"Arrow" season 3 spoilers revealed the hiring of Brandon Routh in a recurring role of Ray Palmer of the superhero The Atom. Batman villain Ra's Al Ghul is also reportedly going to appear in future episodes.
Michael Ausiello of TVLine revealed "Arrow" season 3 spoilers when he wrote that Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns") will become The Attow in the series.
"An unparalleled scientist and inventor, Ray will play an unexpected role in the lives of Oliver and (rumored love interest) Felicity as the new owner of Queen Consolidated. Palmer's plans for Queen Consolidated's Applied Sciences Division will be shrouded in mystery," TVLine reported.
In the DC comics universe, The Atom can change his size without actually losing his strength. He can also cut down his mass enabling him to simulate flight just like Wonder Woman or increasing his mass so he can punch through a hard object.
Meanwhile, Stephen Amell reveaed "Arrow" season 3 spoilers during the Phoenix Comic Con last month that villains in the "Batman" series might appear next season.
"Clerks" director Kevin Smith and artist Neal Adams talked about the possible Ra's Al Ghul appearance on "Arrow" during the "Fat Man on Batman" podcast.
When Neal Adams told Kevin Smith about rumors of Ra's Al Ghul appearance, the director said, "Yeah, I've heard. They were casting like six months ago."
Neal Adams added that "Arrow" could do a better Ra's Al Ghul that what was portrayed in Christopher Nolan's vision, played by Liam Neeson.
"I have a feeling they are heading for that on the 'Arrow' TV show. Something's going on there, and if it's who I think it is, it's going to be pretty exciting," the comic artist said.
