Arrow Brandon Routh IS Ray Palmer/The Atom

[The Infernal]

They are so going to get into legal trouble for Atom's suit.

Spoiler

Chinese Stealth Armor

There will be some fallout for sure.

Honestly, after the recent crossover with the Flash, they shouldn't hesitate anymore in having Palmer go full out Atom on the show.

Not sure they're hesitating, more that they're building towards it.

I don't understand, they didn't change anything...

Unless it was a placeholder for finished CGI, that is just not them to cheat/steal.

 

[luis4u]

They are certainly going for something tied to the OMACs.


It's way too coincidental.



And Ray's suit looks similar to..

 

[Nathan]

How does the suit look anything like an almost naked looking, giant Cyclops?

 

[The Infernal]

Was it featured in an actual promo or is there only that still picture of the suit? I'm wondering if it could be a hoax. Otherwise as antsman41 said, maybe it's a place holder?

Perhaps it's worth doing an analysis of the new picture and the holographic schematics picture side by side.

 

[Nathan]

It was from a Promo. But the Promo was also only something someone recorded with a camera. I doubt it's a hoax though. I only pray that it's a placeholder.

They are Probably going for something Like this in the final product

 

[The Infernal]

That art is an interesting design. I would hope to see something that's a bit more colourful than Arrow's typical dark take on costumes.

 

[king666]

WTF is up with the Fallout costume?

 

[king666]

Probably just a placeholder.

 

[Lencho01]

I'm not buying that promo is legit until I see it myself. The suit looks nothing like what they showed us, not sure why they'd need to make an exact mold of Routh for it, and what's up with the WB watermark rather than a CW one?

 

[Orb]

The promo in question

 

[gugumugats]

A.T.O.M. stands for Advanced technology operating mechanism?

 

[Lencho01]

Well, that promo explains the WB watermark.

Not sure why they used that suit instead of the one they showed in the show.

A: Now that we've seen a glimpse of Ray Palmer's plans for the Atom suit, expect to see the CEO get physical pretty soon! "There are going to be some things happening in Starling City in the second half of the year that pretty much affect all of our characters," executive producer Marc Guggenheim says. "I don't think anyone really comes away from the events unscathed, both physically and emotionally."

Arrow Casting Hints At Larger Role For Brandon Routh?

 

[charl_huntress]

I will say upfront I am probably one of the worst Routh bashers on this board due to his turn in Superman Returns, but I have really loved him as Palmer on Arrow. His enthusiasm and energy is very akin to the Palmer I know from the comics and I just like Routh's style in the role.

Though I still have moments when dismal memories from SR pop into my head, I am able to quickly dismiss those because I just like the dude... in this role.

 

[super85]

I have always liked Routh. I think he is fun as Ray Palmer.

 

[Naked Shia]

I didn't care for him in SR, nor did I hate him. He's a scene stealer as Ray though.

 

[luis4u]

Watching new episodes of #Arrow. @BrandonJRouth is killing it. Such an awesome addition to #Arrow. #TheAtom

[Micromind]

I think that Routh has performed well so far, I'm am waiting to see him as ATOM.

 

[The Infernal]

I think that Routh has performed well so far, I'm am waiting to see him as ATOM.

Me too. I've really enjoyed him on the show. I want to see the show delve more into his character though. We've seen some shades of that with the revelations about his motivation recently, but I want to see more sides to him.

This is a way better look than what's in that promo
