That scene from The Simpsons is still one of my favourite moments from the show, ever!
I am addicted to CW's Arrow, it's like having 20+ episodes of a Nolan Batman movie every season.
I am also one of the few people that loved Bryan Singer's Superman Returns.
I have stated on multiple occasions how the film gave me the closure on the Reeve's & Donner' cinematic universe.
I recognise and agree with the criticisms levelled at that film, yet I still like it.
Until recently, aside from an epic small role in Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Zack and Miri Make a Porno, it seemed that Brandon Routh had been another victim of the Superman Curse.
However, now with Arrow, it seems he could be on the verge of defining a character for himself, as opposed to doing a great Christopher Reeve impression.
Here's our first look at him as The Atom!
Now for a small screen show, this looks pretty damn good!
The best thing about Arrow, and it's fellow CW show The Flash, is the effort that the studio, producers, directors and cast put into making it feel bigger than a TV series.
The Atom is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by editor and co-plotter Julius Schwartz, writer Gardner Fox and penciler Gil Kane, he was one of the first superheroes of the Silver Age of comic books, debuting in Showcase # 34 (Oct. 1961).
Ray Palmer is the Atom, the Mighty Mite, a superhero with the ability to shrink to incredible sizes while retaining his full density, making him a formidable combatant. He was a member of the original Justice League of America, where he gained a great deal of respect from his peers. Aside from his crime-fighting career, he is also one of the world's top scientific minds, given his background as a brilliant physicist. He is capable of shrinking to subatomic sizes, and explores the universe on a frontier unknown to any other man. - DC Wiki
