CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Crossover Will See Both Brandon Routh & Tyler Hoechlin Suit Up As SUPERMAN

The CW and DC TV are pulling out all the stops for their upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" event, and earlier today, Deadline learned that both Tyler Hoechlin and Brandon Routh will suit up as Superman for the highly anticipated crossover, which is set to air this fall. 

Routh, who currently stars on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, will reprise his role as Clark Kent/Superman for the first time in well over a decade, having originally played the Man of Steel in 2006 in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns. In addition to his role as Superman, he'll also feature prominently in his series regular role as Ray Palmer/The Atom.

Hoechlin is, of course, the Arrowverse's Superman, having appeared on multiple episodes of Supergirl and featuring in last year's "Elseworlds" crossover. 

The five-part "Crisis on Infinite Earths" will easily be The CW's most ambitious crossover yet and will see the heroes from Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman unite to stop a common enemy. The first three installments will air in December, with the final two chapters coming our way in January. 

With two Men Of Steel now on board, it remains to be seen whether or not The CW also has plans to bring back the network's original Superman: Smallville's Tom Welling.

So is this technically the Christopher Reeves Superman then since Superman Returns is supposed to be a sequel to the Richard Donner cut of Superman II?

Either way, really excited for this crossover and hyped to see Routh Superman back, but hope it doesn’t cut too much into Atoms screentime

@Armageddon26 - Curious if maybe they'll use some other version of the costume. Routh was a good casting choice but it never made sense why his costume changed so much if Reeve and Routh's Superman are the same. Plus I just didn't care for the burgundy cape and little plastic 'S'

@Armageddon26 - Word has it Routh is actually playing this Superman:

@Battabing - I'd like to see Welling playing the Kingdom Come version to be honest.

@Philvis - I'd like Welling to stay as far away from Superman as possible.

So, y'know, they can't please everyone...

@UltimaRex - Hahah, your disdain/hate for Smallville is strong!

@Philvis - you have no idea. I've actually mellowed with age...

@Battabing - Ohhh, Superman prime would be an interesting take for a Routh Superman, interested either way

1, in no way did Welling EVER play Superman.

2, Welling will get into a casket before he gets into a Superman suit.

Tom Welling better be part of this as a 3rd Supes! He and Rosenbaum were being buddy-buddy with Amell to make his own wine for Nocking Point, so I hope that's an indication Amell is bringing him into the mix. Give us the Smallville Supes we deserve!

@zachman2013 - God no. Please no. Don't let CW touch Batman. They'll build his character around some weird-ass romance that teenagers and middle aged housewives would make ships over on social media.

@RageDriver2401 - Your clearly not a fan of the CW so why do you care? They would not ruin Batman.

@zachman2013 - like Olicity didn't ruin Arrow and "We are the Flash" didn't ruin Flash?
