I always thought that we should have had Bruce Wayne pass through somehow . That would have been really cool to see . You know how Clark always got into the Luthor Mansion with no problem ? But like , if he had belong into Lex ’s office , and it was just as simple as Lex being like ' Good to encounter you , Bruce ' or ' I ’ll sing to you by and by , Bruce ' and have him just walk out . I think that would have been coolheaded !

As frustrating as it was to never be able to see Batman on the show , Smallvilleseason 11 was still a dandy chance to finally see Welling ’s Superman cross track with the Caped Crusader . Ifthe animatedSmallvillesequel idiot box showever moves onward , perhaps that will be a sentence when Welling will get to work alongside that persistence ’s version of Batman , even if it is in the world of vitality .
