The Official Flash thread

[Brown Lantern]

I liked that it just sort of appeared on Wally and Barry's like "what the?!" and Wally's like, "Oh yeah, I gotta show you how to do that sometime." Glad to see Wally's back in the habit of Speed-Forcing up his costumes, as opposed to using Barry's old ring to shoot out a costume, which I always found a bit silly.

Yeh I liked that too but I still had to wonder what comic book physics allows the Flashes to have costumes put on their bodies and in some cases a new costume created entierly?

Are they picking them from the time stream or are the suits made of speed force like the GL's suits are made of will power?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Made of Speed Force energy. At least, Wally's was back in Waid's run and it seemed like he returned to doing that in what little I read of this issue. Jesse and the others probably learned to do the same; the Speed Force is only new to Barry, really.

 

[Flash Facts]

Actually Wally made all of their suits.

 

[Assassin]

i bet he enjoyed putting Jessie's suit on

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Perv.

 

[Brown Lantern]

So can they make other stuff out of the speed force then? This just seems kinda redonkulous.

 

[yenaled]

Wally eats two speed force eggs and drinks a speed force cup of coffee each morning before going for a run.

Ethan Van Sciver's Flash Design. Anyone got a pic?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Here you go

Spoiler

It's not actually Van Sciver's design, either. It's a slight modification of a costume design Wally wore in the '90s.

 

[Drakon]

Oh. I thought that's what they were talking about. I saw it but I wasn't sure. Thanks, Corp.

I kinda like it, but I wish the mouth had the angle over the nose on it, like Barry's. Cause he kinda looks Batman-ish there.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that's one of the few changes from the '90s version. There was kind of a lightning-shape to the area over the nose/mouth.

 

[Drakon]

I won't lie. I was hoping for something a little more drastic a change.. =\

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Suits me fine. I always liked Wally's shiny costume. It's probably the best way they could do it to differentiate him from Barry while retaining a design that still immediately says "this is the Flash."

Personally, I think it totally looks better than Barry's costume, too.

 

[Drakon]

I dunno. Maybe something like the Dark Flash would have been interesting. I'm sure the mold could have been dented without being completely broken, you know? Also:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, point taken. I was saying earlier that I wouldn't have minded seeing Wally get the silver and red color scheme, but I guess they wanted to keep him in the iconic Flash colors. So instead they figured, "SHINY!"

 

[Drakon]

Which makes sense. But you know how I get when it comes to uniforms. I'm like a superhero fashionista.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Tim Gunn of capes and tights.

 

[Drakon]

Hell, I'd even take Edna.

"E, you know I retired for superhero stuff years ago."
"As have I, dahling, and yet here we are..."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

...

Tim Gunn is the only fashion person I know of.

 

[Kevin Smith]

shoulda went silver instead of gold on Wally's "new" suit. And I am honestly questioning what the point of Rebirth is...

Dude, Edna, from the Incredibles.

Something is very wrong with the world all of a sudden.

I kinda like Barry's wally's is tooo, chinsey. I love how Wally's daughter is running though... very Beano lmao.
