With filming for Crisis on Infinite Earths currently underway, many images of Brandon Routh as Superman have surfaced online.

Brandon Routh’s Superman costume is incredibly faithful to the character’s Kingdom Come look by Alex Ross, something that has led to a lot of praise online. As filming continues, Legends of Tomorrow actress Tala Ashe has shared a behind-the-scenes picture on Instagram with Brandon Routh in the Superman Kingdom Come costume to wish him a happy birthday.

Are you excited to see Brandon Routh as Superman again? Do you hope a show centered on Brandon Routh’s Superman spins out of the crossover? Let us know in the comments!

The next Arrowverse event has been teased since the very first episode of Grant Gustin’s The Flash, where a newspaper headline from the year 2024 revealed the Barry Allen’s fate was to disappear during a “crisis.” However, the fifth season finale of the Grant Gustin series accelerated this when the original newspaper headline changed the date of the event from 2024 to 2019. To add to this, the seventh season finale of Arrow set up Oliver Queen’s role in the next crossover by having him join the Monitor on a mission to warn other worlds of the crisis, as part of the arrangement the Emerald Archer made in order to save the lives of both The Flash and Supergirl.

In addition to the regular cast members of each Arrowverse series, Crisis will also feature appearances by Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, Brandon Routh as Superman and Ray Palmer / The Atom, LaMonica Garrett as the Anti-Monitor, Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, Tom Cavanagh as Pariah, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne, Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex, Erica Durance as Lois Lane and Tom Welling as Clark Kent / Superman. Burt Ward is also on board in an undisclosed role.

Crisis On Infinite Earths will span two quarters and consist of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman. The Arrowverse crossover will launch with three episodes in December before concluding with two additional episodes in January.

Stay tuned for all the latest news regarding Brandon Routh’s Superman and everything else happening in the Arrowverse!
