He's too isolated, lost his Lois (& Jason?) and possibly world and this is his last hurrah, that and being a movie version also makes it difficult to sustain his verse beyond the crossover, a fate SV is avoiding for the reason I have already stated above. They can afford to kill the movie version and no one will bat an eyelid, but people will pull out torches and pitchforks over Smallville.
