Actor Brandon Routh sits down with Taboo to share his journey from a small-town kid in Iowa to becoming Superman on the big screen in Superman Returns. In this conversation, Brandon opens up about childhood nostalgia (toys, comics, 80s shows, even his Superman pajamas), his love of music and writing, and the unexpected path that brought him to Hollywood. Brandon reflects on his uncanny connection to Christopher Reeve, the legacy of Superman across generations, and the surreal moment of being cast as Clark Kent. He also talks about stepping into other superhero roles in the Arrowverse (Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash), working in early soap operas and music videos, and the importance of creativity, compassion, and imagination in his life. From stories about the Dream Team and Michael Jordan to his time on set with Christina Aguilera, this episode goes beyond the cape to show the man behind Superman — his influences, values, and the lessons he’s carried into Hollywood.
