KryptonSite Scoop: "Franklin Stern" Is Coming To Smallville!

Maxwell Lord isn't the only DC Universe character making a first appearance in the "Charade" episode of Smallville.

KryptonSite has learned that actor Blu Mankuma will be appearing on the show in the role of Franklin Stern. The episode airs in April.

Mankuma was most recently seen in the movie 2012.

The Stern character first appeared in the Superman: The Man of Steel comic book series in 1993 and was on an episode of Lois & Clark, where James Earl Jones played him. In most versions of the Superman story he is the owner and publisher of the Daily Planet. Could this mean change is on the way for the paper? Stay tuned...
