Amazon.com has begun listing Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season for pre-order on DVD & BluRay available on August 25th, 2009, a bit earlier than usual.
In addition to all twenty-two episodes of the eighth season, extras are to include a featurette on bringing Doomsday to life (called it!), a behind the scenes look at Allison Mack’s directorial debut for episode 8×13, “Power”, cast and crew commentaries, as well as deleted scenes.
After the jump you can find the complete press release for the set, which also mentions that this will be available just in time for season nine, and with an earlier release date, that might mean we see the season premiere a bit earlier than usual this fall. Remember, ordering from Starkville’s House of El supports this site & this podcast so what’re you waiting for? It’s win/win! Pre-order your 8th season release of Smallville on DVD & BluRay today!

Since the finale, fan speculation has been strong that the figure standing outside of Tess’ window in the final moments of “Doomsday”, was that of Zod and the vessel for his body would be that of charismatic paramedic Davis Bloome (Zod’s son, if you remember correctly). Since that time, Sam Witwer has hinted that he won’t be returning to the show for season 9, despite early rumors that two characters will die (Davis and Jimmy) but only one actor won’t be returning (Aaron Ashmore). Naturally, with Doomsday being gone for the time being, it was easy to assume that Sam Witwer would be playing the the part of the character seen in the cliffhanger of the episode, but a casting notice sent out today may soon prove otherwise. Check out the jump for further details.
