Prepare to finally meet The Atom!

Ever since Superman Returns star Brandon Routh made his debut as Ray Palmer on Arrow this season, fans have eagerly been awaiting his other debut: as the Atom. Well, the wait is finally over.

We have your first look at Routh in the Atom costume. And. He. Looks. Awesome! And very futuristic, no?

But when will viewers get to see the suit in action? Ray will first don the Atom suit in the CW hit's Feb. 25 episode. So mark your calendars now, people!

And fans should get used to seeing a lot more of Routh in the costume as the CW is eyeing a potential Atom spinoff, with Arrow and The Flash boss Greg Berlanti revealing, "We're in very early talks on a very general idea that we haven't dug deeper yet." The CW president Mark Pedowitz hedged, "There's room for a lot of things, but we're not there...preliminary discussions."

No stranger to the DC Comics universe after his stint as Superman back in 2006, Routh said he's definitely open to starring in his own show despite some initial hesitation to joining Arrow. "When [the Arrow role] was proposed, I was hesitant to step into DC world again," he said. "I never thought it would happen and that I would play, in my mind, a pivotal character. It's been nothing but an amazing experience. I'd love to keep playing this character."
