And the bad news keeps on coming. Lex is leaving the show and Doomsday is coming in...... The "Smallville" producers, The CW, Warner Bros. Television, and Michael Rosenbaum announced Thursday that the actor will be leaving the show. First up, the statement from the former three, which also announces that Doomsday and a female antagonist will join the show for Season 8: Joint statement from "Smallville" Executive Producers Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson; The CW Network; and Warner Bros. Television regarding Michael Rosenbaum's departure from "Smallville": "It has been an honor and pleasure to work with Michael for the past six seasons. He is one of the best actors on television and has never failed to bring a new layer to the character of Lex Luthor in every episode. While Michael won't be a series regular and we won't have the pleasure of working with him on a weekly basis this fall, we like to think that we haven't seen the last of Lex Luthor. Stay tuned." Details for Season 8: Additionally, two new villains will join the cast of characters on "Smallville" this season: the legendary, unstoppable Doomsday, and a female antagonist who will challenge Clark in ways never before imagined. Casting is underway for both roles. Doomsday: In season eight, Clark will face his ultimate challenge with the appearance of the legendary, unstoppable destroyer Doomsday, who appears on "Smallville" for the first time. As comic book fans know, Doomsday is notorious for being the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed Superman. Female villain: Doomsday won't be Clark's only nemesis in the upcoming season. The executive producers are tight-lipped about a new female villain they will be introducing, but they can say she will be familiar to many fans and will set her sights on Clark in ways Lex never could. Intelligent, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously sinister, our gorgeous new villain has one more weapon in her arsenal: Her mutual attraction with Clark may prove to be as deadly as kryptonite for him. And Rosenbaum's statement: Dear Smallville Fans, Well, it's been seven wonderful years. Your support is what has made Smallville so successful, and I appreciate you all more than you know. That being said, it is time for me to start the next chapter of my life and career. I hope that I gave you some enjoyment over the years, and that you found my portrayal of Lex Luthor to be satisfying. I am truly grateful, as Smallville fans are the best fans out there. I sincerely hope that you will continue to follow my career through my hair growth period and beyond. I'm very excited about what the future holds, but certainly, Smallville will always be a part of me. I will definitely miss the greatest crew in the world, and the wonderful cast that has been like a family to me. Thank you Al and Miles for creating the show. Thank you writers, producers, directors and editors. Thanks Tollin, Robbins and Davola for being there for the pilot. Thank you Peter Roth for employing me for ten years. Lisa Lewis, I miss you already. John Glover, thanks for helping me feel more comfortable touching other actors, while acting. Bizarre, but helpful. Mostly, I want to thank Greg Beeman for directing the "Oh Sherry" video, by Steve Perry, back in the 80's. Thanks crew. Thanks fans. Thanks Smallville. I love you all, Michael Rosenbaum

Just saw the pic, here is my review i just posted on my myspace page, no spoilers but a few easter eggs if you don't catch them First on the chopping block is Iron Man. I am a fan so over course I was expecting a lot out of it. First of all Robert Downey Jr. is the man and is perfect casting. Second Jon Faveru (can't spell his name), the director of Elf and Zathura and Vince Vaughn's best friend came hard in his action movie directorial debut. This movie is fun and exciting. Whether you are an old school Iron Man fan or just like RDJ and company you will not be disappointed. The movie stayed very true to the comic origins without straying to much like other have. (See Spider-man, and the X-Men.) Sure it isn't an all action movie but most origin stories aren't. It is very funny, and really really smart. They did their home work and research on the tech stuff. The suits are nothing short of amazing and the action scenes will put a huge smile on your face; and if they don't RDJ's wit and humor is sure to win you over. Also for the fans there are tons of nods for us. They don't say it but the Mandarin is in the film as the head terrorist in charge of the terrorist organizition the Ten Rings (hmmmmm...... cool huh?) The two F-22s we have seen from the trailer are code named Whiplash 1 and Whiplash 2 ( no that was not lost on me either); and although the Nick Fury cameo has been deleted ( I was waiting to see ole Sameul L Jackson but i guess i have to wait longer) S.H.E.I.L.D. does make it's presence known in the film. All in all it is a great movie and a great way to start off the season. I recommend all go and see it and you all know that I have great taste in films and I rarely disappoint. See you next week when I review the Wachowski's latest offering since the Matrix Trilogy, Speed Racer which I am sure will put me in an epilectic seizure from all the bright colors. The colors Duke the colors......old popsicle commercial. I'm out bitches.

I totally agree. It is the design other that i am dying to own other than the vf-4

God i love being in a place where we can pick apart everything then once we get the figure we rejoice in it's greatness (unless it has terrible QC problems), god bless macrossworld. I for one don't care about how big the legs are in battroid as long as it looks great as a whole not just one particular mode. (which i know it dumb since it is made to look great as a fighter) Anyway, this thing is lookin far better that my 1/72 FP version so that is what has me satisfied right now.

I liked that too. Why make us wait for what we all knew what would happen. You know despite it's flaws i do enjoy the show; and even though they don't want it to happen i guess in the very last episode i would love to see clark in the suit, and lex in his white suit in metropolis looking at "superman" fly through the sky. THat would be an amazing closer to the show. Of course with the Superman fanfare playing as well.

Wow um wow, i wonder if i could use that line......anyways worst actor ever well i have a new one. After watching some of his more recent movies like Awake and Jumper i nominate Hayden Christansen. I thought the Star Wars prequels was just because of bad directing but no he just sucks.

Oh i will but i figure the japanese might need some assistance too lol.

Well maybe its a good thing now i can use my stimulus check for it lol

I too have signed and the last count was 117385, and i am sure that will double if not triple in the next week or two.

More importantly with a Mac7 license I could have my VF-5000

Meh it looks like they are just showing how the arms transforms by removing the legs is all, not the actual delimiter mode, i don't think there is one but i have been wrong many of times before.

I saw it and enjoyed it. Apparently if you read the graphic novel first it explains a lot of the film, or you could just wikipedia it and read the details. It was a very different, artistic and ambition film that will not resonate with everyone but as i said i liked it. I especially like the very serious and dark turns a lot of comedians took for their roles it was interesting to say the least.

Yes wolverine is being done, it is production now. Interestingly enough there will just as many mutants in it as a regular X movie. Mutants confirmed are Beak, Blob, Gambit.....yes finally we are getting Gambit. He is being played by some kid from Friday Night Lights the tv show. Oh but if nothing else i do have on bit of info that will make the movie great no matter how bad it is. The have casted a perfect actor for the role he was born to play. Are you ready for it??? Ryan Reynolds is confirmed to play DEADPOOL!!!!!!!!! How f###ing great is that!?!?!?! That made the whole movie for me right there, i could care less about Wolvie or anything else, i just want to see Deadpool

Snyder is good at making adult films. I don't think he will dumb this down at all that would be blasphemy in it's greatest form. He held true to 300 so i am sure he will do the same for this.

Here some stills of the Hulk, the Abomination, and Bruce Banner

I don't think it is because he didn't want to. I think Marvel saw all the bad press and reviews and decided to do a Batman Begins reboot after just one movie lol. They say it won't be an origin story again but there will be elements of the origin in some form in the film.

The new trailer is out finally and well while i do like this cast much better than the last i will say that ILM from the first movie at least rendered a far better looking hulk. And despite what the nay sayers say i liked the first one, it dug into the psychological aspects of the hulk. I felt it was more accurate to the comics of late, and was happy that it wasn't a HULK SMASH!!! movie that everyone is hoping for. It looks like on June 13th those people will get the movie they wanted. I do have high hopes though since Norton is the star and wrote the film so it shouldn't be too bad.

That's what i am waiting for. I called Gamestop and the manager told me that if i can't preorder it he will just hold it for me and i will go and leave work early to pick it up.

More pics of characters

For those who haven't seen pics yet

It's the same director from 300. He seems pretty passionate about it and it looks really good and faithful from the few screen shots i have seen. Even Dave Gibbons himself is very pleased with out things are going. Alan Moore could care less as he does with all adaptations of his work. Funny for someone that hates the hollywood process so much I found it odd he did a recent episode of the Simpsons. It was funny but not something i would have seen the great Moore.

um they never made a great qualtiy product outside of Gundam until recently. They have screwed various other mech toys and models in the past and that has left a bad taste in people's mouth. For reference look at the Macross 7 line they produced back in the day.

I will agree that Die Harder was bad, but Die Hard with A Vengence was pretty good, if nothing else very entertaining.

I just picked up the military garland and i am loving it. It is so cool, i need another one to display in both modes.
