    He's fine if you're in the camp that always preferred Flash to have a leaner, more wiry build as befitting a long-distance runner, but some fans are in the camp that want Flash to be more muscular, like a 100m sprinter.

    It's an the age-old Flash issue which seems to really polarize opinion amongst fans and has been going as long as artists have depicted his build differently in line with their own view or talent [some artists simply draw him as muscular as Bats or Supes simply because they can only draw one body type].

    Personally, I've always like the Carmine Infantino/Alan Davis type build for Flash, which is quite like Gustins.

    Probably because he's been really busy with his side ventures. I was watching his livestream last night on Facebook and it sounds like he's booked up all of his free time to do things like TMNT, WWE, Nocking Point, and that other unannounced project that he spoke about a few months ago.

    They've finally upgraded the suit to the white circle. Now I want to see the wide belt and forearm lightening bolts a LA Carmine Infantino.

    Ideally I'd like to see the gold boots to buy I know they won't do that. Fixing the ear pieces would be nice, too.

    I don't mind the ear-pieces, but the lightning bolts instead of the wings always scream "Wally" to me instead of Barry.

    I know it's a little thing, but they've further fixed the folded-back cowl yet again so that it fully looks like a real cowl folded back. Yay!

    Yeah, awesome little detail to see the chin guard visible in the folded back faux cowl. Changes like that are small but can make a world of difference sometimes.

    I like Zoom's jacket - especially that it doesn't have a belt. And how it has a bit more form to it. It would be cool if, if/when Barry's suit gets an upgrade, it could be a little more like that.

    I'd like them to go completely the other way, to be honest - still waiting for a form-fitting one piece (that also doesnt require a belt ;) ).

    That would be great too, I just feel that the jacket and pants way can look pretty good if done well. The current suit is okay but there's still room for improvement.

    Costume is really cool other for the mask, imo it looks just bad, more funny than intimidating.

    Interesting how similar the suit is to Barry's own, though.

    Remember, this is the costume without visual effects.

    They need to bring our more gold on it, at the moment the suit is far too red, and the gold tends to disappear, they should replace his red belt with a gold one get a slimmer buckle.

    They should also bring a lot more gold onto the boots.

    Yeah I still don't understand the need for the giant belt buckle.

    The only thing I don't like about Zoom's costume is the floppy looking lightning bolts. I don't like how they're bent in towards the head at the ends.

    I think this might have been posted in another thread, but wanted to post this in an appropriate thread. It's one of many covers being given out at SDCC, and later for purchase everywhere else. It's the same suit that future Barry was wearing during the night of Nora's murder. Considering how they've been upgrading Barry's suit over the seasons, it's only a matter of time he starts wearing the more iconic suit.

    It's just the coloring. No word on the update of the suit.

    Yeah, it looks like the colour was touched up, rather than it being a new suit. Of course, it might not even be a new photo.

    I like the film version better. I was never a fan of the maroon red color they use in the TV show.
