Check out The Atom’s New Costume!

Warner Brothers just released the first image of Brandon Routh in the New Atom costume. I must say, it’s pretty much better than all the comic-book versions of the Atom (that’s just my opinion…).

  • Although Green Lantern has met to make an appearance on Arrow, characters have made several references to Coast City on the show. Coast City is home to Hal Jordan, the most famous of the Green Lanterns.
  • The producers are planning a “Flash” spinoff series. Grant Gustin is currently guest starring on Arrow playing Flash’s alter ego Barry Allen.
