September 9, 2009: Tom Welling Talks Season 9 of "Smallville"

In his first "Smallville" interview in years, Tom Welling speaks with TV Guide Magazine about the up-coming 9th season of the show and how it differs from previous seasons. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    In the clip reel we just saw Clark is wearing a dark outfit with the Superman symbol on his chest. What's that all about?

    That is the symbol of the House of El. I've gotten away for many years with the blue t-shirt and the red jacket. Very easy wardrobe for me, very simple, straightforward, very comfortable. This new wardrobe, the leather jacket is a little warmer, you have to learn how to not step on your jacket when you're in a fight sequence. You learn that pretty quick - it doesn't take many times before you figure that out! Anyway, he's trying to establish a call sign for himself. Even though Clark isn't putting his own face out there it's his way of taking accountability for what he's doing.

    Will that symbol become known as the symbol of the Red Blue Blur?

    Yeah. This year he'll be known as the Blur. And there's a circumstance in the second episode where he's almost caught by Lois. And through some very interesting lighting we see the symbol, but we don't see Clark's face. And it's a perfect moment for him to step forward and say, "Lois, it's me," but he doesn't. Poor Lois. Because that's all she really wants to know.
