OK so this image is now over a week old (damn my lethargy!) but here is the first official image of Brian Austin Green as Metallo from season 9 of Smallville.
As with most Smallville character rehash's he doesn't really resemble the Metallo I know from the comics or cartoon series', with his Kryptonite heart looking like it's attached by a facehugger from Aliens on the outside of his chest... but still, it's always good to see more Superman villains enter the Smallville world, crappy or not.
And has anyone recently thought that the main complaint most people have about the Smallville story lines (re-writing Superman history) can now be answered by using the new Star Trek movie theory? ALTERNATE UNIVERSE/ TIMELINE? Think about it, in Star Trek the whole history of their canon universe has been re-written just to suit the new movies without the need to worry about what happens down the line with the original series right through to Voyager. You consider that the writers have done this for Superman's history over 9 years ago and you come to realise that everything we know about Supes and his universe can really change if the studios want it too... Are you bothered? Probably not, but it's interesting nonetheless that Star Trek really put this new "acceptable" trend in the limelight!
