I just read that not only will Tyler Hoechlin be back to play Superman for the Infinite Crisis crossover... but so will Brandon Routh!

It's true!

From Deadline: "Tyler Hoechlin & Brandon Routh to Suit Up As Superman for Arrowverse Crossover on The CW"

Supergirl never could resist stunt casting, but this is actually pretty sharp.

For those who don't watch all the Arrowverse shows, each of them ended this last season with a tease to Crisis:

Arrow: In the near future, The Monitor arrives after Mia's birth and reminds Oliver of his deal in last year's crossover, that he would "do whatever the multiverse requires." That means dealing with the Crisis, and The Monitor says that he has seen Oliver's death, and nothing can change that. He takes Oliver away. In 2040, The Monitor appears to take a 21-year-older Felicity to "be with" Oliver, whatever that means.
The Flash: The season ended with a new timeline overwriting the old one, eliminating Nora West-Allen from history and freeing Zoom in Nora's future, where he was about to be executed by the authorities. "See you in the next Crisis!" he tells Barry, which Barry doesn't understand but we do. Or Maybe Barry does understand, because ever since the first season we've been teased with a newspaper front page that tells of The Flash's disappearance under red skies during some sort of "crisis." The newspaper has always been dated 2024. But the new timeline changed the date to ... 2019.
Supergirl: The Monitor appears with a hooded figure and tells him that he can finally avenge himself on the brother who wronged him. The other figure removes his hood and he's a green Martian. No, he's not T'omm J'onzz, who appeared once in the 1950s as J'onn's brother, which is a tragedy. The credits call him Malefic J'onzz. The Monitor leaves, saying he has one more stop to make. He appears before Lex Luthor's dead body, and takes it with him.
Legends: The Monitor appears in the audience as the Legends perform at Heyworld. He eats popcorn and watches the show. This is my absolute favorite appearance so far.

I can't pinpoint it, but in some recent(?) episode Flash and Supergirl were running and were in danger of disintegrating. They stopped in time, but they were flickering. I see this as an homage to their deaths in the original Infinite Crisis.

This is neither here nor there, but I noticed a $1 reprint of Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 shipped this week.

Captain Comics September 28, 2019 at 1:50pm

Because everything is, ultimately, about me, here's my latest column on "Crisis." I think it came out the week of Aug. 18, so the casting comments above have more information.

So far, all the information about Tom Welling keeps mentioning that he will reprise his role as Clark Kent. I can't believe they'd have him on set and NOT put him in a Super-suit, especially with two others running around (Brandon Routh, Tyler Hoechlin). But I have noticed that consistency, and thought it worth mention.

Too bad about Michael Rosenbaum -- seeing him try to out-evil Jon Cryer would have been fun. But to be honest, the one past actor I really want to see is Justin Hartley as the Smallville Green Arrow. For one thing, the "death of Green Arrow" could mean HIM and not Stephen Amell.
