Brandon Routh to Play Superhero Again on 'Arrow'

Love The Atom, hope this sparks an on going series.

Good for him.

Huh, interesting. Can't wait for season 3.

Well it certainly is a step up from what he's been doing lately. Last I saw him he was in a terrible and offensive sitcom playing a gay stereotype.

That's why they have The Flash coming out.

I always get him confused with James Marsden because of the Singer connection.

So Palmer is the new owner of QC makes sense could make for an interesting adaptation rom a VFX stand point

@_andy_can: have you not watched season 2? It largely drops the Nolan asethtic and morphs it more into an awesome Gritty Camp and introduces people with meta human powers.

Holy crap..I thought he was gonna be Superman and I almost lost it, lol.

wow that was random.

I first thought that Superman was gonna appear on the show lol

Atom can be interesting!

Superman Movies(curse of Reeve) are underrated this guy was good and probably will make a better Palmer, he's pretty funny

well at least he's still sporting the Red and Blue even though the roll is rather small lol.

*leaves shamelessly*

This is actually a really nice choice.

why i dislike arrow is that it's going the Christopher Nolan way I know Dc are now so addicted to making all their heroes realistic but can we at least make superheroes and supervillains have Superpowers that will be awesome. THANKS

I dont have a problem with Katana as long as she doesnt live in Star City. It bothered me that Jean Loring & Kate Spencer were there. That the Lances live there. That Huntress lives there. Obviously it limits showing the character's origin , but still.

As for atom, I get the BS about what characters can & can not be used, but why does it seem like DC is intentionally trying to copy Marvel. They do AntMan, so DC uses Atom. I mean, the Kate Manhunter would be PERFECT for a show. Non/Limited powered heros are better for TV, plus she has a non-sexualized costume that people claim they want on their female hero/villains. Hell, a little bit of "originality" on the part of DC, use the arrow-verse version of Doll girl , have her be Mia's age there could even be some angst between her Mia & Roy, or have her into Sin & she could still use the "Atom" name.

Rather have Liberty Belle though.

pretty cool, cant wait for the 3rd season

I don't mind the Atom, but going from playing Superman to the Atom must me pretty frustrating. I'm sure the show will find a way to make him powerless and costumeless, and a love interest for Felicity of Laurel ^^ Hope I'm wrong though, now that the Flash exists, who knows. We DID have Doctor Light ray gun in Arrow.

Sweet

Well I don't think anyone was expecting that.

He'll probably be fine.

Interesting.

Awesome.

Rockin! I love Ray Palmer. Some nice additions to season three so far.
