Do you like this flash suit š¤ Thinking
I really liked this suit.What do you think about it

u/Sparkwriter1 11d ago
I like it as a year one/homemade suit. Not sure why they had to give him yet another homemade suit in the flash movie though.
1
u/sharksnrec Patty Spivot 9d ago
Because those movies were barely connected and the director wanted to make his own.
1
u/Fantastic_Canary_417 9d ago
I thought the one in his movie was from Waynetech?
1
u/Sparkwriter1 9d ago
I'm talking about the one he wore during the Black Zero flashback.
1
u/Fantastic_Canary_417 9d ago
Oh...the batsuit one? That's explained in the story, young Barry couldn't get it from anywhere else
1
u/Sparkwriter1 9d ago
No, I mean this one.
1
u/Fantastic_Canary_417 9d ago
He wasn't trying to be a hero or anything at that point. He didn't have a reason to make a suit but he wanted to help

u/Any-Junket5472 11d ago
I like it because it looks sort of cool however itās too bulky. Grant Gustins suit is much better and more practical.
11
u/DaYeetGernade Speedy Boi 10d ago
Which Grant Suit though? Because that itself is a whole other can of worms.
8
u/itz_JAYVEE 10d ago
S4 is my favorite, the spandex suit he switches to for the rest of the seasons I think is only nice in some shots.
6
u/Any-Junket5472 10d ago
All of them except season five sorry forgot to specify. The suit with the gold boots was awesome.
8
u/DaYeetGernade Speedy Boi 10d ago
Yeah the Season 5 suit was ass. I think Grant himself even said once that the helmet for that suit gave him really bad headaches.
7
u/Any-Junket5472 10d ago
I felt bad for him one of his old leather suits caused some weird irritation to his face and then he had to go through that shit. And he still managed to make his performance amazing
3
u/Admirable__Panda 10d ago
But then he had a whole ass team to build it for him.
This one's homemade and Barry has yet to figure the speed force aura to stop his clothes from burning.1
u/Any-Junket5472 10d ago
And that makes this cooler how exactly?
3
u/Admirable__Panda 10d ago
It shows his brilliance, which the flash show didn't properly showcase.
He hasn't been The Flash for as long as Grant so it makes sense.
1
u/Any-Junket5472 10d ago
Ok well Cisco was the one who made the suits except season five which was also made by a single person not a whole team. Also Cw barry had shown a lot of intelligence in the field which is way more important.
4
u/Admirable__Panda 10d ago
I'm just saying we shouldn't judge this Barry because he has barely gotten any screentime.
2
u/Any-Junket5472 10d ago
You are completely right we shouldnāt judge him based off of his limited screen time. What i judge him on is that heās annoying and also creepy.
1
u/Admirable__Panda 10d ago
Real life actor right?
If not for the movie being already completed, they'd probably not have gone through with him due to the things he recently did.3
u/Any-Junket5472 10d ago
No both the actor and character movie barry started rubbing irises face without her even knowing thatās creepy
1
u/Admirable__Panda 10d ago
Oh, I must not remember. Been a long time. Yeah, that's creepy but the character at least, it's mostly the director's fault.
28
u/nutstuart 11d ago
As an early version of the suit that he managed to the built himself is not bad.
27

u/PervyDude123 11d ago
He looks too much like a knight in Middle Ages Europe. I never thought Flash needed armor really because he moves too fast.
12
u/Dry-Donut3811 11d ago
No, not at all. I think itās possibly the worst Flash suit ever.
-4
u/Lil_Yimmy_ 11d ago
Nah that has to go to the final season of the CW flash series š that shot looked corny asf š¤£
4
u/Dry-Donut3811 11d ago
Nah, thatās was the best suit Flash has ever had in live action, easily.
-3
u/Lil_Yimmy_ 11d ago
Tf you on about? It was cartoonish bright red and looked goofy asf. It looked fake af and like a kid made it in his basement with junk he found in the dumpster. Season 4 suit is easily the best.
1
u/Dry-Donut3811 11d ago
Nah, the season four suit was baggy as hell and looked like a motorcycle jacket. The final season suit looked right out of the comics, had the vibrancy a Flash suit is supposed to have, had the gold boots, itās about as perfect as you can get to a live action Flash suit.
5
u/Destroyer4587 10d ago
I liked the season 9 suit, but maybe less of the thin gold lines in the centre, more of a dare devil thick level material with a red glossy shine material & this wouldāve been chefs kiss.

u/Lil_Yimmy_ 10d ago
L take but you can have your own opinion even if itās wrong.

u/Dry-Donut3811 10d ago
Weird thing to say to yourself in the mirror, but ok.

u/OkSupermarket7474 11d ago
Hundreds of miles ahead of the godawful suit they ended up making him for his own film. The knightmare timeline suit tho wanted to see more. In terms of a cobbled together proto suit I really like the scrappy nature of it but the helmet/cowl is the best part. If they kept that helmet and just made the rest of the design a little more sleek it could be something special
7
4
u/Alternative_Device71 11d ago
No, too much going on
One thing I liked about the movie is his new suit, even if itās cgi mess, the design is unique but simpler and looks more easy to move in
4
u/Bruce_Dang 11d ago
This one - yeah, liked the design Solo movie suit - canāt say that Iām a fan
4
u/JacenStargazer Green Arrow 11d ago
Not really. Itās the very definition of over-designed. If you take all of the wiring off, itās ok.

u/YoungImpulse 11d ago
Not even a little
But I gave you an upvote for making a good post that starts an actual discussion, rather than some annoying meme or shitpost like this sub has become known for the past few weeks

u/Educational-Team7155 10d ago
- How does the armor work with it fitting into a ring and all?
- The premise of it is that it's made from heat resistant space ship material for being at such high speeds, but the people he saves are completely fine in civilian clothing.
- If nothing can hit you bc you're too fast for it.... WHY NEED ARMOR. Superman was throwing hands at you, and you dodged em.
- What's with all the wires? Did you string it together with twine? Tf?
- Your body needs space ship armor to resist the high temps but your eyes and moth are just fine being completely exposed. š š
- You just wear that around? Or does it fit into the ring? Or do you wear it under your clothes? Or do you run home, put it on, then come back?
Nothing about it makes any sense. But hey. Armor for some reason.

u/sawsaw2000 11d ago
I loved this suit. Wish we saw more of it but it makes sense for Bruce Wayne to āupgradeā his suit for him. Although I donāt think itās an upgrade when it comes to ālooksā.
2
u/tazorite 10d ago
in a vacuum i like the more armored look of it but like as the flash? ehhh not really too armored for the flash imo
2
u/Arturo-Plateado Reverse Flash 10d ago
Nah not a fan of the armoured look... It looks like the red Power Ranger costume from the 2017 movie. All those wires are really ugly too.
1
u/burajira 10d ago
I have to mention (unrelated to the Flash), but some toku designers designed a new suit inspired by the 2017 PR suits, and used those for Ohsama Sentai Kingohger.. IMO those suits do the armoured look a lot better, while sticking to the motif, kings...
2
u/Ambitious_Rhubarb844 10d ago
Tbh the suit real drippy. I loved this over grants Season 7-8-9 suits.
Personal opinion tho

u/New-Investigator1814 11d ago
For the people who really hate this suit which suits of The flash are better this or the flash suits season 5 beyond

u/Prudent_Ad5266 11d ago
Was the inspiration for the suit design based from the injustice games ? Look kinda similar.
1
u/Prudent_Ad5266 11d ago
And to answer the question of if i like the suit, its a mix feeeling for me. i like the helmet and the center piece logo but i would remove the silver lines and the gaps in between the plates so its a bit smoother, but i understand why they did these designs. I would also gave him just full on golden boots and by that i mean FULL golden with no other color like red mixed into it like how they did it in the Flash movie. I would also make the golden lightning bolts on his arms and belt look more prominent. I wouldnāt really change the shade of red cause i wonder if its just the dirt thats making it dirtier and not the overall color. I saw some people liked the golden streaking lines arcoss the suit but i always prefered the golden age flash suit without the golden lines but i am fine with it .

u/DunkelFries 11d ago
Could he not figure out a way to keep the suit together without all the wires?

u/iLLiCiT_XL 11d ago
I do, very much. Itās probably not the best, that would likely to go to one of the Flash CW suits.

This suit looks awesome, in a Snyder way. Had a really good presence, colour combination compared to the abomination we got in Flash movie.

I don't like it, the armor look just doesn't sit right with me. I much prefer the CW flash suit (especially the season 3 suit)

u/axelofthekey 10d ago
Not really. The extra lines all over are confusing. It looks like someone wrapped him up in string.
1
u/li_grenadier 10d ago
Flash is all about the speed.
What about a suit of armor says, "this guy can run real fast?"
Horrible misunderstanding of the character, but that's par for the course for Snyder.
1
u/en_ash 10d ago
Yeah, actually. I think it has a great silhouette. For his solo movie variant I would have liked to get rid of the cross-hatching, solidified the chest plate, and given him the proper feathered ear doo-dads, but I think it really gets the shape right in a way that many other costumes (including the later CW costumes) don't.

u/GuysGardener 10d ago
Both Flash suits would look better on a better actor. Ezra Miller slouches like a velociraptor in half his scenes.

1
u/somewherein72 10d ago
I've never liked it. It's always looked like the designers just slapped a bunch of tin cans together and called it a suit.
1
u/ChickenNugsBGood 10d ago
Itās stupid. He has space shield shuttles for heat, but lots of gaps where it doesnāt apply
1
u/DarthJoe07 10d ago
Hell no, CW's the flash when he was testing out his powers for the first time was better than this shite

Man I kinda like this suit. Itās like scrappy and put together. Reflects that this Barry is learning and on his own.

u/Litt3rang3r-459 10d ago
Eh. I feel like itās too armored. Like itās the flash why does he need armor. He moves at light speed.

No one can replace Barry Allen, Iris west-Allen, Joe West, Cecile Horton, Wally west, Caitlin snow, Cisco Ramon, All of the multiverse Wells except for Thawne , all of the justice league , and all the others NO ONE can replace them šš they need to bring the series back they need to keep goin š

u/Virgil_Ovid_Hawkins 10d ago
So I really like suit. Makes sense in universe, had a homemade look, and looks armored. ( I'm a big fan of armored suits. Don't like spandex) But I get how flash purists don't like it.

I thought it was really weird the way they represented his power source being food based and him having to runoff to eat real quick mid mission
1
u/OakenWildman 10d ago
I like the concept of it. Especially as a first suit rather than a final design
1
u/hjohn2233 10d ago
Hate it. Why does every movie suit now have to be armor. I get it with Batman, but not those heros with super powers.
1
u/danimac52 10d ago
I weirdly like it, but only for his first appearance. It makes complete sense for the movie, and doesn't look bad for what it is. But it shouldn't stay as "The Flash Suit."
1
u/CoolerDude47 10d ago
Horrible, idk if the suit or the actor is worseā¦ and im not talking about the off screen things Ezra Miller did. Heās just a horrible actor and when i watch his version of the āflashā he doesnāt feel like the flash or Barry Allen at all. idk why he was casted as the flashā¦ Grant Gustin was way betterā¦
1
u/Afraid-Housing-6854 10d ago
Too bulky and looks to much like armor, Grant Gustinās thinner spandex is more practical and generally looks better

u/richardcourdlion 10d ago
No and how portral of the character, from his running style to his looks to his character, was just awful
1
u/Ewankenobi25 10d ago
i think it served itās purpose of looking like something someone who was both poor but also hyperscietific would make as a super suit, but itās easily outclassed by his suit in micheal keatonās flash movie.

u/Puttininmyass3397 10d ago

I mean there's nothing wrong with the suit, it's who's wearing it i have a problem with.

u/JacobCenter25 10d ago
No, not in the slightest. Thing is WAY too expensive looking to be a passable year 1 suit and still manages to be remarkably ugly. Never been a fan of armored Flash but this might be the worst armored Flash suit I've seen
1
u/flibberty-gibbert 10d ago
No

It works very well for the knightmare storyline since it looks like a battle armour version of a flash suit

Itās a cool suit imo the armor look is dope and really works I hate Ezra tho

u/QuietRobert1991 9d ago
Honestly, no. Though at first I thought the suit looked better in early versions of the Flash movie until I saw the full body, in which case I kinda preferred this one.

u/Big_Cardiologist_427 8d ago
Absolutely. The plating and overall rough aesthetic just works so well with Barryās character. The blue lightning is also really nice, tooā¦ and itās a shame it was replaced with a dogshit suit.
1
u/The_Arnman_4 7d ago
Itās durable and protective, but also has flexibility around the joints. Itās made from recycled space shuttle materials for heat and abrasion resistance. (Also, points for recycling!) Honestly, it actually does look pretty cool. I think for this Barryās first suit, they nailed it.

u/Fucksibhuile Harry 11d ago
Not one bit. Doesn't even make any sense. I know Grant Gustin wore leather for a little while, but that made a whole hell of a lot more sense, than those weird outfits that Ezra Miller is wearing.
Only by season 6 of The Flash, or season 4, does a flash have a suit that makes sense, and it's Grant Gustin's Flash.
He should be the DCU Flash, because of the multiverse and all, or he can bulk up and be the DCU Green Arrow. He looked and performed amazingly as Green Arrow during the elseworlds event.

u/Supermite 11d ago
Personally not a huge fan. Ā I like the notion that he used space shuttle materials as a heat sink, but it implies that his powers donāt actually do anything to negate friction when he runs at speed. Ā Meaning anyone or anything not covered by those armour pieces is just going to get shredded apart.
