The list of characters returning (alive or dead) for Smallville's tenth and final season seems to grow with each passing day.

Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly states that sources have confirmed to him that Alan Ritchson has signed on to reprise his role as Arthur "AC" Curry (a.k.a. Aquaman) in episode nine during November sweeps.

Ritchson has not been seen since season 8 when LuthorCorp discovered his secret identity.

Other Smallville alums returning for the final season include John Glover (Lionel), John Schneider (Pa Kent), Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl), James Marsters (Brainiac), and Michael Shanks (Hawkman).
