摘要：《超人前传》第九季将于9月25日周五回归，而粉丝们很有可能将看到两集连放的反派大外传。据悉布莱恩·奥斯丁·格林将以DC漫画著名反派人物金属魔约翰·科本的身份加盟《超人前传》。

When Smallville returns on September 25 (a Friday), fans will be treated to two episodes of villains and spin-offs (?!) Word on the street is that Brian Austin Green is coming to Smallville as the DC Comics villain Metallo, aka John Corben.

According to DC lore, Corben is a Daily Planet journalist and a thief who was rescued in a near-death accident that left only his brain functioning. He was given a robotic body with a flesh-like skin and a kryptonite power-source for a heart. It would be interesting to find out how his path will cross with Clark Kent (Tom Welling).

Ausiello also scooped that Green turned down a full-time role at One Tree Hill for a spot at Smallville. And Austin apparently is campaigning to star as Hal Jordan in the Warner Bros’ superhero movie “Green Lantern”.

In addition, TV Guide wrote that Sam Witwer was invited back to Smallville season 9 for several episodes but, and quote “at this time the portrayer of Davis/Doomy has no plans to return”.

《超人前传》第九季将于9月25日周五回归，而粉丝们很有可能将看到两集连放的反派大外传。据悉布莱恩·奥斯丁·格林将以DC漫画著名反派人物金属魔约翰·科本的身份加盟《超人前传》。

根据DC漫画的资料，科本是《星球日报》的记者，但他同时也是一个小偷，在一出致命的意外中，他只留下了自己的脑功能。他被赋予了机器人的身躯和仿真的皮肉，并以氪石作为心脏的原动力。他的故事将如何与克拉克·肯特的相交错实在令人期待。

《娱乐周刊》的Ausiello同时透露格林为了能在《超人前传》中有一席之地，甚至不惜推掉了《篮球兄弟》中的一个常规角色。他另外还在华纳兄弟的另一部超级英雄电影《绿灯笼》中争夺男主角Hal Jordan这一角色。

此外，TV Guide则透露饰演Davis也就是Doomy一角的Sam Witwer很有可能不愿意回到剧中。
