Brandon Routh is opening up about getting the chance to play Superman once again in the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover.

The Legends of Tomorrow actor reprised his Clark Kent/Superman role from Superman Returns, and he dished about returning to the character while appearing at Build Series by Yahoo on Tuesday (December 10) in New York City.

“We found out about the landscape of the season before we started shooting. Then, about two weeks later or something, I got a call from Marc Guggenheim, who’s kind of the puppet master of the crossover extravaganza. He said, ‘Hey, you know, I know this is happening with Legends and I’m over here doing the crossover, and we want you to be part of it as Ray Palmer and The Atom, but would you consider… I have this idea, we’re doing Crisis On Infinite Earths. Would you be interested in putting on a different suit also?’” Brandon said.

“And I thought, ‘Oh I know where you’re going with this.’ I said, ‘Look, I’m really honored that you even ask me. Is everybody really okay with this? Is this something if I say yes, is this really going to happen?’” he added. “I said I just need to settle with this and think about his for a little bit and talk it over with Courtney [Ford] and realize that you know, it was a good decision and that no matter how much he appeared on screen, no matter what he did, just being able to come back and reprise this role that would help complete the journey of Superman for me.”

“My first gut instinct was like ‘Yeah, yeah!’ but I had to consider and understand where the story was going to be like and the landscape for that,” Brandon continued. “There’s only so much you ever really have control of and I knew that no matter, again, even if it was just Superman coming in saying, ‘Hi, nice to see ya,’ and walking out, that that still would have been okay for me.”

“For me, it wasn’t just presence on screen, it was the whole thing, the costume fitting… the whole part of it was healing in many ways for me.”

The third part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths aired last night (December 10) during an episode of The Flash and there was more death.

In the episode, Pariah (Tom Cavanagh) enlists Black Lightning (Cress Williams) to help stop the Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) after Flash-90 (John Wesley Shipp) shares what he learned from his battle in ‘Elseworlds.’

With the help of Black Lightning, Barry (Grant Gustin), Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) come up with a plan that could save them all.

Crisis On Infinite Earths will take a hiatus for the holidays and return with parts four and five in January 2020!

Tom Welling‘s Clark Kent made a brief appearance in part two of Crisis On Infinite Earths!

The episode was held during an episode of Batwoman, airing at a special time, and the actor reprised his beloved role from the hit show Smallville.

“Honestly, he was terrific,” crossover showrunner Marc Guggenheim said, via TV Line. “He basically said to me, ‘You guys have basically written the one scene that I can’t say no to,’ which was really, really nice… I feel like every note, even Tom’s little facial expression when he says, ‘Oh, still stronger,’ is great.”

“We knew that we really wanted Brandon Routh to be Clark Kent in The Daily Planet,” Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries added. “I think the Tom Welling Clark Kent that we all picture when we think of him is Clark on the farm. So it made sense that the farm is still there, and Tom was joking when he was there, ‘Oh, that cow recognized me.’ It all felt very 10 years ago in a great way.”

Iris West-Allen and Lois Lane read up on a solution in this still from tonight’s Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two episode.

In the new hour, the group uses Ray’s (Brandon Routh) invention to track new recruits to help save the universe. The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) sends Iris (Candice Patton), Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) in search of a mysterious Kryptonian, while Kate (Ruby Rose) and Kara (Melissa Benoist) head out to find Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy).

In addition, Mia (Katherine McNamara) challenges Sara (Caity Lotz); Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers a hidden talent, and Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) returns.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two airs TONIGHT, December 9th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
