Over the past three seasons, pills Arrow has introduced a number of comic book goodies and baddies to the small screen, ambulance and yet only Deathstroke has displayed any super-powered abilities. At a Q&A last month, showrunner Marc Guggenheim even told reporters, “With ‘The Flash’ in existence, there’s no real compelling reason for us to do super powers on ‘Arrow.’ “ Thus indicating that Ray Palmer’s alter-ego, The Atom, would not be using his shrinking abilities on the show.

But that doesn’t mean that The Atom won’t show up in some capacity before season 3 is over. In fact, earlier this year while filming episode 6, Routh made some noise when he told fans he’d actually already seen concept drawings of The Atom’s costume. At the time, Routh wasn’t sure when exactly he’d get to suit up, but it looks like that moment is getting closer.

Because earlier this week, Brandon Routh posted a picture of himself getting prepped to play The Atom. See that pic and find out more about his secret identity on Arrow.
