One of the hottest shows on television today is The Flash on The CW, and rumor has it that it’s only going to get better this season; Warning, some spoilers are ahead. First of all, it certainly appears fans may not have seen the last of Firestorm even though he “died” earlier this season. Grodd is allegedly coming back, too. The bigger possibility is that the rumors of Tom Welling appearing as Superman from Smallville are starting to gain some speed again, and there is a chance that he could show up Season 2 on The Flash.

 The biggest rumor that started going around earlier this year was that Tom Welling would be appearing on this season of The Flash. Not only would he be appearing, but he would show up as Superman/Clark Kent, reprising his role from the hit show Smallville.

Not only do rumors say he will be showing up, but he’ll be in the Superman suit. That is something that was not seen on Smallville until the series finale and even then, it was just in small glimpses and not seen much at all.

 The original rumor came from Reddit and it came about around April of this year. Executive producer Greg Berlanti said that Superman (Welling) may show up on Season 2 of The Flash, but it’s the rest of the rumor that adds more credibility to it.

“Now, from what I gather, this Superman is going to be played by Tom Welling and his Superman may or may not be tied to Smallville but I think that the end season 1 would introduce an alternate timeline where Superman exists and Caitlin and Cisco are metahumans.”

The interesting part of that is the final sentence where an “alternate timeline” could exist to bring in Superman. So far this season, the alternate universes including Earth-1 and Earth-2 have been introduced along with a total of 52 universes or…infinite earths.
