Brandon Routh and Tyler Hoechlin will both reprise Superman roles in Arrowverse crossover

Deadline

Both Routh and Hoechlin are already members of the Arrowverse — Hoechlin recurs as Superman on Supergirl, while Routh plays Ray Palmer/The Atom on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow. Yet Routh has never reprised his Superman role since playing the Man of Steel in the 2006 Bryan Singer-directed film Superman Returns. Both Routh and Hoechlin will portray Superman in different time frames on the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover. "Honored, humbled, grateful, and still pinching myself," Routh tweeted of the news.
