A WWE Superstar recently had the chance to interact with some superheroes, as Batista filmed a guest spot on the CW show, Smallville.

�It�s really my first acting experience outside of what we do here at WWE,� Batista told WWE.com a few days after being on the Smallville set in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

�It was awesome. It was a great experience. It played a really, really cool character, and I�m a really big superhero buff, so it was great being involved in anything superhero-related, a pleased Batista said.

According to the CW�s Web site, Smallville is in its sixth season and �this new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series.�
The SmackDown Superstar spent the most time with the show�s main star, Tom Welling.

�Tom Welling, who plays Clark Kent, Superman, was very kind, very generous, very helpful to me. I can�t say enough about him, he�s a really good guy.�

Batista hopes this isn�t the last time WWE gets involved with shows such as Smallville. The connection is already there, since SmackDown is also on the CW network.

�Hopefully they�ll have me do something else in the show. I�d love to be involved sometime in the future, or any of the WWE Superstars. I think they�d all add something to the show and hopefully we can get some of their cast over here as well. I think it�s good for both shows and the network itself.�

Batista can be seen on Smallville Thursday, Nov. 16, at 8/7 CT on the CW.

==========================================
So apparently he will have super powers. No telling if he will be hero or villian yet... probably just a meteor-freak.
