Rosenbaum Returning as Lex Luthor!

Fans have been wondering for a while now, and rumors have abounded everywhere, but now the truth comes out! On May 13th, the series finale to the CW’s long-running Smallville hits and its greatest antagonist is along for the ride. Michael Rosenbaum, played the role of Lex Luthor for the first seven seasons of Smallville’s run and was declared dead so Rosenbaum could pursue other acting opportunities. It seems you can keep a good megalomanic down though, as TVLine reports after much speculation, Michael Rosenbaum is indeed coming back, and he had a few words to say about the matter.

“I’m delighted to return for the series finale, I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.”

The fans of Smallville can indeed be vocal, but I am sure this is something that brings a smile to their collective faces.
