I think it’s one of the reasons for casting me too is the history that I bring with me as Brandon. It’s hard for me to turn the bad guy on, because I just want to be the good guy intrinsically. ![]() To a fault, I’m sincere to a fault with my characters. Routh: No, for me it’s absolutely sincere until the writers or producers tell me otherwise. Do you feel he’s sincere or are you throwing some shade at us? Obviously he’s earned Felicity’s trust, she believes in him. SHH: He comes across as very sincere, and that might just be because of you and our associations with you. Now that he’s reached the pinnacle, what is he going to do? He had this tragedy in his life and now he’s going to give back. He’s created this huge empire for himself. That adds another cool go-getter aspect to him which I think is fun, which is where a lot of his passion and energy comes into the fact that he’s a self-made man in this way. Routh: No, that’s totally a new thing to make him able to take over Queen Consolidated. What remains is his brain in all the thing, his leadership quality that he has that exists in both what we’re creating now and what’s in the comics of what I’ve read. #A.t.o.m. arrow series#Like, right now I’m reading “Sword of the Atom,” which is a cool series in the early ‘80s where actually he doesn’t really even size change that much because he’s afraid he might blow up because of what’s happening. It wasn’t essential because the character is being re-envisioned a little bit for the show, but it’s great for me to be able to understand the history and there’s a couple different iterations of it. Routh: I did, because I didn’t really know too much about Atom before. SHH: When you got the role of Ray Palmer, did you start reading Atom comics? The suit is pretty awesome and very different than Superman’s suit, so I’m excited about the potential of actually being out and being seen moving, getting into action with it. But it’s been a lot of fun bringing Ray to life. I never really thought that I’d play another hero in the DC world having played kind of the pinnacle of them all. How do you feel about the prospect of putting on another costume? A.T.O.M.’s hologram suit looking totally legit, it’s feeling really pretty epic. The way they’re making the effects so seamless, with Firestorm taking off and that looking so cool. and CW are handling the television entities in a great way, with “Arrow” and “Flash” really creating a great world and supporting the characters really well. #A.t.o.m. arrow tv#Just TV and film are different animals, but I definitely feel that DC, Warner Bros. He’s since made noteworthy appearances in Scott Pilgrim and Zack & Miri Make a Porno and had the title role in Dylan Dog: Dead of Night.Routh: That’s a hard question. Routh originally auditioned for the role of Superman back when director McG was still circling JJ Abrams “Superman: Flyby” script, and was recalled to the role for Returns by Bryan Singer. His size-changing abilities also enable him to travel through telephone lines a the speed of electricity, visit pocket-universes existing at the subatomic level and even traverse the Multiverse by slipping through the cracks between dimensions. He may have been replaced as the live-action Superman by Henry Cavill, but Superman Returns’ Brandon Routh isn’t done with DC Comics roles: He’s now set to appear in the third season of Arrow as scientist/superhero Ray Palmer, aka The Atom.Ĭreated in 1961, The Atom is a physicist who discovers a way to reduce his size to the subatomic level (as opposed to Marvel’s similar Ant-Man, who can typically “only” shrink to insect size and also become a giant) while retaining his natural strength, which he utilizes to become a costumed superhero and occasional Justice League member.
