Brandon Routh Returns as Superman in Arrowverse Crossover

Are you sitting down? The CW has announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 that Brandon Routh will be donning the blue tights again as Superman (what version though?) for this year's annual Arrowverse crossover titled 'Crisis on Infinite Earths.' He will be suiting up alongside Tyler Hoechlin's Superman who appears periodically on 'Supergirl.'

Update: Brandon revealed he'll be wearing the Kingdom Come Superman suit inspired by Alex Ross' art!

Per Deadline:

Last year, the CW’s annual Arrowverse crossover event introduced Batwoman, played by Ruby Rose. This time, the producers of the DC franchise on the CW are planning a big stunt involving one of DC’s most recognizable superheroes, Superman. Two actors who have played the Man of Steel, Tyler Hoechlin and Brandon Routh, will portray him in different time frames. The news is expected to be revealed at Comic-Con.

Both Hoechlin and Routh already are members of the Arrowverse: Hoechlin recurs as Superman on Supergirl, while Routh plays Ray Palmer/The Atom on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, a character he introduced on Arrow.
