In an interview with Michael Rosenbaum, Brandon Routh acknowledged that playing Superman once again, now for television, touched him as the first time he wore the mantle of the Man of Steel on the big screen.
“The first time (I played Superman) there was so much pressure that I was trying not to look and couldn’t even size it. I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to do this and I’m going to appreciate it in the next (movie), I’ll relax in the next one. I just have to get over this. ‘ I didn’t have the conscience that I have now”.

Routh recalls that wearing the Man of Steel suit for the Arrowverse, which was inspired by Kingdom Come, was a definitive process to heal those psychological wounds created by the Bryan Singer-directed film.
“The first day I got to the set, I was filming the Batwoman episode… it was the first time I had ever appeared as Superman on it. And I just thought, ‘I already did… Even if this was the only scene I’m doing, the emotional wound or scar left by my experience in Superman Returns was mostly healed.’ ”.
