Brandon Routh to suit up as Atom, but not on 'Arrow' -- at least 'The Flash' is open to everything

The Atom is coming to both the Arrow and The Flash, but for those who are expecting the character to suit up and shrink down on Arrow, think again. Apparently, the show runners are more interested in keeping things more down to Earth on Arrow, so super-powered villains and heroes will not be much of a thing.

It is quite strange the writers and producers of Arrow have chosen to shy away from heroes and villains having super powers on the show. The Flash is in the same universe as Arrow, so we see no reason for the Atom to never use his powers whenever he's featured on the Arrow.
