New artwork inspired by the next Arrowverse crossover events depicts Smallville star Tom Welling reprising his role as Superman.
Last month, The CW revealed that Smallville star Tom Welling would be reprising his role as Clark Kent in the five-part Arrowverse crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths. In addition, Tom Welling will also be joined by his Smallville co-star Erica Durance as Lois Lane, though Michael Rosenbaum won’t be back as Lex Luthor. Ever since the actor was announced to return, fans have been eager to see Tom Welling in any new images and footage they can find — particularly if he gets to wear the iconic Superman suit.
A digital artist who goes by “mizuriofficial” on Instagram has shared his own take on Tom Welling as Superman for the Arrowverse crossover. Just the image of Tom Welling in the iconic Superman suit can certainly get the most hardcore fans of Smallville and the Arrowverse hyped. You can see Smallville star Tom Welling as Superman below.

The next Arrowverse event has been teased since the very first episode of Grant Gustin’s The Flash, where a newspaper headline from the year 2024 revealed the Barry Allen’s fate was to disappear during a “crisis.” However, the fifth season finale of the Grant Gustin series accelerated this when the original newspaper headline changed the date of the event from 2024 to 2019. To add to this, the seventh season finale of Arrow set up Oliver Queen’s role in the next crossover by having him join the Monitor on a mission to warn other worlds of the crisis, as part of the arrangement the Green Arrow made in order to save the lives of both The Flash and Supergirl.
In addition to the regular cast members of each Arrowverse series, Crisis will also feature appearances by Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, Brandon Routh as Clark Kent/Superman and Ray Palmer / The Atom, LaMonica Garrett as the Anti-Monitor, Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, Tom Cavanagh as Pariah, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne, Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex, Erica Durance as Lois Lane and Tom Welling as Clark Kent / Superman. Burt Ward is also on board in an undisclosed role.
Crisis will span two quarters and consist of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman. The Arrowverse crossover will launch with three episodes in December before concluding with two additional episodes in January.
