In a recent conversation with a fan online, Legends of Tomorrow star Brandon Routh confirmed that the decision for Ray Palmer to leave the series wasn’t made by him. Brandon Routh’s comment implies that he’s sad about leaving the series, but there’s always hope he’ll have a guest appearance in a future episode thanks to the time-travelling nature of the show.
