The CW’s fan favorite Arrow series based on the DC Comics character is introducing another iconic character from the comics to the show, and a former Superman is donning the suit.
Superman Returns star Brandon Routh plays Ray Palmer, who DC Comics fans will know as the A.T.O.M. Routh will don the suit for the first time in the upcoming, fifteenth episode of the show titled “Nanda Parbat”, and here is our first official look at his exosuit:
The character will also appear in the eighteenth episode of Arrow, titled “All-Star Team-Up,” which sees the Bug-Eyed Bandit, an Atom villain from the comics, as one of the threats. The episode synopsis says that he’d been struggling to perfect his suit and will seek help from Cisco Ramon at S.T.A.R. Labs, so it now appears even more likely the characters will literally team-up in costume.
The Flash airs on The CW network on Wednesday, check local listings for times.
