Arrowverse Cast Members’ Reactions about Brandon Routh’s Superman
Arrow’sDavid Ramsey on Brandon Routh
“Seeing him in the Superman outfit was just — everybody just gasped,”
Arrow’sDavid RamseyonBrandon Routh
“Brandon looked like a Greek God. He looked like 6'6” or 6'7’’, muscles everywhere, a little grey in his hair. It was just perfect. And he just had this thing about him. His hands were always on his hips. He was golden era Superman… You think about Superman and if you say the words super man — he looked like a super man… Your eyes just couldn’t get off of Brandon.“
The Flash’sCarlos ValdesonBrandon Routh
"It was really fun watching Brandon Routh just like flip over and change over from Ray Palmer to being essentially Super-Brandon — that’s what we’ve been calling him,”
The Flash’sCarlos ValdesonBrandon Routh
“It’s super weird but also really gratifying to watch him play these two characters, you know? It means a lot, not just for the fans and the writers, but also for Brandon himself. I think that’s part of what fascinates me about him playing these two characters is that I have to imagine there’s a personal component as well. I’m just sort of caught in all the different imaginings of what this must mean for him to revisit that character while also playing out the rest of this character.”
The Flash’sHartley SawyeronBrandon Routh
“That was one of the coolest things that I’ve ever gotten to do in my life, just seeing [Brandon Routh] walk out in the costume. Like, ‘Holy Toledo! That’s that guy, that’s him,’”
The Flash’sHartley SawyeronBrandon Routh
“Brandon has a deep, deep understanding of what Superman really represents and what that character is really about, and to see somebody who plays that character so well and then to learn the understanding that he has and the thought that he’s put into it? That was really cool. I kind of just bowed down before him because it was like, 'Man, not only are you so good at this, but you get it. You completely get it!’”
[Just a rumor] There might beSuperman mini series starring Brandon Routh.
I’ve wanted a TV show or a movie or anything starring Brandon Routh as Superman for a long time. So I wish this rumor is true so bad. Time will tell. We’ll see.
