ARROW: First Look at Brandon Routh as The Atom

After much hype from Arrow's showrunners and costume designer, we finally get to see Brandon Routh in costume as The Atom. Ever since Ray Palmer (played by Routh) appeared on the Arrow, he's kind of been the anti-Arrow. He's a self-made billionaire, highly proficient with technology, a sharp businessman, and when he becomes a superhero you can clearly see his face.

I saw someone say that this role is a huge superhero downgrade for Routh, but I think Palmer/Atom on Arrow is far more interesting than the Superman we saw in Superman Returns. As for the suit, I like it's functional feel and how it's more Edge of Tomorrow than Iron Man. I've enjoyed this season of Arrow and can't wait to see the Atom armor in action.
