After several episodes teasing Ray Palmer’s evolution into the Atom on Arrow, we now have a first look at the finalized suit. The CW has released the following promotional image, featuring former Superman Brandon Routh donning his A.T.O.M. exosuit.

As a fan of the 90s CBS Flash series one of my favorite running gags was Officer Tony Bellows and his partner, Michael Murphy.  The pair spends most of the series encounter Barry’s alter ego and debating whether or not they saw what they saw.  It seems I was in good company, as Vito D’Ambrosio will be reprising his role as Tony Bellows, the Mayor of Central City. D’Ambrosio follows the lead of John Wesley Shipp, Amanda Pays and Mark Hamill.  Like Hamill and Pays, he’s playing a character of the same name but in a new position.  He will be reunited with both Shipp and Hamill in episode seventeen…
