The CW revealed the first official photo of Brandon Routh as Kingdom Come Superman.
Brandon Routh made his debut as the Man of Steel in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns, a homage sequel to the first two films starring Christopher Reeve. However, Superman Returns underperformed at the box office and Warner Bros. would eventually reboot the franchise years later, making the Bryan Singer film Brandon Routh’s sole outing as the Last Son of Krypton.
However, Brandon Routh will once again don the Superman suit when he portrays the Kingdom Come version of the hero for The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, which will unite various versions of DC heroes from new and old projects. Now, The CW has released the first official photo of Brandon Routh in full costume as Kingdom Come Superman and some fans may be thrilled to see the classic red underwear is used after being omitted from recent live-action Man of Steel suits.
