It's official Michael Rosenbaum will reprise his role as Lex Luthor for the final season of Smallville. Here is a little reminder to those that forgot about Superman's No. 1 enemy and actor behind the villain. Music: Power - Kanye West
I love the evolution of Lex Luthor throughout the series. As a child that grew up on Batman, Smallville really helped me appreciate Superman and his perspective / story. While I'd always liked Lex Luthor to an extent, this show really sold me on the character (especially Rosenbaum's sympathetic portrayal) and I'm personally enamored with the Luthor perspective (human-centric). Likewise, the portrayal of Lionel Luthor was just spectacular, and really gave you context for Lex.
That's because Smallville is the story before Superman. It is not only young Clark learning to be Superman but also Lex learning his unfortunate fate. The ending of Smallville is the beginning of Superman.
No one can play Lex Luthor the way Rosenbaum can. To me he played him to perfection and beyond. I seriously missed him when they took him off the show, but I'm thrilled and so excited that he's coming back for the finale. I have no doubt the finale is going to be amazing! :D

this video is pretty beast, but "kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep" is the real shit. episode subterranean on smallville. and u'r damn right about that walk: pure gansta!
@theprisonbreak The "Money and Power" speech is at the end of the Season 5 episode Lexmas... and the walking scene is at the end of "Subteranean" in Season 6.... and awful episode but the greatest ending ever!
@dave1122drum Lucas Grabeel's Clone Alexander has just been revealed as "Connor Kent", and Rosie has stated he will wear a bald cap... therefore he will be the REAL Lex Luthor!
