As loyal Smallville followers know by now, Clark Kent’s nemesis next season will be General Zod, portrayed by relative newcomer Callum Blue.

But star Justin Hartley told TV Guide Magazine that Superman may have another problem to deal with, one on a more personal front.

The actor that plays Oliver Queen/Green Arrow recently met with his producers that told him the following:

“Oliver will be more and more fed up with the whole [superhero] thing and on a downward spiral. I also hear he may be revisiting the Lois [romance].”

This either goes against previous Smallville spoilers, which focused on a Clark/Lois season nine romance; or it means Lois will be one sought after female this fall!
