The Official Michael Rosenbaum Thread

[The Caped Knight]

This weekend there is a convention called Insurgence Convention in London. Michael Rosenbaum is also there and represents Smallville. A fan was there and here are some snippets:

Wonderful panel & chat session with Michael. When asked about a SV return, he said "We'll see" and indicated that talk is happening. It definitely wasn't a 'no'. More of an 'It's possible...' He also said if he returns, it will be in a bald cap. Michael mentioned again how fond he is of SV cast & crew. Mentioned all the attention he's been getting from Tom lately!

Awesome. Hope we finally get a confirmation soon on whether he'll be back or not.

 

[Karelia]

Awesome! The only thing that could make me more excited for this season is him coming back. I don't blame him for wearing a bald cap, though.

I guess Tom really has been trying to get him back, haha, that's great.

 

[al35077]

I just hope the bald cap isnt obviously a fake

 

[smooth3006]

im almost 100% that michael will be back at least for the final episode.

I just hope the bald cap isnt obviously a fake

I'd prefare IF he was to return he shaved his head & did a few episodes, however wearing a bald cap wouldn't be that bad.

Zack Braff wore a bald cap in Scrubs for a few episodes that looked quite realistic.. and he had much thicker & bigger hair than Rosenbaum currently has.

 

[smooth3006]

any word yet or will this be a hush, hush type of deal?

 

[John Locke]

No word yet and if it is a hush hush deal we wouldn't know it.

 

[SpideyVille]

If Michael comes back, I really hope he has a scene with Tess. I remember reading an interview somewhere from around the start of season 8, where he called Cassidy Freeman and was like "This is Lex." And when she called him Michael, he corrected her again and said "No, this is Lex."

 

[smooth3006]

no mention of micheal coming back worries me alot. he MUST be in the finale. how many shows have they taped so far and how many are we getting this season?

 

[SpideyVille]

I think they're up to 7 or 8, and we should be getting the usual 22, unless they do something with the finale being a two-parter or something. I think it would best be kept a secret so that Michael's return could be a surprise to the viewer, and honestly I would prefer it that way. That's one surprise I don't want to see spoiled.

 

[annie.j88]

just as long as it's a good performance and not a half hearted one-i want to see MR there because he wants to be there not because of peer pressure

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't know why he doesn't want to shave his head for old time's sake? It's not like he has to do it on such a regular basis as before, especially if it's only for the finale. It will grow back, and if he's being paid money to do it, then why not? I don't know how realistic a bald cap will look.

 

[RAMORE]

Oh I hope he's back for like the final 4 episodes at least!

 

[marvelrobbins]

I think he will return for the series finale.He might show up at the end of the next to last episode.In the finale Lex needs to publicly return.And set up LexCorp(not Luthorcorp)
and beguin to establish the benelovent businessman In public but ruthless guy In private
who basiclly ruins Metropolas.And he needs to stay In Metropolas.No going back to
Smallville.Of course the bigger question Is how will they deal with Lex knowing Clark's secret.My personal perfernce was something happened to his memory causing him to lose
that knowledge.

 

[annie.j88]

i agree.

 

[SpideyVille]

I agree, they need to set up Lex's future by the finale. He should create Lexcorp and move back to Metropolis. Though I wouldn't mind Lex knowing his secret if they play it off as he knows Clark is Superman but doesn't tell anybody because he is too prideful and wants to destroy him in his own, so he won't expose him to the public.

 

[Webhead2006]

i really hope they can score michael for some time by the end of the season. The lex clones for the start seems to be a nice way to bring lex back into the story.

 

[DaJanksta]

But that guy killed all the other clones and he said the original lex is dead. the kid Alexander is still alive though. Maybe he will grow super fast into lex? ugh I don't like it I wish the real Lex was just alive somewhere.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i know the clones were destroyed minus the little alexander one. I was just saying prior to the episode doing this clone storyline is a nice way to bring lex character back into the show's storyline for now. I am curious to see where they will go with little lex and what the plan is if michael is back. As for bald cap issues i am sure they would do their best to make it look real on michael.

Dajanksta another thought to think is sure the old lex clone said that the "creator" was killed. But what if that creator was just lex's first working clone which lex used for his games on clark/lana. Then he was killed by ollie with the truck. Then the Real lex could still be comatase/healing at another lab of his and all that. Or the growing theory some same that maybe the little lex grows through the season and ends up at the proper age and that is what they do for lex.

The only problem I have with the little kid is that he said himself he wasn't perfect, but then I guess at the same time, he still has Lex's DNA, so it's possible that maybe someone uses that DNA to go and make another clone which comes out perfect. But if they choose to make that kid grow up fast and become the real Lex, I hope they get the actors who played him in flashbacks to show him through the ages. It would be weird to see him go from 8 to 28 in such a short time.

But I like that idea of the Lex that died being a clone of the real Lex who may still be hurt and recovering somewhere. Though that might take some serious retconning to pull off. Not that they haven't done it before.

 

[Webhead2006]

i dont see how it would be such a retcon to say the lex in the truck was just a clone many of us fans were thinking that way back in season 8 anyway. So it could work. As for little lex sure he isnt perfect but he is still living and maybe over time grows more healthy or tess works on him/darkseid does something to him to make him better.

 

[DaJanksta]

Yea It's a little complicated. I'd just rather have them say the real lex is still out there alive. That would keep him in the shadows and able to appear whatever episode they want if rosie comes back. I hope he does. It's needed.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea there is ways they can go.

 

[Mr. Majestic]

I bet if he does come back the rating are going to jump very high. I know i can't wait for his return. I just hope its not the last episode that he makes his decision to come back on, that would be great and blow at the same time.
