Considering how costly the Atom live-action suit is, a more traditional Atom probably would have been cheaper anyways...

Yeah and it's not like they really go together, shrinking and high tech suit, or have any relation. Now that I know it was supposed to be Blue Beetle it makes sense.
It would actually have worked really well. Utilizing Ted's smarts to make a suit rather than just a good fighter. I think that they went with the suit and the tech because it's kind of similar to the new 52 design they had at the time. So maybe they were trying to push that awfulness as well.
I'm just glad they kept the shrinking. It does look pretty cool.

I would say Bumblebee and Wasp are in the top 5 of size changing heroes.
Yeah they were going to use Ted but then Berlanti started a Blue & Gold script that has been in development hell since what Arrow season 2 or 3? I think. They started teasing Kord Industries and stuff too before.

The Arrowverse version of Ray is so powerful it's unreal to me. Not saying he's at all weak but he had such a power buff for the show. He goes from size manipulation with a bit of density manipulation to that plus a super suit that can fly, shoot energy beams, has lasers, super strength, help breath in space and probably some other powers I'm forgetting.

Poor Kord Industries, always getting broken into while it's CEO continues to remain off-screen .
Supposedly the suit costs so much to replace that they might be trying to cut down on using it in-case they break it and need to get a new one.
Or it could just be that Legends is becoming less and less of a Superhero show in each subsequent season. They barely ever wear their costumes.
I wonder if they still would gone with an Iron Man-styled suit if they had kept him as Blue Beetle.
I feel the same way. I used to think an Atom live-action would be tough because it's hard to convey the weight-changing ability without some kind of exposition (IMO, The Vision has this same problem with density control). However, after watching Ant-Man I came to the conclusion that it can be done.

I forgot where I first heard of The Atom. I think it was random, during New 52, where people talked about him because he didn't show up until later. So the first version I read about him was this one.

He's also one of those characters where I have to ask... okay, which version is this one, again? Which one is the original? Ray or Ryan?
Technically the first Atom was the Golden Age Atom, Al Pratt.
Ray Palmer was the Silver Age Atom ala Hal Jordan Green Lantern and Barry Allen Flash, and he's the one who coined the Atom's iconic costume and size-changing gimmick.
Ryan Choi is the third Atom who succeeded Ray.
