Holy hell! Earlier today we revealed the first image of Smallville Clark and Lois Tom Welling and Erica Durance from the upcoming Crisis On Infinite Earths (here) but tonight we have a couple of really cool images of Brandon Routh as Kingdom Come Superman.
The actor shared the image below on his Instagram, while the above one was revealed by EW and they both… perfect.
And it’s been confirmed that Routh will be playing both Ray Palmer/The ATOM and this version of Superman.
Of course, this isn’t the actor’s first time in the blue and red, having played him in Superman Returns in 2006.
“It’s an opportunity for me to kind of say hello and goodbye to the character in a way I didn’t get to the first time,” Routh said in July.
“Being a young individual of 24, 25, I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to do this for years and make multiple movies.’ And that of course didn’t happen. I’m just very honored to be able to do this one last time.”
He will join Tyler Hoechlin and Tom Welling in the roles of Clark Kent form different earths.
It looks like Superman is going to be a a big part of the crossover, with show runner Marc Guggenheim revealing a few day sago that they tried to get some of the cast from the now cancelled Krypton to appear:
British born actor Cameron Cuffe played Superman’s grandfather Seg-El in both seasons of Krypton and almost had his role saved by Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow creator Marc Guggenheim. He’s contributed heavily to both shows as well as all of the crossovers, so far he’s been working tirelessly to ensure Krypton’s survival but unfortunately it was all for naught.
Crisis on Infinite Earths kicks off Sunday, December 8th on Supergirl, then continues with a Monday episode of Batwoman and that Tuesday’s The Flash. After a month-long holiday break, it concludes with the Jan. 14 episode of Arrow and a special instalment of Legends of Tomorrow.
