While I hardly, if ever, watch the show, I couldn't help but be intrigued that, with the exit of Rosenbaum, they're introducing two new villains in the upcoming season. Now, remembering how fast Lois & Clark went downhill when Lex left the show, I knew it could be bad, but hoochie mama!

Question: Any additional info on the casting of Doomsday or the new female villain on Smallville? — Eric
Ausiello: As luck would have it, the official casting breakdowns went out last week, and here are the highlights:

Doomsday
• Real name: Davis Bloome
• He's in his mid-20s.
• He works as a bartender at the hip new Metropolis lounge Ace of Clubs (get it?).
• He plays down his smoldering good looks with a self-effacing wit and down-to-earth soulfulness. But he has long felt like an outsider (hence his nickname). And beneath his charismatic, easy-going demeanor lies a brooding sense of isolation and insecurity. When he begins to delve into the haunting mysteries of his true origins, a darker truth begins to emerge, one of blood and serial murders, one of survival and utter destruction — one in which he is forced to confront the true evil inside of him."

Despite smiling over the Ace of Clubs (Bibbo!), I can't help but laugh at 1) Clark meeting Doomsday before even becoming Superman, and 2) making Doomsday another CW heartthrob.

After learning of the Clarmy's crossover interest in breaking Lois/Clark up in the comics, I wonder if Doomsday will have fangirls now.
