10 Best Arrowverse Performances Of 2019
6. Brandon Routh
Show: Batwoman, The Flash
Episode: 'Crisis On Infinite Earths' Parts 2 and 3
Brandon Routh has been one of the Arrowverse's most consistent players over the past half-decade, making us all laugh and love him as the adorable Ray Palmer on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but it was this year's crossover, Crisis On Infinite Earths, that finally allowed him to shine.
Reprising his Superman Returns role, Routh donned that iconic uniform one more time - except this time, it was the Kingdom Come version. And he delivered a performance that reminded us all why he deserved so much more credit for bringing the Man of Steel to life in the first place - because that's exactly what he did all over again.
'Even in the darkest of times, hope cuts through,' - this Superman's answer as to why he was so hopeful in spite of the loss he had suffered. And if that doesn't sum up Supes in a nutshell, nothing will. Routh is the Man of Steel personified.
