I can do without Lana anyday of the week, but losing two critical cast members cannot be good. Especially when one of them is Clark’s nemesis.

Yet the series WILL continue without both, and we’ll be getting a few new villains to cause Clark restless nights on the farm.

The first will be Davis Bloome, a charismatic paramedic in Metropolis. He has a growing darkness inside him, and fans of the series are thinking he just might be Doomsday, the invincible villain that kills Superman in the comics.

Bloome will be played by Sam Witwer, who was most recently was on Battlestar Galactica as Alex “Crashdown” Quartararo.

Cassidy Freeman is also joining the cast and will play Tess Mercer, Lex’s hand-picked successor.
