clark never throwing a single punch) only to end the season with the worst finale I have ever seen.

Thank god Supernatural is worth watching.

REESSE as a TERMINATOR basically, nahhhhhh lol!

JOSH @ I totally agree with you! That was the the WEAKEST SMALLVILLE i ever saw too! The build up was so crap, mans it should've been a best season finale ever ffs!

Just for the record, i never did want DOOMSDAY in SMALLVILLE but with him and all them CAMEOS it should've been fragging Awesome an it wasn't just a waste, An JIMMY dying wtf???? WTF, CHLOE basically needed to FRIG off an say bye bye since season 2, damn i hate dat anoyin' b!tch lol!

I loved all these DC cameos etc but since season 7, CLARK should've gone an it should've been renamed GREEN ARROW or something ffs! Used to be my fav show dammit! : D

I don't get it, this news should be in MAIN????

I personally think CBM's should reformat the front page so all Articles are shown! Trust me, half the people that click on this site don't even know anything but the MAIN page! ; )

MarkCassidy - 6/18/2009, 7:14 AM
Leee do you realize the amount of pointless, irrelevant, downright silly stuff that would show up if all the articles were visible? Not to mention all of the double posts. If its front page worthy it finds its way there eventually. And if anyone cant figure out that there are more than one tab, well i think you will agree thats there problem! Its not exactly complicated

As for Green, i cant say im too happy about Little Miss Muffett on Smallville, but then again we did already have Tori Spelling! Maybe they are trying to get a 90210 reunion going...thats what the show feels like these days anyway!

ROR @ But that would be fun lol! ; D

Okay, i get ya point heh heh.

Yeah i feel the same about GREEN lol! Hey ROR @ Do you watch that new 90201???? I ain't been brave enough! I hate TORI SPELLING arrrrr Smallville90210 : D

Its no different the the batman movie who had Dawons creek actor on it
Hairyman
Hairyman - 6/18/2009, 7:28 AM
Best known from Terminator? Really? I would have said 90210.
hawkngo
hawkngo - 6/18/2009, 7:45 AM
yo supermike who was the dawson creek star in the batman movie? i dont recall none in TDK??? Man i'm hoping Clark will fly instead of leaping.....and the fight scenes are longer, better too...
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/18/2009, 7:47 AM
He means Katie Holmes in Begins..i think! And she came a long way from Dawsons Creek before starring in that movie..even though she was the weakest element of it!

I hate this douche and anyone else from the 90210 cast. I dont care what they've done since.

longbowhunter- How is he a douche its not like he Ledger and walk out on his family or did drugs and if your judging him on a TV show then is it that is truly Immature

Brian Austen Green as 'Metallo' - why the hell not? His acting IS rather robotic! I say it's a perfect fit! Could this be considered TYPECASTING (LOL)?
hawkngo
hawkngo - 6/18/2009, 8:12 AM
yes the hawk there can be only one! and i'm sure i'm the one!! lol aight thanks i forgot that Katie Homles even existed...oh MRS Tom!..oh there it is..oops..man i'm hoping clark indeed does fly don the suit, gets the girl, kicks ass in smallville instead of beating off under the desk at the DP and lois always gives him that look "I know what your doing", The Tess really wants to blow him...Geez why cant they just have an awsome season instead of alot of dialog, few fight scenes, where clark gets his ass kicked then in some mircale he pushes the bad guy and bam its over!! SEASON 9 Metallo, The Planteer, Lois in the Future with the LEGION!!!!!!
Chole missing clark !@#$

True....

I only read the Main Page....

TheDurkinKnight - 6/18/2009, 8:52 AM
I liked him on 90210 but he got my respect on "Terminator." I think he's a good choice...not that anything good will come of it cause we've seen just how willing the producers of Smallville are to screw us with crap filled letdowns.

If this is going to be their last season then I hope they do not continue to let the fans down. I have been watching this show from the beginning and the only highlight of this season as mainly the Legion. The Doomsday fight was a huge let down though. Brian Austen Green doesn't bother me being on the show eiter.

hawkngo- On which screen exactly have you EVER seen Superman in a decent fight, without getting his ass handed to him on a flamin' stick, against an equally powered foe, without having to resort to S labeled shrink wrap to prevail??? HMMMMMMMMM???????? It never happened. And it never will unless they let the Watchowski brother & sister "unleash" him. Christ almighty they even had a ninja kick his ass in Lois&Clark... A [frick]ING NINJA!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

Hey supermike I never claimed to be mature. I think he is a douche, he looks like that dude Snow from the early 90's without the glasses. I have the right to hate on who I want.
Supermike
Supermike - 6/18/2009, 9:37 AM
Actually you don't Hate is a sin and something that coward who life will never mean anything do

Supermike, I couldnt make sense of your last post. I think you were trying to state that I'm a sinner as well as immature. Well congrats, your right on both accounts!

Damn! I had no idea so many people hated Smallville. I know it's going downhill, but still......

longbowhunter - 6/18/2009, 11:08 AM
Hey I still dig Smallville. The early episodes were better, but now we're getting more characters from the books. I still make sure to tune in every week.
InstigatorGIRL
InstigatorGIRL - 6/18/2009, 11:26 AM
Same here. I have said I'm not gonna watch Smallville this next season, but alas, I know I will.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/18/2009, 11:59 AM
In fairness, Smallville was never must see tv. It always had good episodes along the way but it was never consistent enough and pandered to the 90210 crowd far too often. Add to that some pretty wooden acting and you have a mediocre show that we all watch because theres superheros in it!

Instigirl(i shortened that shit!) lmao, man i remeber letting outburst like that towards Mike so many times..as will Shaman, Hawk etc. You get used to him..plus i think he feeds off our anger!
