  • Smallville Execs Thank Star for Lex Appeal, Tease Doomsday's Arrival | Today's News: Our Take | 5/2/2008
    A joint statement from Smallville's new quartet of show runners, the CW and Warner Bros. Television pays proper due to Michael Rosenbaum, who won't be returning next season as a series regular.
