12 Arrowverse Actors You’ve Seen In The DC Universe Before

Who could have predicted back in 2012 that Arrow would eventually spawn not one, not two but three equally successful TV series? In 2014, we got The Flash and then both Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl came along in 2015. That's not to mention the kind of related Constantine and animated miniseries Vixen. It's so big now, in fact, that this corner of the DC world has become its own mini-franchise - dubbed the Arrowverse.

Arrowverse Role: Arrow/The Flash/Legends of Tomorrow/Vixen as Ray Palmer/The Atom

Other DC Universe Roles: Superman Returns as Clark Kent/Superman, The Batman as Everywhere Man

Most of the actors on this list – with the exception of semi-regular character John Wesley Shipp – are just guest stars. Brandon Routh, however, is a main character of the Arrow universe, as he’s turned up as Ray Palmer/The Atom across the three central shows.

Of course, as any Superman fan knows, he’d previously played the Man of Steel himself on the big screen in 2006’s Superman Returns. That same year, he also lent his voice to the villain of an episode of The Batman.
