First photos of Brandon Routh as Kingdom Come Superman in Crisis On Infinite Earths:

Looks really good. I have never watched any of the Arrowverse shows but this looks interesting. I liked Brandon Routh in Superman Returns.

Edit: Can someone fix the title?

 

[Tesseract]

i always wonder if singer dicked him

top shot looks good

 

[Stilton Disco]

Such a shame Superman Returns just couldn't stick the landing at the end of the movie. A sequel doing more of it's own thing could have been amazing.

Great to see Roth back in the suit though. My wife's a big fan and I've taken her to get his autograph at a couple of conventions. Really great, warm and passionate guy who obviously cares about his roles and doing these characters justice.

 

[J-Roderton]

Wait. They’re doing Kingdom Come??

 

[jts]

Nice granny panties.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Wait. They’re doing Kingdom Come??

Its a TV show that is part of the Arrowverse. Tom Welling from Smallville and Kevin Conroy will also appear:

Pretty cool how far they are going with this crossover. I haven't watched the shows in over 4 years so perhaps I'll give them a shot again.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Looks good.

He needs to hit the gym a bit more though.

 

[VulcanRaven]

That costume reminds me of the Fleischer Studios Superman:

 

[kunonabi]

Costume isnt bad but Routh is a little too young looking and his hair a bit long to pull off Kingdom Come Superman. Still looks 100 times better than Supergirl's shitty Superman.

 

[triplestation]

Hit them shoulders son and eat bigger

From the neck up he looks puny

 

[Kenpachii]

Update the outfit. it aged badly.

 

[kunonabi]

Update the outfit. it aged badly.

Nah, all the modern updates have looked like shit.

 

[GreyHorace]

Outfit looks good, but I don't buy Routh as an old Superman. Let alone the Kingdom Come incarnation.

Hope he gets to do his own take on the character. Last time he donned the cape, he was doing an impression of Christopher Reeve. I want Routh to try something new and make the character his own.

 

[MisterHero]

That costume reminds me of the Fleischer Studios Superman:

Mr. Ross is a man of culture. Golden Age Supes was perfect.

None of the living actors fit it obviously but they've all added something to the character.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Kind of off topic but has the Specter made an appearance in the Arrowverse ? I remember him being in the comic Crisis on Infinite Earths

 

[DESTROYA]

Isn’t he ATOM already in the Arrowverse? How they going to pull that off?

 

[Caffeine]

ye they getting the smallville cast too, clark kent coming back

 

[Teslerum]

Well, except for the one with the sex cult.

 

[Caffeine]

Well, except for the one with the sex cult.

both lana was in that cult too. for a short time.

I think they should just cast him as Superman again if Henry Cavill doesn't want to play him anymore.

 

[KOMANI]

Imagine this is the thing that pushes warners to go back to Routh. Then the movies and tv shows become connected through Superman.

 

[Constant Flux]

Henry Cavill is the best Superman EVAR! Fuck Brandon Routh in his stupid asshole.

OH HELL YEAH

don't you dare shit on reeves tho

 

[DeepEnigma]

The black part of the S almost looks like a boob window.

 

[JimmyJones]

i always wonder if singer dicked him

Singer dicks who he wants. He's probably dicked Gandalf as well or vice versa.

 

[Constant Flux]

OH HELL YEAH

don't you dare shit on reeves tho

Reeves shit on himself all the time. Like literally.

 

[MisterHero]

i'm gonna be soooo bummed if they get all these obscure characters and not get Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Reeves shit on himself all the time. Like literally.

Such a dick statement yo..lol. I agree Cavill is a good Superman he just needs good writing/directing . He was WAY too brooding in BvS and wasn't til the end of JL did I kinda see the Supes I knew growing up. Even in the beginning when he was talking to the children the way I know him he would've actually knelt down to talk to them and not look off into the distance .

I really hope this is good , it's my first time diving into the CW stuff so I'm kinda excited .I wanna know how deep into comic lore they'll go ..we could see a Mandrakk (Dark Monitor) or even Cosmic Armor Superman . When does this start again?

 

[kunonabi]

Even outside of the writing I don't think Cavill works as Supes. He just always comes off as a condescending frat guy even when he isn't brooding.

 

[Constant Flux]

Such a dick statement yo..lol.

I was just kidding. Lol. But I didn't really grow up liking Reeves as Superman. I'm into Cavill myself.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Even outside of the writing I don't think Cavill works as Supes. He just always comes off as a condescending frat guy even when he isn't brooding.

I still honestly feel it's the writing . I feel like I'd need to see him with better writers/directors before I say it's him . Something I feel the movies we've seen him in so far they have failed to make him kind. He was a good guy and did what was right and saved people(when not dropping buildings on them) but he never came across as a kind hearted person , just someone that was there to do what he was supposed to do .

I was just kidding. Lol. But I didn't really grow up liking Reeves as Superman. I'm into Cavill myself.

I know it wasn't serious, I'm not going to lie I chuckled to myself .

Teri Hatcher

❤❤❤

Boots don’t look super. Also strange feet position?

Seriously, wtf. Looks like a funky drawn comics angle.

The boots look like Yeezys cowboy boots.

 

[GymWolf]

Not a superman fan or expert but did he forget the red panties outside of the costume for the photoshoot??

Is he fighting conor mcgregor??

 

[Queso de Grande]

Routh really fits the Superman look much better Cavill.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Would love to see Routh coming back as a more Reevesy Superman.

I liked Cavills take on him, but in the end Routh was much more of what I want to see as Superman.

 

[TGO]

From one Superman to another
Pic of Tom Welling on set with the new Clark Kent.
But WTF lol the new Superman is small compared to Tom

 

[Vinter]

Tyler Hoechlin's Superman sucks in my opinion. Will probably watch this event because of the return of all those characters. Maybe that will get me through the terrible writing in these shows.

Tyler got saddled with a crap costume and being supergirl's bitch.

That said, he was never fit to wear Welling's CG trunks regardless.

Dude, Cavill is dying to play Superman. It’s WB that seemingly doesn’t want him to play the role anymore.

Not bad but I have issue with the way the boots design.

He hasn't aged much. He looks just like he did in 2006.

 

[MisterHero]

I'm sorta doubting how in-line Routh is with the actual Kingdom Come Supes. It's not a big deal, but losing Lois or repairing the entire midwestern farmland is probably a bigger deal to him than being editor-in-chief. Also his identity was known at the end of KC.

Did he get EiC because Joker killed everyone else? What a goofy expression for this revelation. ;P

 

[desertdroog]

The best Superman ever put to film/digital media is still Homelander laser eye beaming drug manufacturers to the Clash's "Rock the Casbah"

Change my mind.

Spoiler

WB are fucking stupid then. No wonder the MCU crushes their cinematic efforts.

 

[KOMANI]

Apparently he’s playing the same Supes from the Reeves continuity.

they should go ham and bring back terence stamp

KNEEL BEFORE OLD ZOD

 

[KorbinDallas]

Really comforting to see Welling again.

Hopefully Cavill can keep the cape. Bring back the tone of MoS and you've got another solid film.
