Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Brandon Routh on Suiting Up as The Atom on 'Arrow' or 'The Flash'

When Arrow fans learned that Brandon Routh had joined Season 3 as Ray Palmer, they soon began to wonder if the actor would put on a superhero costume of his own and suit up as The Atom. The show's producers have said "anything is possible," and now Routh has added his two cents.

"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 told MTV News.

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."

Do you think we'll see Routh suit up as The Atom on Arrow, The Flash, both or neither? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
