Arrow: Brandon Routh's Atom Costume Revealed

Ever since Brandon Routh joined the cast of Arrow as Ray Palmer, there's been a ton of teasers about his future as a hero. From seeing a hologram of his costume's design to witnessing him test out some technology, the show has made it crystal clear this dude is going to step into a suit and do what he can to save the city. Heck, even Felicity is supporting his mission now. Well, the armor has finally been revealed and honestly, it's looking pretty cool.

He'll step into the suit during this season's 15th episode, "Nanda Parbat," and it'll air February 25. So, what do you think of the design, Viners? Do you think it's awesome and you're stoked to see it on the small screen or are you not a fan?

That is a really good costume. It is putting a lot of movie superhero costumes to shame (*cough, cough, Hawkeye, Black Widow, AoU Cap*).

typo in heading though (revealed)

Darn, I just made this topic, you beat me by seconds Gregg!!

Is the piece of clear glass meant to be a mask? I know the atom shrinks and all but he is not doing much to hide his identity

Looks good! I like the way that they seem to be planning to use the character on both ARROW and FLASH.

Very solid outfit, really like the big cheesy A

Is he planning on shrinking at all? It hasn't really be mentioned, and this looks more tactical than anything else.

I'm digging it, though.

@titanbreaker: I bet it's some kind of screen that projects data, info, vitals and such.

He looks like a roller skater

X-O Manowar?

Nice

Awesome.

Now who the hell is Atom?

Pretty awesome. Don't really dig the face shield, though.

Looks good! Kinda looks like X-O Manowar's suit though? That's not bad or anything.

It looks like I am in the minority but I don't like it.

That is pretty boss

Yeeesh...not a fan.

The Atom's classic suit is one of the best DC has. I don't understand why the heck they'd want to Mortal Kombat it up. =/

@punyparker: You don't know The Atom?

ROLLERBALLLLLLLLLLL!!!

Looks like (MCU) Captain America and Iron Man's outfits had a baby, which is awesome. The jury's still out about the massive A, though.

Nice. Now to see how well he moves in it.

Pretty cool. I wish they'd gone a bit more colorful though. Between Arrow, Flash, Man of Steel, and Gal Gadot Wonder Woman we've gotten a lot of really subdued colors. Being that Ray is such a fun character, I was hoping he'd break the trend.

Either way, I like the suit. They could have done a bit more with the mask (which just looks like a bike helmet), but I'm willing to wait to see it in action.

If only Arrow and Flash gave their villains cool costumes. It might help them break the trend of having interesting hero characters but incredibly boring villains.

I have to see it in action... It took awhile for the flashes forehead to grow on me and it still looks weird.

I really like it. Do we know if he will be getting his shrinking ability?

Awesome!

Just saw it on comicbook.com before I came here!

NICE BULGE...oh wait.

Cap's AOU costume is awesome. Hawkeye and Black Widows are pretty good as well not sure how this is shaming them.

That being said this costume looks solid not a fan of the riot screen helmet but other that I like it. Have to see how it looks like on the show though.

@goonage: the giant A means team arrow...duh

He looks like he is on a futuristic hockey team.....

The Annondale Atoms??

Lmfao Captain Rollerball...

Uh ok? Even though he has nothing to do with the Arrow team?

Now I might just be crazy, but it probably stands for atom.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought this was for a X-O Manowar movie and got really excited. Then I realized it was Atom. Still pretty cool, though.

It's a semi-famous DC character,right?
Then,yeah,i have no idea.

I'm a huge Batman fan,and i know some stuff about Green Lantern ,Green Arrow,Flash and Superman(i dont like him,but he's too famous to ignore).

That's my DC knowledge.

@goonage: I think it was a joke. I found it kinda funny lol

Looks really good. This show has just been great so far, "knock on wood."

very Ant-Man

Pretty cool

A little "Iron Man"-ish, but at least it doesn't look like a crappy costume store reject *glares at Bryan Singer*

Whoa! Not often a tv show makes a better costume than the one in comics.

@godofmischief: Dude I never thought it looked like the ManoWar armor but hey it kinda dose

The suit looks good curious to see how it looks in motion. Wonder if they'll have him actually shrink.

Was my first thought before I read the headline. Disappointed. Damn, Valiant needs to make some movies, animated or otherwise.

I agree. I like this costume, but I also would like to see more detail on the villain costumes for this universe. They do seem to add details for reoccurring villains each time they show up- ex. Deathstroke and Cpt Cold. However, first appearance costumes often aren't great.

That's what I've been asking. I haven't see anything that suggests he would.

Looks cool.

this is awesome

Wow, it's actually better than I expected!

FLUFFY YES

**must...resist...posting...Rocket Raccoons laughing gif**

I dig it.
