Arrowverse creator Marc Guggenheim sets the record straight following his initial DC tease about a potential Superman sequel TV show starring Brandon Routh.
As his initial post about a Superman series with Routh went viral, Guggenheim is clearing up more on his initial tweet, sharing the following:
One such follower asked if I had any promotional photos of [Brandon] Routh as Superman from the Crisis on Infinite Earths event that I showran. Thinking nothing of it, I posted what I had on my Dropbox and casually mentioned & because I thought it was a fun little nugget & that Brandon and I had talked about some kind of “sequel series” for his version of Superman.
"Well, that little comment kinda went viral. A friend of mine, a comic shop owner, texted me that suddenly his Facebook feed was nothing but articles about the comment & some of which exaggerated said comment into a 'possibility' (there is none that I can reasonably conceive of) or even 'talks' (which haven’t happened, unless you count Brandon’s and my little chats)."
"I share because it’s (a) an amusing anecdote that demonstrates how even the most innocuous of comments can, occasionally, go viral; and (b) a great example of how much love there still is for the Arrowverse. I don’t often write about the latter in this newsletter because I want it to be forward-facing as opposed to backwards-looking, but I really am humbled by and grateful for all the passion fans still have for our little endeavor
