The Flash The Flash Costume Thread

[super85]

He probably gets the costume before Ollie gives him his new "name" .

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, I actually expect the logo to get added to the costume at the very end of the pilot, after Ollie coins the name.

''I am........the Flash'' >end credits<

I just happen to love the suit. It's just that the lead actor is STILL too slim for that.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Nah, I think Gustins got close to the perfect build for Flash. Looks like an endurance runner rather than a sprinter, which is how I always figured Flash should look.

 

[Nathan]

Exactly. His build is perfect.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Wait, did vibe create the costume for barry?

It was mighty convenient wasn't it?

 

[cleverusername8]

Exactly. His build is perfect.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Google distance runners, even at the Olympic level they're generally very slim. I'd say Gustin actually appears to be bigger than some of them, I had a very similar build to his when I ran Cross Country.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I have but one real nitpick with it, and it's that the headgear vaguely has that same kind of doofus look that Cap's helmet had in Avengers. Like it makes his head look absurdly large.

Looking at it some more, it's not quite as bad here though. One of the clips I saw was much worse. Maybe the angle.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think the cowl is the best part of the suit ^

 

[The Guard]

"Absurdly large"?

It looks like a head.

 

[Nathan]

I just can't unsee the Ultron grin.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

"Absurdly large"?

It looks like a head.

A huge one, yes.

 

[Sawyer]

A huge one, yes.

Because there's totally no precedent for that in the comics...

He totally should have borrowed Garricks dog bowl for the show.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

I'll never understand the hate Garrick's helmet gets, that thing is awesome.

I really hate that new Garrick outfit.

But he gets the ear-bolts before the chest logo. Wonder what's up with that.

If the leaked audition tape we got is any indication the ear bolts function as a radio so they're there for a purpose while the chest logo is just a decoration.

 

[Nathan]

I find it weird that the chest already has the round circle where the logo is supposed to be. Its like he thought ahead and knew Barry wanted to be a hero, and reserved space for the chest logo.

I hate it too to busy.Modernizing Jay Garrick's costume that much doesn't seem right for the character.

I was going to say that in the trailer they are definitely communicating with him whilst he's The Flash, so I guess that's it.

 

[Verick808]

....Why would they do this?

 

[luis4u]

....Why would they do this?

I think the main costume could work, if it’s simplified. As it is, it’s too busy, but I have no problem with streamlining the old shirt-and-jeans look into a spandex bodysuit.
But that helmet just looks awful to me, both in general and for Jay Garrick. The Mercury helmet is what makes his look work.
