DCEU Flash built his suit from scraps on torn off NASA shuttle and airplane parts. CW Flash was given a suit specifically designed at Star Labs for his powers.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Movie Barry will fuck up the timeline if his movies get off the ground. Bank on it.

Hahah maybe. TV Barry fucks with the timeline if he orders the wrong thing at Big Belly Burger.

 

[Slayven]

CW Flash needed a better costume for a long time now. Nothing tops Reverse Flash's.



And Slayven wouldn't be nagging if the JL Flash was in fact Wally

I would have been first in line to see the movie

 

[MisterHero]

Seriously maybe they could work together THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF SPEED FORCE and MAKE A COSTUME OUT OF THE MIRACLE THAT IS SPEED FORCE

Also the old TV Flash is there with his muscle-padded costume

 

[ZeroX03]

That CW outfit was made presumably one off for that episode. I'm not sure if they'll stick with it but the current one is due for a change.

I'm very partial of how colorful and faithful they managed to go with Wally's costume. He's a budget Kid Flash for sure, kinda useless, but he looks damn good.

CW Flash needed a better costume for a long time now. Nothing tops Reverse Flash's.

Thanks!

 

[Strangelove77]

They're both bad, but the tv show costume has sort of a retro thing going, like Reeve's Superman costume. It's cheesy but it's supposed to be.
The movie costume is just shit. I bet the guy who designed it thought it was modern and badass.

Cyborg looks really bad too.

 

[G-Fex]

I would have been first in line to see the movie

Seems like the only thing we have in common is our hatred for Carol Danvers.

I fear for other things.

 

[Slayven]

Even people that like Barry for some reason, know that Flash didn't really start until Wally made it great not again, but to begin with.

 

[Joni]

Lack of money sometimes helps to keep things simple.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Something weird about JL Flash's neck.

It looks like he has a double chin/neck rolls. Like Beaker.

 

[| Praxis |]

Superhero costumes look so dumb.

 

[jackdoe]

Even Gambit doesn't wear fingerless gloves anymore

Fingerless gloves are in now, for comic book movies. Captain America wears fingerless gloves and set the trend.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

The technology developed by Wayne Tech consists of strategically placed filaments that function like cables on a suspension bridge to offer support precisely where it’s needed.

These hyper strong kinetic Flywire filaments are applied to a minimalistic suit upper, reducing weight to create Wayne Tech's lightest material ever.

Paper-thin fabric that is highly malleable covers the user amplifying energy while reducing friction fatigue, with Wayne Tech Flywire filaments attaching to the suit to nerve endings maximizing transference and reducing latency.

Developed by Lucius Fox.

Explained here.

lol..Got me good, Phife.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

I prefer the movie costume, but his TV show costume was really good considering their budget.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

they both look awful

 

[sirap]

CW's suits look good in stills but once you see them in motion they start looking like ass. Budget CG makes it even worse imo.

Not that I'm a fan of Ezra's over-designed suit either but I'll take that any day over the pajamas Cap wore in Avengers.

What the fuck were they thinking.

 

[JJH]

I prefer the JL suit.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I still don't understand what all the wires are

Some sort of stylized faraday cage something something for using the speed force.

 

[jett]

That CW costume is garbage.

 

[lucebuce12]

That CW costume is garbage.

Kinda fitting that the picture in the OP has the CW version standing in front of a dumpster.

 

[Future Foundation]

It doesn't.

I prefer the JL suit.

Shit, Barry doesn't even have the best suit in his own series.

 

[driggonny]

I mean, I don't like either, but at least I don't want to cry when looking at the CW one.

 

[Ceres]

The weird jockstrap might be the worst part

 

[mortal]

They're both pretty bad. The JL version is just far too extremely bulky for a character like The Flash. When I think of super speed, I logically think streamlined.

The CW version was better designed in that regard, but I still wouldn't consider it great.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

That CW costume is garbage.

Kinda fitting that the picture in the OP has the CW version standing in front of a dumpster.

Damn lol..

 

[Mighty Chin]

CW Flash for the Win.

 

[Sojgat]

Lets be real. They both suck.

That's how it's done.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

hey at least we all know that speedforce prevent barry from leaving fingerprints around, amirite?

 

[Enduin]

They both suck. But not really sure how you would dress the Flash any way. I guess something akin to Batman's outfit, but in red with a lightning bolt instead of bat.

Most live action Super Hero costumes are trash though. They just don't translate from the page to the real world where fabrics and shit don't fit like they can when drawn and where human physiques aren't as robust as when drawn. Dare Devil looked great before he got his costume, now he looks like a clown. Would have been better if they just re-imagined The Flash's outfit to fit how clothes work in the real world and not forced themselves to create the costume from the comics.

 

[The Driver]

Just like the guys who keep saying AoS is good, y'all showing yo asses when you say shit like this.

CW Flash looks like a dork.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

It's a super hero costume, they all look bad and that's how it should be.

Also CW Flash is a great show, I'll let myself out.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Even people that like Barry for some reason, know that Flash didn't really start until Wally made it great not again, but to begin with.

How does it feel knowing if you remove Barry from Wally's origin, he ain't shit?

 

[HawksWinStanley]

I don't think it's that bad, it just looks a little overdesigned.

 

[ZeroX03]

CW Flash looks like a dork.

Accurate representation of Barry then

How does it feel knowing if you remove Barry from Wally's origin, he ain't shit?

He still had 20+ years of development. What does Linda have to do with Barry?

 

[jon bones]

man that JL costume looks terrible, but i'm sure the fights will be good.

Just like the guys who keep saying AoS is good, y'all showing yo asses when you say shit like this.

CW Flash looks like a dork.

AoS is on another level from The CW.

 

[Goro Majima]

The movie one looks unnecessarily busy and detailed as all hell

Kinda like the Power Rangers movie costumes

 

[PanSexual_Peacock]

JL Flash really doesn't look bad. Especially considering that's the suit he built himself from NASA scraps. He gets another throughout the movie that we haven't seen yet.

 

[sirap]

Would have been better if they just re-imagined The Flash's outfit to fit how clothes work in the real world and not forced themselves to create the costume from the comics.

I got you fam.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Enduin]

I got you fam.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I want to say I threw up in my mouth, but there was so much I threw up for real.

 

[DragonGirl]

I mean, super hero costumes worn by real people tend to look doofy, it's just, do you prefer simple body suit doofy or over designed busy bodysuit doofy.

 

[y2dvd]

JL costume looks like a new Power Rangers reject.

 

[Dali]

It's too busy and looks like a movie costume rather than something thrown together with utility in mind. Also cyborg same complaint: too busy. He looks like a bayformer.

 

[KDash31987]

There were some JL toys when I was...in middle school?...which had the first Kyle Rayner figure that is see. As a whole they were a bit awkward and edgy, as thintgs in the late 90s were. This flash suit seems like they lifted that toy's suit directly onto film.

Total Justice?

 

[Saya]

I kinda like the JL costume. i think it will look great in motion

 

[Ahasverus]

For the 85987423096th time, that's not his final suit. But I guess Slayven ran out of DCEU clickbait for the week.

 

[Professor Lich]

So what's wrong with fingerless gloves exactly? Just curious.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I don't mind the JL one.

'specially that cod piece

 

[KDash31987]

So what's wrong with fingerless gloves exactly? Just curious.

A forensic investigator wearing fingerless gloves is kinda odd. He should know better than to leave his fingerprints everywhere!

 

[Professor Lich]

A forensic scientist wearing fingerless gloves is kinda odd. He should know better than to leave his fingerprints everywhere!

That makes sense, thanks! Also just noticed someone else mention that too.

 

[WedgeX]

Total Justice?

My man.

Yes!
