Superman Returns! Brandon Routh is back as the Man of Steel in Crisis on Infinite Earths promo image

September 28, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Thanks to Deadline, we’ve got our first look at DC’s Legends of Tomorrow star Brandon Routh in the upcoming Arrowverse crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths – not as The Atom, but rather as Superman, reprising the role he portrayed by in 2006’s Superman Returns, albeit as a world-weary Kingdom Come-inspired version of the Man of Steel…

Routh will be one of three versions of Superman appearing in Crisis on Infinite Earths alongside the current Arrowverse Man of Steel Tyler Hoechlin, and Smallville star Tom Welling, who is reprising his role from the iconic series.

Other guest stars from past DC shows include Smallville’s Erica Durance as Lois Lane as well as The Flash’s John Wesley Shipp, Batman 66’s Burt Ward, Batman: The Animated Series‘ Kevin Conroy as a future Bruce Wayne, and Birds of Prey’s Ashley Scott as Huntress.

Crisis on Infinite Earths spans Supergirl on Sunday, December 8th, Batwoman on Monday, December 9th, The Flash on Tuesday, December 10th, and Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow on Tuesday, January 14th 2020.
