First Look At Metallo
Tue, August 18, 2009 
Fellow TMT writer Sean Gerski had previously reported on Brian Austin Green being cast as Smallville villain Metallo, and now two months later, comes this still of the Kryptonite fueled cyborg within the pages of the latest issue of TV Guide.
The September 25th season premiere will start a two-episode arc featuring the character of John Corben, a new Daily Planet reporter. Corben suffers an accident and finds himself mysteriously outfitted with a kryptonite heart.
In the TV Guide interview Smallville executive producer Kelly Souders refused to reveal the identity of Metallo’s benefactor, but stated that this will be “a rough version of Metallo, a first attempt at the technology, and eventually he’ll get sleeker.”
‘Eventually‘? Sounds to me like Metallo might last longer than some two episode story arc.
“Well of course—it’s Smallville,” she says with a laugh. “We’re actually throwing some ideas around right now in the hopes that we might be able to bring him back for another episode.”

Looks awesome.
I haven't watched Smallville for a couple of seasons now, but I have to say I dig that design.
This looks like it's going to be AWESOME. I'm glad it's going to be more than one episode too.
Now Brian Austin Green is a Terminator. How Nice :)
