Wow that looks awesome.

"that's not the flash! he looks like Daredevil. they should give him goggles"

regular ign commentary

 

[-Nam rorriM-]

I like it a lot, I think this is a good compromise for tv. I do wish there was a little more yellow, but as for most of it, it's quite good. Glad they didn't go with goggles. My only concern is how flexible will the actor be within the suit. Flash would be a waste if the movement looks stiff

 

[DaJanksta]

I like it but honestly it should be a little brighter red imo.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

The material on the legs just doesn't make sense but it doesn't ruin it for me, people are trying to argue it's the same material that Arrow wears on his pants, which even moreso proves it was a design choice aesthetically not for functionality.

 

[Fizicks]

I was initially kind of bummed that we'll be seeing Quicksilver first on the big screen (in Avengers 2) before seeing Flash, hence the possiblity that the general public will think "DC copied Marvel's speedster".

But now at least we're getting a TV version of Flash first. Granted, it will reach a far smaller audience than Avengers 2, but still, better than nothing.

 

[The Guard]

I like it. A tad generic, but functional, and with just enough "personality" to work.

And recognizeably The Flash.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Cripes, a superhero suit without useless armour or excessive rubber detailing. How about that?

Man, I REALLY hope the Batsuit has all of the above just to piss you off.

Anyways, I really like the suit, but I wish the red could have been brighter. That's OK though, because at the end of the day it really doesn't matter.

 

[Kevin Smith]

What about your thoughts on the whole costume!

Holy ****ing ass crackers! Not bad....needs the gold lightning trim, the white circle behind the chest symbol (although this logo actually looks better than I'd expected, I don't prefer it though), and the right ear pieces (how Ethan Van Sciver draws them in Flash: Rebirth), but for CW this is well above what's expected. Nice job. Looks pretty good.

Fingers are crossed that he has the "belt"/waist lightning trim. Not bad for a mark 1. Not bad at all. I'm a little relieved.

The chin strap is less conspicuous in the pic which is good... and at that angle the ear pieces almost look right.

I'd love to see gold boots but I know that's asking a lot. Anyway neat.

Just give him the right ear pieces (how Ethan Van Sciver draws them) some gold lightning trim on his gloves and waste around the belt area, white behind the chest symbol, and we're good.

Really? Do we know each other?

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Has it the release date, for the Pilot, been announced yet?

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Really? Do we know each other?

Nope, we do not.

 

[regwec]

I see, so it was randomized bitterness.

 

[shauner111]

I dont like the suit. Too dark for my tastes.

 

[taigawithapen]

I dont like the suit. Too dark for my tastes.

Its just my guess based off of the behind the scenes stuff we've seen so far but I wouldnt be surprised if we saw the suit more in the daytime then we do at night. In the daylight the darker shade will probably look more vibrant.

 

[Kevin Smith]

The pic has me totally convinced that Chris Pine would make a great Flash/Barry Allen....Gustin really looks like him in that pic.

 

[Kevin Smith]

I wonder if they shot the pic at this angle because they don't have the waist lightning trim/"belt" on the suit....disappointing if true.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Is it just me or are there fake fingernails on the gloves...?

And socks.

Yes, Chris Pine is my first choice for Barry Allen as well.

That's actually the palm material that wraps around the finger. Many gloves with mixed materials are designed that way for durability.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Damn that suit is fantastic.

 

[Kevin Smith]

There is some yellow in the boots if you look closely.

It's like sprinkled on there a bit but something more aggressive and bold in terms of the gold on the boots (and costume in general) would be best (re: actual boots, lol).

Hope you're right...

Lovely.
