Tom Welling Explains Why His Arrowverse Clark Kent Felt Different (Intentionally) To Smallville’s

Tom Welling returned as Clark Kent years after Smallville ended for the Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, which made a major change to the character, and the actor has explained why the older version of Clark felt different. Over the course of Smallville‘s ten seasons, DC fans got to watch as Welling’s Clark went from a high school boy learning about his origins and developing his powers to becoming Superman in Smallville‘s final episode. When Welling was announced to return as Clark for the Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths, many fans imagined that he was finally going to fully suit up as Superman, which did not happen.
