As one of very rare actors to compete Superman on clip, and part of an even more exclusive club who have portrayed two heroes in the same universe, Brandon has thrilled audiences with Superman Returns, had adventures across time as The Atom in Legends of Tomorrow and the Arrowverse, and has shown us all the authentic psychic power of a bass playing super vegan in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World!
