- Copywrite info: Smallville is not my trademark, it belongs to the writers, the body of work of the actors and of course WB.i am simply uploading this clip as it was requested of me to upload it from a friend
first off, i'de like to apologize for the quality, i had a mishap with my video compression program, and so, the quality came out bad, and had no time to re-encode as i deleted the original files i had ripped, im not going to re-encode, so im uploading as is. the quality is still good enough to watch, unfortunately its not to what my standards usually are for uploading, and for that i apologize.
I am uploading these virgil swann scenes as it was requested of me from some people, apparently they really missed these scenes and wanted to see them again, so here they are!
This is the last scene i am uploading as Virgil swann and lionel luthor meet up.
started his career in superman, ended his career in superman.
I'm very pleased Smallville was his final acting role, reminding everyone that he IS Superman.
@@timrob12 and Superman Returns was a movie dedicated to him and his wife.
@@ericsantana1184 And Brandon Routh returned as Superman in Crisis on Infinite Earths. They're all paying homage to each other.
I'd love to see a kingdom come movie based on the comic book from the DC Universe as long as Alex Ross is the narrator and this movie pays tribute to Christopher Reeve and his wife Diane Reeve but also dedicate this movie to Adam West and even though she is not dead she is very much alive dedicate this movie to Lynda Carter. It would be a tremendous honor to honor the original Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
@@ericsantana1184 I know some voice actors like Jess Harnell do some very convincing Adam West impressions. So, they could have Jess narrate it like Adam West. Or use his lookalike from Misadventures of Adam and Burt.
Paralysed from the neck down, cant move and yet steals the scene.
What an actor. What a legacy.
Literally my idol, childhood hero.
Love this guy, wish I could have met him.
Having him play his final acting role in a Superman related series is the best way to go.
We won't get to see another actor who can replace Christopher Reeve as the role of Superman from the '80s and the 21st century
@@ConnorTheTimeLord2000 He is definitely the best iteration of the character, though I give credit to current actors like Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin for at least giving it a try.
@@timrob12 Tom Welling was best superman
@@Cofimaslisa I would say the best Clark Kent, considering he never truely wore the Superman suit.
Superman himself has to got to be Christopher Reeve, not only because of how good he was in the role, but because he never gave up after his accident.
@@timrob12 He dodnt want it because every superman who wore a suit was sick in the future
3 take aways
-Reeves is amazing
-Glover is amazing
-Lionel’s hair is rockin
“…Lionel’s hair is rockin”. I guess somebody had to say it. Lol
John Glover role as Lionel tends to get forgotten. It’s a shame he was amazing
@@DarMar106Indeed; the contrast between his scenes with Michael, and after his resurrection with Annette are amazing contrasts in nuance. Of course, let’s not forget to give credit to the writing and direction.
I love how Christopher Reeve looks at Lionel. Like adversaries who’ve battled a lifetime. I know Lionel isn’t lex but you can see the tension between Superman and a Luthor.
Is Lionel a Canon character. If not John Glover literally made that character. He and Lex were the most compelling characters.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078 My dad tells me he used to read Superman comics in Cuba and he'd never even heard of Lionel, only Lex. He never heard of Lana and Chloe either, just Lois. It seems that many of the characters on Smallville aren't cannon but exclusive to Smallville.
@@DerekThomasLirioLana Lang is definitely in the comics. Long before Smallville tv show was conceived
He can still act in his wheelchair. Reeve you are awesome!
Was still a fine actor, even with his injury.
He was brilliant in his two appearances in Smallville.
Absolutely. His presence alone always shined through. It's like he had an aura around him.
I think they had plans to keep him in the show in a limited role. “Dr. Swann” continued to be referred to throughout the show.
It is indeed impressive to see that despite his age and state, he is able to keep that jawline.
Wheelchair or no, Chris kicked Lionel's ass just by talking.
Reeve is fantastic ! His playing style is so strong, and convincing, that man can forget about his paralysing.
Odd thing was the man who could fly, became the man who couldn't walk but you almost forget, watching him, with such power in him
RIP and long live the greatest Superman actor of all time.
Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1952 - October 10, 2004), aged 52
You will always be remembered as a legend.
When I saw this episode I had no idea the guy in the wheel chair was the same guy who played Superman in the original movie.
You didn't? Great you know it now.
Only 4 years ago. Your probably a little kid or a teenager. That’s why you don’t know that
@@wesleyc8101 I'm 31 years old, just wasn't well informed at the time.
An interesting thing about Christopher Reeve. In that chair he looks kind of small, but in actuality, he was 6' 4" tall.
Oh, WOW! I was so excited and happy to see him. It still gives me goosebumps to watch. It was a real thrill for us old Superman fans!
John and chris's chemistry is just insane, acting is on point.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Reeve. ❤️
He has this piercing gaze. What a man.
The actor who plays Luthor Senior looks strangely like Kevin Conroy. xD
David W.
Haha. That's true!
Agreed and he and Kevin Conroy voiced Batman and Riddler in the 90s but Conroy still continues voicing Batman from time to time
I didn't know that was John Glover
I thought it WAS Conroy
Its a shame that Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly never made a scene with Christopher Reeve in the second season of Smallvile.
I wonder how the series would of ended up if he was there. Sad Christopher reeve had to pass away. He was my role model, at least his personality and character. Wish he had finished the Smallville series.
I think that the writers intended for Chris to become Jor-El's vessel/emissary, instead of Terence Stamp's voice-overs. But of course, Chris died, and the role went to John Glover's redeemed Lionel Luthor in seasons 5 and 6.
"Goodbye old friend, in the end, the world didn't really need a Superman, just a brave one."
--Superman TAS
Chris Reeves is the man. Thank you for making my childhood great 🙌🏾
And he's still an inspiration in my adulthood
There are no small roles, only small actors. And this one was HUGE. 🙏
Even though Veritas wasn't thought of until years and years after this, you could look at this scene and say they do know each other somewhat.
"I've been wondering how long it'd take for you to finally walk through the door."
He must be at least aware of Lionel's activities/obsessions, which could stem back for years.
You get the idea that it has been years since they've spoken and, more importantly, that Swann is playing it up to gauge what Lionel has found out.
Christopher Reeve & John Glover going head to head is a joy to watch, 2 brilliant actors at work here👏🏻
Love it. Lionel Luthor always makes me smile because he's so evil. That smirk at 3:29 is just amazing.
This is like, a reunion between Superman and Lex Luthor, this was a great scene.
Lionel looks like Scar
Even the mannerisms! I thought I only noticed the lion king connection haha
The only reason I would be interested in watching Smallville is just for the scenes with Christopher Reeve. His is a brave, enduring story.
Smallville is great - it doesn’t need 200+ episodes, but it’s a fantastic show
RIP Superman
How true he is missed.. wished he was here to play the part of Superman's dad this time. Miss his persona and no one quite like him.. RIP Christopher Reeve.
This scene is great; too bad they never detailed the nature of Swann's arrangement with Lionel. Swann winds up with the Krypton Key at the end of this episode, then sends it back to Clark in "Sacred", which takes place about one year later.
I remember it was revealed on season 7 that they were part of a secret society called Veritas. They exist to find and to serve the Traveler from Krypton. Swann founded the organization but was also funded by 3 more families, Teagues, Queens and the Luthors.
I know right? We never got to figure out what arrangements or agreement was made between them
And then his daughter gets killed in season 7
Virgil Swann was one of the best smallville characters.
So unfair the world was to Chris. Hurts me so to know how much he wished to be well as we all do.
These scenes are some of the most moving and powerful moments in the series.
Chris was so brilliant in his performance, even with all of his major restrictions. Lionel is usually always five-ten steps ahead of everybody. He has already anticipated any plausible reaction and has a fail safe in place for each. But when Dr Swann deduces Lionel’s fate, the way he stares into Lionel’s soul, when he says “you’re dying” . It still gives me chills. . John’s reaction is equally impressive. Even Lex couldn’t see through him the way Swann did. We had rarely if EVER saw Lionel react in such a vulnerable way up to this point. No one is ever ahead of him. But Swann is in a league of his own.
He will always be Superman to me
brilliant acting from both
Great actor, great person and certainly missed.
Rip Reeve
El mejor tributo que se pudo rendir al unico e inigualable superman de todos los tiempos
What a special moment man!
this is always one of my top 5 favorite scenes. 2 legendary actors against each other in an intelligent battle of words. I love Smallville but a few episodes got cliche in their badguy of the week. this was powerful however because you see how smart chris is as a person & actor. and him & john in a scene is all i wanted
It's crazy that this was uploaded right before the final season started airing. It was also almost 6 years after Christopher Reeve passed away (this episode would have been around 7 years older than the upload date). Time is a funny thing; then I remember that Smallville was on the air for 10 years.
Rest in Peace Christopher Reeve.
They're talking to each other like they were never members of Veritas together...
TheGrafton12 swanns tone is actually more informal (joking and whatnot) Lionel is being more respectful to his elder, and a chairbound individual. But it comes off as thought he doesn't know Swann personally.
@@BlackFlightNY Is Swann his elder?
John Glover was truly the unsung hero of this series - his Lionel was perfect.
Chris is wonderful as well.
Superman is Christopher Reeve!
I do not recall this “bargain” Dr Swann made with Lionel.
This show was phenomenal
Dr Swan intimidated Lionel, Lionel knows Dr Swan is just as powerful as he and Dr Swan's mysterious enigmatic way of speaking really unnerved Lionel 😂
homie diagnosed a man with curiosity alone
It's like Superman got stuck in this universe and lost his powers and took on a new identity of Dr Swan.
Christopher Reeves will always be my superman . Awesome role.on an awesome tv show
He fits every role he’s given perfectly.
I know it’s the actor, but my first thought when seeing him in the show is “Clark Kent Steven Hawking.”
(It’s Steven Hawking because I don’t know any other old genius scientists in wheelchairs.)
True, that. Virgil was the alpha in that scene.
Absolute gravitas.
Christopher reeve, the real man of steel!
Just like Adam West is to Batman as the Gray Ghost...Yeah yeah I saw the animated series of Batman.
My superman...
Wow he was great in this scene.
Notice how Lionel seems intimidated by Dr Swan, he KNOWS Dr Swan is just as wealthy just as powerful loads of knowledge and hidden technologies 😉
I miss him....
Reeve was The Real Superman
What's tripped out is that both of them came out on tales from the crypt what's cookin and the other I think it's undertaking palor.
Sad seeing Christopher reeve like this glad he got to appear in smallville it was great seeing how such a fantastic actor he is it was nice that he got to pass the torch to Tom Weiling even though Tom didnt really appear as superman till the end of the series.
It would’ve been nice to have him play JOR-EL
They made it seem like these two didnt know eachother, but season 7 it shows that they knew eachother for years...then again I cant blame them..they couldnt of known what they were going to do in season 7 during season 2
He was great.
Superman vs The Riddler
This is morbid but wouldve been a miracle! In this scene hes talking and right at the last minute swann would walk away from the wheelchair revealing he was another kryptonian!
Not so morbid at all. Funnily enough, Reeve died after showing signs of recovery. had he lived long enough, that scene would have been his way of surprising the world of his cure.
Never see this moment
He's not d3ad. He flew back to Krypton, beacause he was the only true Superman.
My Love Christopher reeve my super man,,man beutiful Love Christopher reeve
How are they able to get Christopher Reeve into the scene I thought he only played in one episode
I went crazy when the Superman theme song played!
Was their deal ever revealed particularly?
Super acting!
That's not how you talk to someone you've known for decades.
Cameo to beat all cameo...
...bloke got dealt some shitty cards.
Talk about Riddler and Superman in a scene together. John Glover voiced Riddler on Batman The Animated Series in the 90s
he also played Dr Jason Woodrue in batman returns. the guy who in poison ivys lab
@@robquin1525 I know
@zl1vette427 the society which was revealed in season 7 was it composed of lionel luthor, The queens, and Virgil swan, the teagues. i think it was made a looong time agoo because in season 4 they talked about some witches who were looking or protecting the traveler. I think the writers didn't plan out the veritas early in the series so thats why lionel and swann don't seem to particularly friendly.
Interestingly... After he said "Even if you had the key, you have no idea what would happen if you put it in to the lock..." just after the camera leaves Lionel... For a split moment there I thought he was going to stand up and walk.... Such a beautiful person he was... yet he got dealt the most grueling hand....God bless Mr. Reeve.
Imagine if they were able to cast Gene Hackman as Lionel Luthor 👀
Jesus that's s big house!!
Christopher Reeves will always be the one and only best Superman. Tom Welling was good but Christopher Reeves will always be known as the true Superman.
poor christopher reeve
Epic moment
Reeve me fez acreditar em Heroes....Reeve made me believe in Heroes ....
Boss!
His voice is amazing I wish that he would have done voice acting
Well sadly his condition did not allow intensive voice recording work. But we are lucky to have what he was still able to give us :)
That is right.. No One!!
EPIC!!!!
RIP
Who were the actual members of the Veritas Society ? Was it Virgil and Lionel or their parents ? It doesn't seem logical that this scene would indicate 2 people who barely recognize one another if they are members of the same secret society. Remember, family members inherited their membership I believe.
Did I sign...?
The Ubermensch
Bryce Cummings from ‘Scrooged’!!
no you misunderstand, in season 7 they talk about how they were all apart of the veritas society years before the meteor shower, and in this seen it's like they barely know eachother
what season?
what episode??
Not sure what episode but it is definitely season 3
Christopher reeve was good actor when he in wheelchair in smallville
Does he betray Clark?
I gotta say amazing and also sad that it was Christopher reeve’s final appearance before his fate when fighting to walk again lost😑💔 and lucky for John Glover!🧔🏻♀️😈❤️ glad he did got to work with 🦸🏻♂️himself👍 not only that, kicked Lionel’s ass with by discussion😂👏 and then of course with Tom welling🦸🏻👍 one last time before his pronounce later, they’ll have more to explain about in this 2nd part of event and last with Chris on talkville later on
