A villain from the past will also resurface but we don't know whom yet (some speculate it might be Brainiac, if so, don't expect him to return in the first half of the season since James Marsters is busy this fall).

Er, a bit behind the times really. But she always was, dear Kristin!
Exclusive! James Marsters Returning to Smallville Categories: smallville Just a little giddy good news to help ring in the new season of Smallville, which starts tomorrow night.
Reliable insiders tell me—and the CW confirms—that James Marsters (swoon, Buffy's Spike) is returning for four episodes of the superseries during the new season.
We last saw Marsters's character, Dr. Milton Fine (aka Brainiac), in Smallville's fifth season finale.
While it's unclear exactly how James is returning, I can tell you he's reprising the exact same character, he's returning to set very soon and his episodes begin airing in January. He also appears on CBS' Without a Trace this season.

Little tidbit of niceness:
Season five only included two commentaries, none of which included any of the regular cast members. In fact, the only commentary that included an actor at all was James Marsters, who starred as Brainiac. I've always enjoyed Marsters' work (especially on Buffy), but it would have been nice to have heard from some of the regular cast as well.

A little bit of S8 news (spoilery):
Question: Thank you for the spoilers from Smallville. Got anything new? -- Sue
Ausiello: Details are emerging on the blockbuster November sweeps two-parter (episodes 10 and 11) and they're so tantalizing that even I'm tempted to watch. Following Chloe's wedding to Jimmy, Brainiac slowly starts taking over Chloe's body. By episode 11, he has taken complete possession of her. And that, my friends, is just the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, if naughty Brainiac is taking over Chloe (which leads to some eyebrow raising thoughts of Jimmy/Brainiac ), he - as in James - might never be seen, but here's hoping.

That would have been quite funny
But looks like they got around it another way! In a review of S8 episode 'Abyss', TV Squad says:
I did note all the appearances of James Marsters as Brainiac in the flashbacks and am glad he had a voice-over at the end (at least, I think it was his voice). It was a nice surprise since he wasn't even listed in the credits.
One of the article's commenters confirms it was James.
