Summary

It's the end of the world as we didn't know it. Clark is zapped into an alternate reality where he doesn't exist and Lex is president, in the hopes that it will convince him to put a stop Brainiac's diabolical real-life plan. We're joined once again by the director himself, sir Tom Welling. We'll talk about his process of adding stakes to this new perspective as well as the infamous teleprompter story.
