February 16, 2024: Could Brandon Routh Return as Superman in His Own TV Series?
Brandon Routh's portrayal of Superman in 2006's "Superman Returns" remains a cherished memory for many fans. While the film itself had a mixed reception, Routh's earnest charm and physical embodiment of the Man of Steel resonated deeply, leaving audiences wanting more. Now, with the ever-expanding landscape of superhero television, whispers of Routh's return as Superman are swirling once again.Routh's Superman journey didn't end with "Superman Returns." He donned the red and blue tights once more for the epic Arrowverse crossover event, "Crisis on Infinite Earths," reprising his role as the Kingdom Come-inspired Superman of Earth-96. His powerful presence and emotional performance reignited the flame of hope for a dedicated Routh-led Superman project.
Today, Arrowverse executive producer Marc Guggenheim teased a potential "Superman Returns" sequel series on Twitter/X, stating, "Brandon and I have talked about a sequel series. We have some really exciting ideas..."
But what makes Routh such a compelling choice for the Man of Steel on television? His portrayal perfectly captures the essence of Superman: his unwavering hope, unwavering heroism, and vulnerability beneath the surface. Routh brings a genuine warmth and earnestness to the role, making him incredibly relatable. Additionally, his experience with the character across both film and television gives him a unique understanding of Superman's complexities.
With "Superman & Lois" set to conclude with the upcoming fourth and final season, Routh's Superman could exist on a separate Earth, similar to his appearance in "Crisis," offering a distinct take on the character without stepping on any toes or creating any confusion regarding continuity.
Ultimately, the question of whether Routh will return to the role of Superman remains unanswered. But with Guggenheim's cryptic tease and the looming end to "Superman & Lois," the possibility seems more likely than ever. Whether it's a full-fledged series or a limited event, one thing's for sure: Brandon Routh's Superman might still take flight.
