Have I got that right? It's all going to be graphics now,(Doomsday) no real person (Sam Witwer)? Or---will Davis return?

Or does Dooomsday revert back to human form, like the Hulk?

something tells me he doesn't...i've never read any of the comics, but that's just my opinion...

i'm guessing he'll transform back somehow in the next episode--they wouldn't have him n the credits if wasn't appearing more on the show.

In the earlier shows when he was "taken over" by evil, was that actually the "testing, testing" form of Doomsday,--or something else?
Davis was actually an interesting character on the show and i thought there was going to be a love interest with Chloe--but not as Doomsday!!
Like "the Hulk" Trinity says---I can deal with that We'll just have to wait and see.
Is Doomsday an actual comic-book character-(then we could know if he drops in and out of Davis)-or just a bright idea of the current writers?

Going on my memory of that last new episode, there's that scene where we look into Doomsday's eyes and it looks like the monster is just something he's wearing. Maybe it was just a poor makeup job or perhaps they were trying to express that Davis is indded trying to fight the beast he's become.
We did have a couple of scenes where he's trying to cover up his messes after 'hulking out' and he's doing that as Davis. I can't see a reason for him to not be able to transform back at some point, even if he can't do it of his own free will.

Absolutely. For two slightly different takes you could check out the 'Death of Superman' graphic novel and the 'Superman: Doomsday' feature on DVD. In both of those I don't recall either version being human at all. He was just discovered both times as the monster if I remember right.

The Internet tells that Davis is an alter-ego for Doomsday, so we probably we see Davis again.
Also it is unsettling to know Doomsday can destroy Superman--but (and here lies a ray of hope) Doomsday was cloned at least once, and imperfectly by Doc Laxarus while he was trying to recreate his dead son, whom he accidently killed earlier. Seems the Doc was fiddling around in a game on the Internet and accidently got a Doomsday clone. He was not indestructable however, and Wonder Woman killed him with some kind of hi-voltage thing.
If we have the real Doomsday, that may be the way the writers end Smallville--but how bad would that be with Clark vanquished. Can't happen, right
Which gives me pause to deduce we MAY have a clone!! If so, it is unknown as yet if he CAN also be Davis Bloom.
I SURE HOPE WE HAVE THE CLONE.

There was also that scene to keep in mind, when Lois was possessed by it's 'mother' and explained how he was just genetic material attached to Clark's ship. It's not impossible to think that the writers could have Clark facing an army of those if they really wanted to. Think back to when Brainiac had Lex possessed by Zod. Use that same process with the Doomsday material for the entire population of Smallville, maybe Kansas, and on and on.....
I have one other thing for your consideration. If that matter was attached to Clark' ship, I'm thinking it was possibly put there on purpose, as something of a test for Clark. Which would be a more interesting twist if this is the case; it being placed there by Jor-El, or by Zod?

Jor-El or Zod---hummmm, good question, its 6 reasons for one, half doz reasonas for the other. That would be a tough question as both have a purpose!
Smallville taken over by an army of Doomsdays maybe???. Brrrrrrr!!!
I guess just ONE of them could destroy Smallville, Kansas, and the whole USA!
I was thinkin' about the Lex-Zod takeover myself, when I read that Doomsday had an alter-ego in Davis. While Lex was pretty dark to begin with, do you think Davis Bloom ,the man, is basically a"dark" character--or will he ultimately be pronounced "good"==we could see the "trial takeovers" were by something evil, ( was it Doomsday?) right from the season's first shows.
SO-- it came from Genetic material attached to Clark's ship, aha! Well,Doomsday is from Krypton. What if maybe a nullifier that can supresses it also attached (?)and will awake and win an ultimate battle saving Superman and Smallville? That'd be cool.
I read somewhere when the end comes to the Series it will be a real eye and mind popper!

I just had another thought after watching the "Marriage Episode Re-Run" last nite.
I saw Davis at the wedding , acting pretty much himself. He did not want Chloe to marry Jimmy. No surprise---a few scenes later--he has morphed into Doomsday, or Doomsday his morphed in to Davis (maybe a better way to say it)
Is Doomsday carrying off Chloe specifically so he can morph into Davis and strike up a "relationship, ya know what I mean IF he can inhabit a physical body, does he want to experience what Davis can feel..
Now the other turn of the coin.
Can Davis actually initiate (by himself) the transformation into Doomsday and sent HIM to GO GET Chloe; what he couldn't do in human form... Which way is it??? Or what is the general opinion of the super-brains here???

I don't think this should count as a spoiler, but just in case, you've been warned...
In one of the newest commercials we see Davis as a human enshrouded in crystal (presumably in the fortress), kinda whimpering for help.
It is my belief here that whtever that machine is that Lex is hooked up to can and does in fact control Doomsday, which is fitting somewhat considering that Doomsday carried her to the fortress of all places for her to be possessed(at least that's what it looked like had happened to her). Lex knew about the fortress(when I see no reason for Davis or Doomsday to know it exists, much less the location) and knows very well how much Clark cares about her. What better weapon to use against Clark than a souped up Chloe(who we see in that same commercial hoisting Clark above her head)?
I believe still that Doomsday is an actual extension of the Ares program that Lex had to shut down when he ran out of Titan's DNA.
I also think Brainiac still has something of a connection to Lex as well, going back to when Lex was primed to be the host for Zod. This would mean that if Lex is indeed pulling all these puppet strings, that Brainiac is actually pulling his and affecting everyone lower in the pyramid of pain.
I'm also going to go way out on a limb here and make a rational guess that Mercy is a clone that Lex whipped up to get at Ollie with. Pure speculation, but if anyone has something better here I'd love to hear it.

If you're right, it'd make sense. If you're wrong, it still makes sense and woulda been awesome.
