Looks Like Brandon Routh May Don The 'Atom' Costume On ARROW After All

It's been suggested that if Brandon Routh's character, Ray Palmer, was ever to suit up as The Atom, it'd be on The Flash and not Arrow where he's currently featured. Well, the actor has posted a pic of himself being fitted for a mask..and it wasn't #TheFlash hashtag he used..

When Marc Guggenheim was quizzed on whether we'd eventually see Palmer suited up as The Atom, he replied that if that was to happen, it'd more likely be on the CW's superpower-heavy The Flash show as opposed to Arrow where Brandon Routh can currently be seen in the role. But does the above pic tell a different story? The Superman Returns actor has said that there might be costume-related plans for Palmer which wouldn't necessarily lead to him gaining his shrinking powers, so perhaps that's what's being teased here. Maybe we'll find out when Arrow returns to our screens tomorrow night.

All the generic-looking cute hipstery type actresses better get ready, they're gonna need you as primary-love-interest #1 on the Atom spin-off soon.

I like Routh a lot more on Arrow than I did when he was Superman. He brought some much needed charisma to the series.

Lol, the showrunners can't make up their mind. I'm happy Ray Palmer will suit up on Arrow.

They need to ditch the "no superpowers" approach. Going back to making the show completely grounded and realistic is a mistake.

@b&y You speak the the truth, sir.

I had one done when I was like 12.

It wasn't done right and it pulled out some of my some of my eyelashes and eyebrows that were then transferred into the cast.

I'm gonna do another one soon.

20 years later lol.

I like Routh as Atom, I just don't really want a spin-off. I'd rather they do something different, like a team series. I was hoping for a Suicide Squad show, but it looks they're going to do a movie instead.

Their mask process makes them look like Goombas from the shitty Mario Bros movie.

@DexterDouglas Can we sign a petition or something for Berlanti, Guggenheim, Kreisberg and Geoff Johns to have Brandon Routh play Superman/Clark Kent in the TV universe instead?? He can make appearances in all three DC shows, Arrow, Flash and Supergirl and maybe get his own show!!

WHO SAYS NO?!?!

I really hope this is true. If this is true, I hope it opens the doors so Green Arrow can fight some super powered enemies.

I also had the misfortune of being underneath all that in my high school art class it's creepy, claustrophobic almost. All you have are those two little holes for breathing D:

semi-related, I LOVED Routh and Justin Long in Zack and Miri!!

Brandon Saint Randy cracks me up every time!! I may be alone, drunk and/or high, but I'd love a movie about Brandon Saint Randy and Bobby Long
