Brandon Routh Lands Recurring Role On The CW’s ‘Arrow’

Briefly: Brandon Routh never got a second try at Superman, but that doesn’t mean he’s finished in the DC Universe.

The Superman Returns actor has just landed a 14-episode arc on The CW’s Arrow. He’ll play Atom, who can shrink himself down to subatomic size (I thought Arrow wasn’t going to have any super-powered characters, but this’ll be the second?).

The character will also act as a love interest for Felicity. Further details haven’t been revealed at this point, but I’m sure we’ll hear more as San Diego Comic-Con approaches.

Are you down for Routh as Atom? Is there another actor you’d rather have seen in the role? Sound out below!
