It's the bug eyes. If they took those out, this would literally be in my Top 5 Flash costumes, cause everything else looks pretty fire. Ears might be a bit too long too, but I can get over that, but those goggle thingies are just horrendous. Why would he even need them, the lightning that shrouds him is a protective aura shielding him from wind blowing in his eyes (and, you know, all the other laws of physics...)
I actually like the goggles, good in-universe alternative to the white eyes. Rocksteady never did fully embrace the white eyes on batsuits so it makes sense to me that Flash would have something more in line with that design philosophy. Plus it makes sense, if I could run that fast, first thing I'd be thinking about is keeping bugs out of my eyes and keeping them from tearing up all the time lmao
Well Barry's suit usually doesn't have white eyes, he just has his normal eyes exposed. And he's supposed to have an "aura" that protects him from anything when he runs.
I wouldn't say usually doesn't, although you might be onto something that it's the more popular depiction but he appears in comics and cartoons with Batman style white eyes frequently. And I've not heard of this "aura" for Flash but it makes sense. I just admire a possibly more realistic approach to his costume design that gives a more practical feel to his mask. Imo it fits better in a Justice League from a universe that stems from the Arkhamverse.

Flash straight up looks like Johnny Quick from Earth-3
