According to THR, Season 10 of Smallville will be the final season for the show.   The show stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent before the hero becomes the Superman of legend.  “Smallville” had better-than-anticipated ratings in a Friday night slot this past season.

Coming off a season with strong ratings, and with an ending in mind, perhaps “Smallville” can go to the task of definitively putting the Superman legend into place.   I think having Welling don a “Superman” suit would be a good way for the series to go out.
