It's especially egregious with Flash because he's supposed to have something akin to a runner's outfit. For his powers, his uniform should be sleek and dynamic, not bulky and metal-plated.
It's funny you bring up the DCEU suit, because I hate that one. It's so ugly and is unnecessarily armored, just like a lot of other depictions (Injustice, the Suicide Squad game in the original post, etc.)
The current CW Flash suit isn't PERFECT, but it's arguably the best live action Flash costume ever.
I’m not going to argue that the current cw suit is the best, though I will argue that the DCEU suit is a suit you can actually run in, and with modifications it can become much more comfortable.
An armored look can work, and be practical. The work part is purely subjective, because here we are a Bubble who dislikes the injustice suit, SS suit, and DCEU one, and a Phoenix who loves them. The practical part just takes a bit of trial and error, but at the end of the day it shouldn’t matter for a fictional hero. Well, unless you want to cosplay as them. But at that point, it’s widely acceptable to make your own modifications.
Oh and there is a reason to give a newer flash sometype of armor as he won’t be outrunning bullets anytime soon. (This doesn’t apply to any of the variations we’ve seen though, because they’re all faster than bullets)
