Clark Kent in Batman Begins?
This is big, big news if it turns out to be true ... Someone has sent SuperHeroHype a supposed call sheet from the set of Batman Begins which lists a call time for a "T. Welling" to appear as "Kent". Obvious conclusion? Either someone has just pulled off one fantastic hoax or Tom "Smallville" Welling has a cameo in the new Batman film as Clark Kent. If this turns out to be true chances are all those 'Welling Playing Superman on the Big Screen' rumors actually point to this film rather than the Bryan Singer production, though there's nothing really to say that he couldn't do both ...

If I ever though there could be an odder mix of words, I don't anymore. Spammer alert Day-vuh.

Could just be a case of using the net to hype people up for the new Superman? Just to keep it in our minds and keep the gossip columns ticking over.
I wouldn't mind seeing him as Superman outside of the Dawsons Creek stylings of the TV show. Infact, I'd like him to take the role.
Then again, this is early Batman, so I guess (if he does show up) he might still be a fairly young Superman. A case of cross-promotion, and the actual Sup' film will see someone else take the role.
