Brandon Routh to Reprise His Big-Screen Superman Role for CW’s ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ CrossoverBrandon Routh is coming back as his big-screen Superman, reprising the role for The CW’s upcoming “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover.

Routh already plays a character in the CW universe, starring on “Legends of Tomorrow” as Ray Palmer aka The Atom. He is expected to play both. Routh starred in the 2006 film “Superman Returns” that was directed by Bryan Singer. It was supposed to be the start of a new franchise but fell below expectations, grossing $391 million at the global box office, and had a lukewarm reception by audiences.

Tyler Hoechlin, who plays the version of Superman that had shown up in the “Arrowverse” — mostly in “Supergirl” — will return as well.

Since the “Arrowverse” is part of a larger multi-verse, it is possible for two different actors to play the same character.
