Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Is Brandon Routh Suiting Up as The Atom?

Fans have been debating if Brandon Routh would actually suit up as The Atom on either Arrow or its more super-powered counterpart, The Flash. The actor recently tweeted a photo that could shed a little light on the situation.

Routh tweeted a picture of himself seemingly getting fitted for a mask with the caption "All in a day's work" and the hashtags #RayPalmer and #Arrow. Does this mean his character is getting ready to don the mask?

Last month, Routh spoke to MTV News about suiting up as The Atom. "From the beginning, when I met with Marc [Guggenheim] and Andrew [Kreisberg], they mentioned that they were thinking of doing a flashback episode all about Ray, or just about the day that something happened in his life at the same time that it happened in other characters' lives," Routh said.

It sounds like the actor is referring to the particle accelerator explosion that occurred on The Flash and gave Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) his super speed. The accident also gave powers to several other people, so why not Ray Palmer? Routh further hinted at this possibility when he discussed the differences between the two series.

"Marc said that if the shrinking was going to happen, it's more likely to be on The Flash," he said. "But I have no knowledge of a crossover or any of that. Arrow is very grounded in reality, so nobody really has any powers. That is a challenging thing, to have you bring a character like the Atom in, with his trademark thing being that he shrinks."

"Just because he's not shrinking doesn't mean that he might not be doing something else, or be involved in some other kind of superhero-y way," Routh said in reference to The Atom costume. "I know that there is some type of suit thing happening, though I'm not at liberty to discuss much. But it looks cool, and I would be happy to wear it."
